Faulty Handling. Th>; game was not by any means a i iilliant exhibition, and poor handling iiv both sides in turn, and especially home team, marred many of the rearguard movements which have pro- . i' ! cd high lights in the other reprentativf; games this season. There v-crc individual exceptions to this ■ harge, and South Canterbury's back >"!"biitntiou improved as the match on. The breakdown of a great ■ 'i.ber ot* the home team's attempts • . /.•«.•« up the game was attributable hi jjn-at part to a lack of co-ordina-■"j n between the half-back and the *ist live-eighths, Day taking most of 'iodgiunton's passes flat-fpoted, and on riany occasions could riot even reach ;h iu at all. This was in spite of the i.h t that Canterbury, in the earlier of the game especially, saw a fair -hare of the ball from the set scrums. Forwards Beaten. The Canterbury pack was soundly ■■'•ateii in nearly all departments, and he visitors' speed and combination v.ore th j features of the game. A very -olid lot, the Green and Black forwards worked wonderfully in tight and loose, and by wheeling {he scrum consistently often nullified Canterbury's esicipn't l.'ioking. Their scrum was better balanced and much more compact, although it has to bo admitted that in the second half some of the looseness lhat was evident in the home forwards? jmeking in the first half was nqt sq apparent. It was hard to individualise en the day's play, s|nce it was usually the ease that four or live Green and niack packmen would be constantly gn the ball and quick to seize an oppefT t-inity to rake Canterbury's with splendid loose forays. G. Gjd-: dings was many times outstanding in rolo dashes from the ruck, and worked hard in tho tight, too. Othfers pariipur J irly In evidence in tjie . last were li. Seaton, a liig felJow with pfiec initiative; F. Shewan, a really :.;<rd worker; D. Callanan, constantly up with play; and G. A<Jk?ns, who 'died' ceaselessly in the tight work. V.'. Duke locked the scrum very well. The Canterbury pack could not Btay the distance. At least they could not do 'so at the pace set by tfie visiting -prt»k and held right up to the final whistle. The balance of the scrum wa§ .ill wrong and it was slow to break tip .•Mid assist the backs in defence. Mjipehester's play Mas the exception, and ■wherever the fray was thickest the big Christchurch forward was to be seen. A •feature of his play, top, was Jiis adaptaidlity and many were tho occasions when he opened up the play for the liacks. W. Thompson played a rattling gaine until he had to discontinue after halftime owing to an injury received in MTiiring a try earlier in tin? match, and K. Kearney, of Merivale, who replaced him, played a better game than* most of the others in the pack. A Good Wing-forward.

Ujxj forward on the Canterbury side >;> lighted the crowd. lie w?is A. H. Andrews, of 'Varsity, the wing-forward. J [pre, there, aud everywhere on attack and defence he did three men's work all <<;iy. and Canterbury was given many • ['portunities us ;j result of his foraging. I lis following up fully deserved the applause which it drew £rpii> tjte crowd fiu many occasions, pud he toak a very active part in securing PS O ' 1 9? t-I} o home side's tries. In the .second one he made a magnificent opepiflg for P-IJ* and Oliver. Erratic Backs. Kach of the rearguards failed to play up to provincial standard, and individual efforts had to be relied on in tlie main to make openings and follow up ; ||<; advantages so gained. On tlio Canterbury side Day was never at home against Strang, and his general f]}sr .-omfiture was supplemented by the fact ■ •£ his not being aide to rely on good passing from Hocjgjiinsoii. However, liis tackUug was W and siire. 0. Oliver was as brilliant as ever ib what might b» called adversity. On defence he was j do treed, and the little chance he had to ' •it tack he used to adsantage. There is no doubt that the Merivale five-eighth j " right at the top Of his form at pros- | ~,i and qn Haturdnys k jw i sefi'i cortfun to !•"' coi»sMeiv.d | i„r'the tfv<i-eighth..po6ifcions i« ,he I via nd *i»U. <">f !v<?ra tr -- 1 ■ -

buret from halfway following Andrews's opening was the thrill of the match. Inues was safe, but had 110 opportunities, and Brown and Hart on tin: wings might as well have been at the trotti g meeting as far as the inside raou were concerned. Both, however, made several fine individual efforts. Edmonds at full-back was erratic and disappointing. On some occasions his lapses may have been excusable but ou many, when not very hard pressed, he fumbled and left Canterbury in awkward and dangerous positions. A. Provan, the visitor's hall, and . A. Strang, at first five-eighth, were the pivots of the South Canterbury back attacks, and there was a good understanding between the two. .If Gonley, outside Strang, had not been so well marked by Oliver and Andrews the southern team's attack might Ikm e been even more dangerous than it was, since the three-quarter line, on the few occasions provided, proved that it was ljuite a formidable combination. Gonley showed plenty of initiative but _ t'reouentlv spoiled movements by trying a, cut through that he seemed to favour "rcatlv. it was not successful at any stage 'and was the means of bringing to nought many promising movements started by Strang. Strang's Generalship. In regard to Strang's generalship, it has to be admitted that it. played a large part in South Canterbury's victory. The All Black retains his speed off "the mark and, varying his tactics, ul'tevi made penetrative thrusts betore hauding on to the outside men. His scissors with Provan to veer the attack round the blind side was very neatly executed and worried Canterbury a In the second halt it was Strang's judicious and lengthy line-kicking which enabled the Green and Blacks to maintain a steady pressure iu foreign, territorv. . Of the three-quarters A. Gaflanev at centre and T. Morrison were the best. At full-back B. Connolly did everything that was expected of him, and was a favourite with t.he crowd right fiom start to finish. Mis lucking was wonderfully accurate, and his handling well-nigh perfect. Only once was he overwhelmed and 011 that occasion Canterbury Keored .from the resulting scramble. Canterbury has not. put; a full-back into the field this season to equal him. The Teams.

