FOOTBALL.
Not Up To Standard.
Press Association—Copyright Sydney, Last Night. .The Herald says the visitors simply ran over the locals, but ife struck tunny of those who remembered the last New Zealand team, that the forwards were not up to the standard then attained. ~ There were none of those overwhelming and magnificent forward rushes which carried everything before them, nor w«s the combination, perhaps, of the umo ," brilliance. Probably next Batardaj, when ;the team get rid of the effects of the sea voyage, they will hava th&ken themselves better together. The Telegraph says it is many yean since New Zealand has shown to go little' advantage here. Toe sea trip cannot be accepted as a complete excuse, for their condition was good enough. Where they failed comparatively war- in the forwards, who were often lacking the astute foresight which always characterised the New Zealanders. Time after time the forwards blundered in a manner quite foreign to the traditions of New Zealand football.
. Wellington, defeated Horowhenna on Saturday by 9 points to. 8.
