STILL UNBEATEN.
NEW ZEALAND SCHOOLBOYS. TAYLOR AND YEOMAN SHINE. MELBOURNE, September L The New Zealand schoolboys' Soccer team was too clever for the Melbourne schools' representatives to-day, the visitors winning by six goals to nil. Features of the match were the fine defence of Taylor, the brilliant anticipation shown by Yeoman and the uraelfisti method of the team as a whole. The New Zeal&nders scored five minutes after the start, Yeoman nicely judging a perfeotly-placed free-kick and heading past the goalkeeper. Taylor scored shortly afterwards, and Yeoman, who was a tower of strength in the front line, added three goals, and instrumental in passing the ball to Olarke, who scored the sixth goal. The most prominent players in the New Zealand team were Taylor, Shannahan, Yeoman and Singer.
The New Zealand schoolboys' team has had a remarkably successful tour to date. The three games played in New South Wales were won by convincing margins, and the match against Melbourne brings the team's goals for to 19, while only one lias been registered against. The New Zealanders have to play two more games in Melbourne and three in Queensland.
