RANFURLY SHIELD.

TO-MORROW’S MATCH WITH AUCKLAND. WAIRARAPA TEAM SELECTED. Mr. E.

Roach (Old Boys); three-quarters, Randal Booth (Gladstone), C. Stringfellow (Greytown), F. Fuller (Greytown); five-eighths, A. E. Cooke (Old Boys), R. Cundy (Greytown); half, J. Mill (Masterton); wing forward, J. Donald (Greytown); hookers, W. Irvine (Carterton), K. Reid (Carterton); lock, I. Harvey (Masterton) ; supports, M. Willoughby (Red Star), S. Willoughby (Red Star); back row, N. McGregor (Gladstone), S. Olliver (Carterton). Emergencies: Backs: I. Hart (Carterton), A. V. Jury (Greytown), T. Corkill (Red Star); forwards, K. Fairbrother (Carterton), J. Walker (Gladstone); J. Le Quesne (Old Boys). The team will assemble at the Club Hotel, Carterton, at noon on Saturday. A masseur will be in attendance. With Reside not available, the team selected is probably Wairarapa’s best, and one that should meet with general approval. Twenty-three players assembled at the Carterton Showgrounds yesterday afternoon and held a practice under the eye of Mr. McKenzie, who made his final selection later. The following are the midget teams, to play during the half-time interval to the Shield match:— Central (maroon). —Rex Riley (capt.) Ross Riley (vice-eapt.), Donaldson, Watson, Cameron, Bodie, Silvester; reserve, Lane. Carterton.—Rawlings (capt.), Steffert, Thompson, Lawrence, Butler, Reid, O’Loughlin; reserve, Steel. THE OFFICIAL SOUVENIR A fine photographic reproduction of the Ranfurly Shield takes pride of place on the tinted cover of the souvenir programme for the Auckland v. Wairarapa match to-morrow. Thirtytwo pages of pictures, records and interesting reading matter will prove of interest to all followers of New Zealand’s national pastime. The Souvenir will be bn sale in Masterton and <!arterton this afternoon. This latest pub* lication of Mr. Walter E. Knott and his associates, the Masterton Printing Company, sets a standard in programme publicity.
