Lambert, of the New Zealand mission, Auckland, writes underdate of December 11, 1918: "Our foot-ball team has again won the championship. For the past twelve years, the schools in the dis- trict in which our college is located have endeavored to secure the banner shown in the photograph. Our school has won for three successive sea- sons, and is the proud possessor of the banner. Our students are all natives of Maori. Elder Church, whose picture is shown with those of the boys, is from Panguitch, Utah, and has been coach during the past two seasons. Much credit is due him for the splendid results achieved. I assure you that the Era is much appreciated in this mission.
