RUGBY FOOTBALL.
WARATAHS BEAT GLOUCESTER. (BI CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION— COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN ' AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received January 2nd, 7 p.m.) LONDON, December 31. The Waratahs defeated Gloucester by 13 points to 4. In the first half Gloucester did most of the attacking, but before the interval the visitors secured a try which was converted. In the second half the Waratahs held the upper hand, playing without A. Tancred, who retired owing to an injury to a shoulder. Gloucester's bad handling was responsible for many missed chances, but nevertheless they scored a dropped goal practically on time.
The Waratahs showed more finish than their opponents, a feature of their game being fine backing up and the cooperation of the forwards in rushes.
