In the first half Southland had the best of the game, their heavy forwards at times dominating play, but they did not finish up' their movements, and several chances to score were not availed of. Bell (.Southland), of whom much was expected, was starved, while Walshe was only fair at half, and Ottrey was disappointing. The forwards played with plenty of dash, and considering their weight were a.very fast pack. Alley, Hazlett and Burt' were the pick of a fine lot, and the former was voted the best forward on .the ground. Johnson played the beat back game for the winners. Nlcholls did not play up to his usual form. Svenson and Bedell both made the most of their opportunities when the ball came their way. Tllyard was poor. The diminutive Warwick was in the thick of it. Thomas, Mfttheson, Young and Sly were the most prominent of the Wellington forwards. Mackenzie, at wing forward, made a promising debut in representative football.

In the first half, Ottrey worked the blind side and Murray took a pass And scored. The kick went wide. This was the visitors' only score. From fine passing by Warwick, Nlcholls, Svenson, Nlchblls and Warwick ended in a score by Warwick, and Nlcholls converted. Some vigorous play followed. Bedell, Svenson, Nlcholls and Warwick participated in attacking movements. Nlcholls having some shots at goal, and eventually he put one over. Southland forwards played excellent Rugby.' and came down field with considerable dash. Svenson, Warwick, Nicholls and Bedell were prominent at times, .and Svenson secured and sent to Walters near the visitors' line, and the Wellington full back scored., Nicholls' kick just failed. After give and Take play an illegal,- tackle by the visitors gave Nicholls a." chance, and he landed a flr.e goal. The Wellington forwards then displayed more dash, and had the visitors guessing for a period. In a gaiu'ral scramble Thomas picked up, dived over, and Nicholls go*led. The final score at the end of a hard-fought game was 19-3.