THE PLAY. South Canterbury kicked oft' towards the pavilion end and Canterbury was the first tQ launch an attack from a melee in midfield. Hart snapped tho ball up and raced xouud Uis nisiu swerving j beautifully. He passed infield to Hodgr kinson, but the half was hauled down a few yards short of the goal-line. A free kick to South Canterbury relieved the situation. The visitors' forwards burst through the ruck in their own twenty-five and came right up to ii.umonds. The full-back mishandled bauly and it was Canterbury 's turn to have an anxious moment. In turn, a penalty kick gave relief. South Canterbury were not to be held at bay for very lojig though. The scrum was wheeled, and four Green men brushed Hodgkinson aside, and dribbled through to Canterbury's twenty-five. Edmonds secured, but fumbled, and then stumbled, and before lie could recover the whole of the South Canterbury pack was on him. tu a magnificent rush the Canterbury defence was smashed and in a meleo right on the line McDonald dived over for a good try. Strang missed the kick. South Canterbury •• 3 Canterbury . • • • 0 Canterbury secured an attack!•"» position again "following a free kick, Edmonds gaining JO yards with it. Deep in the visitors' territory Andrews was round like a flash, and Provan and t-hes ball were parted. Connolly camo up to save brilliantly as he was tackled byAndrews.

The big forward made a grand dash but. was well-tackled by Goule.v from behind when a pass to Brown on the wing, who was supporting him, would have made things interesting. Connolly was caught when he fumbled and Andrews was afa in 011 the scene at an amazing pace, ifowever a knock-on by a Canterbury forward 'lost the chance. Hodgkinson, Oliver, and Hay had a snappy passing rush 011 their own and it penetrated to inside the Green's twenty-ljvc. Andrews was again prominent in the following movement, and his dash paved the way for a score for Canterbury. Andrews swept through and passed Gaffaney and then kicked past Connolly over 1110 line. He was brought down himself but Thompson dived on the ball for a good try. He was hurt iu scoring. Though the'kick was in front of the pO!-ts VA1110nils t ailed to com en. South Canterbury ..

South Canterbury at lacked strongly and drews made a splendid iuteicept- ol a pass from Provan. He was called back for being off-side, and the "bankers'-' expressed then disapproval. Pake mi.sed the kick, limes sent; the Greens back to half-vvav again with a lovely line kick. Edmonds at this stage was called upon frequently and seemed to seitied dona a litlu bill. hull erratic. Twice, however, he earned the applause for very long linc-linders. South Canterbury spent, two minutes dt•fence held and Ana'ws and Brown were associated in a tine clearing rush. Counollv was hard put tu it to clear from a'high punt by Brown, and an awkward bounce, but. in the scramble Canterbury knockcd-on and another chance was thrown away by bad handling. llodgkinson sent Oliver away 0:1 the blind side and in an electntymg effort the Canterbury captain was hurled out over the corner tlag. Adkins and Giddings led a counter at lack which Uav halted with a clever punt to the line. Canterbury had returned to the attack when half-time sounded.

Kearney, who had replaced 1 hoitipson in this half, was very prominent in a forward rush, and Canterbury was enabled as a result to attack wit-.nn five yards of the Greens' line. Canteibury" hooked cleanly and Hodgkinson foolishly tried to go over on his own account. He was overwhelmed, ami South Canterbury cleared to the twentylive line. There Edmonds was given an easy chance from a penalty but lus attempt was a poor one. Canterbury at this stage began to show a little more life in the lonvaidb and Cottrell and Sweeney led a good rush, but, Strang was very .sate, anti maintained the pressure by long line kicks well into Canterbury a tcrntorj. It was desperato defence only that was saving the home side, which w-as completely disorganised both back and lorward. Twice the; visitors were almost across once, llart saving with a tackle and then lnnes Hashed across to hurl Gaffaney over the comer flag when a try seemed certain. C'ottrell, Manchester, and Kearne> led a counter-assault, and cleared to hiif-wav. There Strang had a long shot at "goal which just fell short. (.Hidings wqfl prominent in the lollowmg plav, and he split the detente with a great dash before he passed, to Morrison. Hart saved, but South Canterburv were awarded a free kick right in front of the posts and 10 yards from the line, and Strang kicked an easy goal.

