RUGBY FOOTBALL.

BIG MATCHES TO-MORROW THE INTER-ISLAND FIXTURE. WAIKATO TO PLAY AUCKLAND. COLLEGE GAMES AT HAMILTON. A return match with Auckland will be played at Auckland to-morrow by the Waikato representative fifteen. When these sides met at Hamilton on June 3 last the Aucklanders had the verdict by a five-point margin, the final scores reading 22—17. Waikato has had a fairly good record in representative matches this season, having defeated Wanganui and Wairarapa, while Taranaki (which has had a win from Auckland) led them by s—o in a recent match at Stratford. In view of Waikato's improved form and the fact that Auckland will be weakened by the absence of Solomon, Batty and Hadley at the inter-island game, there is every prospect of the visitors emerging victorious to-morrow. General interest throughout the country will be focussed on the historic inter-island fixture at Wellington. Colin Cameron will be representing Waikato in the North Island team, while a former Waikato player, W. Allen, is included in the South Island fifteen.

Prominence will be given to college games in the Hamilton Rugby Union s fixtures to-morrow. The principal match will be that between the first fifteens of the Auckland Grammar School and Hamilton High School on No. 1 ground. Rugby Park, at 3 p.m. A match between Pukekohe Technical High School and Hamilton Technical High School will be played on No. 2 ground.
