Badeley and lies (Auckland) Then Olsen set the Auckland backs in motion and Prussing was only blocked a yard or two from the line.

Notes

D. Borrell, the Bay of Plenty full-back, gave a finished exhibition. His fielding was remarkable and his easy confidence when pressed was a treat. Wihapi, the young Te Puke three quarter, shaped well, and with a little more experience should develop into a player of the first flight-

Reke Rogers, who was seen for the first time on the local ground, soon established himself as a favourite with the spectators. He has a marvellous aptitude for making openings, and the Bay of Plenty victory was due in no small degree to his clever work.

The doughty Te Puke footballer, G. Gardiner, made a magnificent showing. He is playing as well as ever, and it may be noted that wlule in the Old Country he scored no less than eight tries there in a single match, as can be vouched for by a local military officer who recently returned from England.

The Bay forwards were a clinking set, and where all worked like Trojans it would be unfair to specially mention any in particular. R. Petherbridge received a nasty knock, but with characteristic gameness continued in his place right through. Hutch ings, the rover, was a thorn in the side of the opposition.

- Prussing, Lomas. and Alexander, three prominent Rugby players of Thames, made the journey to Tauranga on Saturday by special car in order to take their places in the Auckland fifteen. They are a formidable trio, and proved a tower of strength to the Auckland combination. Prussing, particularly, was conspicuous in attack and

defence

Molloy, the Auckland fullback, was severely tested, and came through the ordeal with credit.

Badeley showed good general' ship, arid again his goal kicking proved of considerable service to his team.

G. lies played his usual nippy game and was instrumental in assisting Badeley to score. How he came to be left out of the Bay fifteen is hard to understand.

McLeod (five eighth) and Olsen (half) were called on to do considerable work and discharged their obligations in a manner that gave satisfaction. The visiting forwards, with the exception of Lomas, rre all members of the Grammar Old Bov'steam. They proved themselves a real good set, although they were much lighter than their opponents. Greville was very prominent, and for his weight played \ splendid game. Lomas, Cleal and Knight were a formidable trio.

An act that wes appreciated by the players was the presentation by Mrs James, confectioner, The Strana, of a large box of "Spearmint" chewing gum to each of the teams. Needless to say good use was made by the players of the gift.

The Bay of Plenty Times competition to name the scores of the match drew 121 entries. The winner proved to be Mr W. Floyd, who gave the scores . Bay of Plenty 17, Auckland 9 — one point out.

It is stated that two of the Auckland senior teams, College Rifles and Ponsonby, intend visiting Tauranga this season. The Kusabs Cup match between T-iuranga and Te Puke is to be played on August 14.
