N.Z. SOCCER TEAM.
BEATEN IN FIRST MATCH. THREE GOALS TO ONE. SYDNEY, May 24. At Association football, Granville, the 1923 champion club, defeated the New Zealand team by three goals to one. The visitors were first to score as the result of a penalty for handling, Kissock finding the net. Granville for the major portion of the first half stormed the New Zealand goal. Burke scored a goal from a penalty through Braithwaite handling, and Fairweather netted another from a penalty for an illegal charge. Play in the second spell was more evenly balanced, though Glanville attacked more frequently than did the New Zealanders. Watson drew Craxton from the mouth of the goal, and Winter netted the ball before the New Zealand goalkeeper could regain his position. Campbell shortly afterwards bustled the ball through the Granville goal, but the score was disallowed owing to illegal interference. There was no further score.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
