FOOTBALL.
Old Towers footballers will regret to learn of the death of Davy Quinn, the crack right wing forward of the Queenton Rangers British Association game, about 20 years ago. He was the best dribbler at the game in the Towers and his bowed legs appeared to assist him in screwing the ball to the centre. His great mates of those days were the Lauders, Alex Smith and his big brother, and Ferguson. Those were great days for the Rangers but the mines petered out and they had to go afield, and the sport knew them no more. Davy, who was universally esteemed, died in Kuridala Hospital.

FOOTBALL. SOCCER CODE.

The committee last night dismissed the protest. Hamilton gave notice of appeal, and the matter will be further considered at a delegate meeting to be held in Premier Hotel, Broadmadow on Saturday night. Only two games will be played on Saturday, the first a challenge match, and the other the Nurse Cup tie between West Wallsend and Wallsend.

SOCCER FINALS APPROACH.
The Kerr Cup semi-final, in which Wallsend and Weston were engaged, was decided at the Tramway Ground, Hamilton, on Saturday, before a comparatively small attendance. There was little to recommend the game, which resulted in a win for Wallsend 3-0. In the early match Woodpeckers ousted Pyrmont from the Richardson Cup competition by winning the semi-final 3-0. The match at Wallsend, where West Wallsend met Hamilton for the benefit of the Wallsend Hospital, attracted a very fair attendance, and also resulted in a 3-0 win, West Wallsend being the winners. Hamilton protested on the grounds that West Wallsend were not on the ground until 50 minutes after the game should have started, but this was subsequently dismissed by the committee. To-morrow a Nurse Cup game will provide the chief interest, Wallsend and West Walkend being the opposing teams. The winners will have to journey to the South Coast to oppose a team there. On the following Saturday these two teams will meet in the final for Kerr Cup, and this match will bring the season to a close. Wallsend will play Irwin to-morrow in lieu of Gardiner, while West Wallsend will place the same pack in the field that has done so well lately. The early match will see Woodpeckers and Wallsend Rovers engaged. The Richardson Cup final is also expected to be played to-morrow week.

The wind-up function of the 1920 W.A.F.A. premiers took place in the form of a, smoker jat the Caledonian Hall, in the presence of a large representative gathering.
....
Mr. Linkson, in responding, thanked the Fremantle Club from his heart for the appreciative way they had honored the toast of the ruling body. He also thanked them for their kind references to himself and the other representatives of the W.A.F.A. who were present. It was pleasing to know that their efforts in the furtherance of the national game in this State were being appreciated. He stigmatised the W.A.F.L. on account of their lack of encouragement to the grades below them, and acquainted his hearers of the fact that fifty per cent. of the boys in the schools paid allegiance to the soccer code. In conclusion he hoped that next season the W.A.F.A. would secure a more influential man [ie not himself], a man with time and means at his disposal to take the presidential chair on the association, it being essential, in his opinion, to do same justice.

JUNIOR SOCCER.
A very enjoyable evening was spent at the Fremantle Rovers' social on Saturday last. The items rendered by the Drop Bros were excellent, and the games and dances were thoroughly enjoyed. About half past ten the company adjourned to the supper room where a dainty supper was partaken of. During supper various toasts were proposed, the chief being those of Lieutenant Shand, the president (who, unfortunately, was unable to attend), the supporters of the team, and the skipper (Mr. J. Groves). A hearty vote of thanks was passed to the lady helpers Mesdames Groves, Clarke, and Drennan. Special praise is due to Mrs. Groves, "the Mother of the Team," for the originality and genius shown in the decoration of the table. The proceedings terminated at midnight with "Auld Lang Syne," and a vote of thanks to the pianists. Miss Regan and Mickle and Mr. Little.
