SENIOR B GRADE

ORIENTAL AND UNIVERSITY. Conditions were perfect at Wakefield Park for the game between Oriental and University, and play was interesting and exciting. University kicked off, and after some midfield play a bright dash by Oriental saw W. Lochore go across in' the corner. Pringle's kick failed. 3-0. Oriental were again prominent in some neat rushes^ but repeated infringements spoiled promising movements. University, troubled by the sun, then took a hand in attacking, and carrying play to the Oriental twenty-five, were unfortunate in not, scoring. Rodger made a good but unsuccessful shot at goal. The second spell opened with give-and-take play, and during a scramble V. Lochore was injured; and left the field. Oriental were dangerous, but Griffen saved well, and dashing up field he again handled and potted a neat goal. University 4, Oriental 3. Justr afterwards offside play by University gave Pringle his chance, and he made no mistake with the kick. 6:4. University attacked, and Airey dashed across, Malfroy converting 9-6. Oriental then carried play upfield, and from the ruck M'llraith forced himself over in the corner for a try (unconverted). 9-9. Some excellent play was made by both sides, but an infringement by Oriental enabled Malfroy to goal. 12-9. Shortly afterwards Reid put Oriental aheadiby sending over a great "pot." 13-12. Exciting play followed, and Pringle, making a great dash, went over. He.converted, and the game ended in the dark with the score: Oriental 18, University .12. Mr. A. C. Kitto was the referee.
