The eastern forwards early assumed the aggressive and reached the Tauranga area. From a scrum Rewiti set bis backs going, the ball reaching Tau, who made a dash and was collared by Don. Tapeta led another attack on the Tauranga citadel and R. Stewart dribbled across, for Don to force. Rangataua work- y ed back to the Tauranga salient and delivered a strong thrust in the north-eastern corner, Munro, Moorhouse and Rennett relieving by a concerted footwork movement.

The ball rolled across the goal line, , but lies sprinted and forced down. The Tauranga forwards-Pearcey, Moorhouse and Mason in the vanbunched and drove back to the Rangataua area. Rewiti cleared with a 1 powerful punt, which was well re- ! turned by Don, G. lies then sec- 1 ured and made an effective run, oh-" abling Tauranga to launch a strong • attack. The assailants were Readied by an infringement, and Rewiti relieved the pressure with a powerful kick. Even play followed in neutral ground and then the whistle sounded for the change over. The Rangataua forwards invaded Tauranga’s territory arid by the aid of Bell, Ririnui, Tapeta and Stew* ' art got within striking distance in the north-western angle. A.chance to ecore seemed at hand, but the Tauranga forwards held on tena*, cionsly and a little later a free kick enabled Munro to lift the leather, and send it spinning to the other end. Moorhouse and hia colleagues* swept up in a surging rush, but pretty footwork by R. Stewart checked the assault. A good tackle, on the part of Jordan steadied Tau in a dash down the side line. A co-ordinated movement led by Muu* ro and Moorhouse, enabled the Xp* ranga vanguard to drive back, but the Rangataua backs equalised matters with a pretty passing run. Shortly afterwards, Rangihiroa, a speedy three-quarter with plenty , of weight, made a good attempt to goal from a penalty. Tight pl“y followed, in which. Tauranga held their own against their doughty op*. 1 ponenta. Pearcey, Moorhouse, Rennett and Munro, by means of a co- ordiuated effort, shattered tk defence, but the whistle sounded for a breach of the rules, and RewAl cleared with one of his powerfu punts. Determined play on the line followed; those conspicuous being Rennett, Pearcey, Moorhouse and Mason, fog Tauranga, and fapeta, Nathan, Ririnui and R. Stew art for the eastern team. Ranga-, taua, by a clover forward movement worked into a good position to strike but the design was foiled by a well,? judged kick to the side line by IE Clark, Sparkling play by Jordan, l} eS and Moorhouse carried play deep into Rangataua’.s territory, Tau saving with a quick punt to touch. When the ball came in Pearcey secured and made a splendid opening by feinting past several opponents. He the ntransferred to lies, and the latter made thes finest run of til® day. Travelling at top speed Res ran for the south-western cornet and was collared right on the goal line. Tauranga attacked with vint and from a line out the forwards pushed across, but a local man got off-side and a- penalty gave Rewiti full opportunity to clear. Halftime then sounded.
