BRITISH ASSOCIATION.
The inability of the Loongana. to raise a team on Saturday enabled the chosen northern players for the North v. South match to indulge in an excellent practice game, the selected for ward line playing on one side and the backs on the othcr. The southern team has been chosen as follows: - Goal, Reid (St. George's); full backs, Cracknell and Fletcher (South Hobart); half-backs, Hogbcen and Almond (St. George's) and Mortimer (Hobart); forwards, Jones and Benson (St. George's), Honeysett (South Hobart), Pratt (St. George's). and Hudson (Y.M.C.A.). Reserves-Perry and Lovett (Y.M.C.A.). All endeavours to secure an enclosed ground having failed, and the Cypress-street pitch being liable to flooding along the western touch-line, the association is compelled to play the game on York Park, so on Saturday next the public will witness the first North and South match under B.A. rules on all open reserve. It says much for the spirit prevailing in southern soccer circles that they should bring along a team under the circumstances. The northern eleven has already been published.
