TO FOOTBALLERS.

TO still further increase the growing popularity of the Graphic in athletic and football circles, the prop ietor has decided on offering week by week a PRIZE OF TWO GUINEAS (£2 2s) or any clear sighted person who can FORETELL THE RESULT of A GIVEN FOOTHALL MATCH, giving the exact number of points scored on each side. Theseconipetitionsarecommononathletic papers in England, but have not, so far as we can learn, been attempted in New Zealand. The offer is perfectly genuine, emanating from the office itself as a generous bid for public favour amongst the very large class who take an interest in football. There are no harassing conditions. All that has to be done is to write on the coupon below in the division so marked the name of the winning club, and the exact number of points scored. Relow this in the proper allotted space the name of the defeated club with number of points scored by them. The scores of victors and defeated must both be correctly guessed. The name and address having been clearly written in their allotted place, the coupon must then be cut out and put in an envelope posted so as to reach hei e on the Friday morning before the match is played. Competitions from the South must arrive by mail, reaching Auckland on Monday, and must bear the post mark of the town from which they come prior to the date on which the match was played. Competitions must be addressed ‘ Editor, Graphic, Shortland-street, Auckland,’ with the words * football competition ’ in the left-hand corner. COUPON. TO BE DETACHED.
