The much-discussed match between the Auckland and North Auckland reps, took place at Kensington Park tn-rtay. and resulted in a two-point win for the visitors. There was a larKO nttentlance of the ptililio. equal to that which witnessed last week's match with the New Zealand Maori team. Correct placing of the backs, which North Auckland lacked, gave opening to a seemingly easy try In the scoon.i quarter, while early in the second half the North Auckland full-back was outclassed by the opposing full-hack, who, following his kick, came right through and scored, the try being North Auckland worked hard and scored their two tries by persistent battling. Auckland's success in hooking the ball and getting it away to the backs was marked throughout the match. Only once or twice instances of rough play on the part of Auckland called forth condemnation from the spectators. Somerville kicked oft" for Auckland against the nun, but offside play on the return liv McCullou.cli r* , suited in 21 free kick to North, for wlioiii Weston gained ground on the lino. Shortly afterwards Kerr-Tnylor took the ball in his stride, but the spurt was spoiled by a faulty paws.. Working in Auckland's ground Hamilton passed to Weston, to Groville. lmt Auckland secured and kicked out. Shortly afterwards Auckland forwards set up a good passing rush, and Tom Finlayson saved well. McManus gaining- some grouud, a passing rush was set going by McManufi, who passed to Grant, who transferred to Greg-ory, who punted, the ball going close. Shortly after Williams got away, but was well tackled by C'avanagh. From scrum Wightman got possession, passing to Weston, who put in a good run, but was etopped in Auckland's twenty-five by Karllv Hamilton then secured th« oall. which weut out. A serum shortly afterwards let Wittner get the ball, who passed to Weston rutting in a good run on the blind side he transferred to Harding, who scored a try near the corner. Kerr-Taylor's kick was good, but rose high ami fell short. North Aueklnnd S. Auckland 0. Resuming play was kept in midfleid for a while. KerfTaylor and Crawford were associated in making a good opening for North, but the effort was smothered. Williams secured the ball for Auckland, and got more than halfway by n well-timed run. Grcville, Wigatman. and T. Finlayson carried play to Auckland's twenty-five, where Auckland secured. Taylor sending the ball to Somerville, who parsed to Marshall, whn scored in a good position. Gregory took the kick but failed to add the major points. North Auckland 3 Auckland " j On changing over Auckland pressed hard but a good mark by Weston eased the pressure. Following on mid-Held play Earlly secured the balL passing to Grant who put In a good line kick. Auckland were twice penalised for offside play. Some useful work was done by l*al Heta. who transferred to Harding, a force by Auckland saving. Open play followed, Greville being prominent till Wright marked. At this stage North Auckland were keeping the visitors on the defensive. Crawford secured and sent to Weston to Harding, who tried to cut in, but Earlly came to the rescue, and passed to Wright, on to Grant, who was offside. Give and take play followed, Auckland being more often on the defensive. Half time came with the score unaltered.

On the resumption North carred play to Auckland, who started to throw the "ball about, but could not stem the rush. Finally Wlllaams put In a fast run, but could not evade Hamilton, who subsequently marked. Following np his kick Hamilton smothered the return, and Cavanagh got possession and transferred to Wlghtman. who scored. Hamilton failed to convert. North Auckland C, Auckland 3.

Open play followed, till S. Finlayson got away for North, till stopped. Findlay secured, and taking advantage of an openingfollowed up his kick; going right through the pack he met with lttle opposition from the North Auckland full-back, and scored a lone-handed try. which Gregory converted. Auckland S, North Auckland (j.

Persistent attempts were made n the last the game* being more tha willing. On rare occasions they managed to break through, but more often were hard put to defend their own line. Individual instances of brilliant play were frequent, but the gime ended without any alteration of scores.
