WANGANUI ASSOCIATION CUP COMPETITION. FIXTURES FOR TO-MORROW. The Wanganui Association Cup competition which commenced last week lias already created much interest by reason of the defeat of Thistle by Rangers, who thus bring to fruition their two previous unsuccessful attempts at defeating the champion team. Rangers are to meet Eastbrooke to-morrow and if the same form cau be produced then a ding-dong tussle should result. Eastbrooke can field a very strong eleven and at full strength will prove n very tough proposition. Thistle will meet Athletic, but have probably learnt their lesson and will not be caught napping two Saturdays in succession. The junior games continue to attract attention because of good team-work being displayed by all teams. There is very little between the teams and although Athletic still hold the lead the next three games will be the real test of whether they are superior or not. The fixtures and referees for to-mor-row are: Seniors. —Rangers v. Eastbrooke on Victoria Park No. 1 ground at 2.45 p.m.: referee, Mr. B. Phillips. Thistle v.
