The home team defended the northern goal and in the first ten minutes after the bully off pressed strongly. The Blues then attacked, but the Reds saved and play returned to the centre. College then took the ball well down, but Davies relieved with a fino hit the length ot the field. Shortly after Ryburn missed a chance, but Otago had / the Reds on the defensive for a Jong spell. Piay then went to the visitors' territory, a fast run down on the right ending in the ball being centred and Gough missing the shot at goal. The Blues retaliated and give and tako play followed, neither side having much advantage. College then attacked strenuously and from a melee in front of the Blue goal Arnold scored. Two corners against the College followed and a dangerous situation was relieved just in time, play going to mid-field, i A corner followed a Blue rush, but Col- ', lege got the ball away well and a corner i against the visitors was allowed.