South Canterbury .. '■> Canterbury - - • • llodgkinson and Jlrowr made. a dash on the blind side, but Connolly was safe and made jio mistake in taking the 'flying winger. Then a. moment later, in the face of a, rusli by Manchester r.nd Cottrell, the visitors' fullhack saved cleverly. All the South Canterbury backs handled in the next rush, but it was cross-lield, and did not penetrate very far. Fast play in front oi' Canterbury's goal was liercely contested, and Morrison's pot shot at goal ,jui.t missed. At last Strang veered round on to the blind side and (n.ide a pretty opening for Gaffauey. The centre ran straight and hard and at fnnes passed to Morrison. The winger crashed over in the corner through Hart's lackle for a good try. Duke did riot convert. South Canterbury .. 12 Canterbury e Canterbury showed something of its form in earlier matches in a pretty passing bout in the backs, and the last reverse seemed to have revived the (lagging spirits. Oliver started a. rush and then came in again on the outside to put Canterbury on the attack. Connolly cleared splendidly. Then, with Canterbury pressing hotly, llodgkinson and Day were all at sea as far as any combination was concerned. Twice in fctriking distance of the goal line llodgkinson's passes went yards behind Day. South Canterbury cleared to past half-way. Suddenly came the thrill ot. the match. Andrews, who had been toiling like a Trojan all day, beat Provan for i)?e ball and burst Strang's tackle. He raced ou through the South Canterbury baekH to Connolly. He then threw a high pass over Gouley's head to Day. Day sent to Oliver just at tho half; way line, a#l the captain sped for the north-east corner.

There was a keen and enthusiastic crowd present at English Park to witness the Chathnm Cup match between the Canterbury and Westland tinalists. In their first contest played at Greymouth. Nomads levelled tip the scores iu the last few minutes of an extra, half-hour's spell, and Dobson were rather unlucky to lose. The score on that occasion was five goals all-: —a phenomenal tally iu such a contest. On Saturday thero was no score at the end of ninety minutes' play. During the extra spells Jiomads registered a goal and thus qualified to meet' fe'e'sclifl' (DunediiO in the South Island final. On the day the visitors were decidedly the better team, and were at Jea&t worthy of i* draw. Ab a curtain-raiser to the big match Bangers met Thistle in the competition series, Bangers beat the Scots by 8 goals to 1. The points were shared in the Marist-New Brighton clash with a score of two goals all. NQMADd (1), DOBSON (0). Following their match at Greymouth a fortnight ago, which was drown, after extra time, with a score of Jive goals all. Dobson engaged Nomads in tho reply at English I'ark. The visitors brought with them a good following of spectatprj, and the crowd wag ari enthusiastic on§. The ground was dry and fast, wtih a slight breeze blowing towards the school-end goal. The teams were::— Dobson (Gold aiid Black)— Goal, V. Mitchell; full-backs, VT. Kin;, D. Erskine; halfbacks, P. Marshall, J. Berry (captain), A. White; forwards, W. White, W. Wilson, J. Richardson, N. Short, H. Coutts. Nomads (Blue) —Goal, h. Sharr; fullbacks, AV. Clhaplin, J. Streeter; half-baeks, V. Adams, C. Pickup, J. Thompson; forwards, 0. Sharr C. Goode, I", Smith, M. Wilson, A. Taylor. Nomads won tho toss and elected to defend the scholo-end goal. The Blues early invaded Dobson territory, and it speculator by Pickup brought Mitchell into action to clear. From A. White's service Dobson broke away down the centre. Richardson sent out tcl W. «hite. but the winder shot wide. In a further Dobson raid Berry placed down the centre. Chaplin failed to plear, and Richard: son slammed in a high shot which £.. Sharr pulled down. King and Erskine blocked a determined Nomads raid and then, from i> faulty pass by Adams, the visitors raided on the left. Coutts slung over tq for Streoter to make a risky though effective clearance. Both teams were playing fast, and open football. A further Dobson raid produced a lively meleo in Nomads' goal. Chaplin and Thompson averted danger. The visitors were ['jaying a snappy combined game, but, their shooting was rather wild. Norn,ads were hard preesed to repulse a brace' '«(! eoruera to 'Dotisoh.

Iu a further Dobson raid W. \Vhite again shot wildly when well placed. At the other end, from a dropping shot to go;il by M. Wilson, Mitchell snapped np and cleared under pressurd iSnappy play by Marshall opened .1 Dobfou attack. W. Wilson crossed to goal for Coutts to rap the upright from close in. Pickup cleared. Dobson were the more dangerous in following play, but the Nomads' defence was great. Nomads took a turn when Adams seiit G. Sliarr away on t(ie right. Froih the winger's centre Smith dummied for Goode. but the latter shot over the crossbar. A moment later Smith raced through, but Erskine got up just in time to charge the Nomads' centre off the hall. At the other end Ij. Sharr turned over the cross-bar a rising shot from Richardson. Nomads' turn camp when a long shot by Pickup had Mileholl extended to clear, with 0. Sharr and Good® right up. The p ara e was full ol' thrills at this stage, with each goal alternately under pressure. Play was at half? way when full-time was called with no score. Estra time was played, and in the first spell W. Wilson scored for Dobson. He was doubtfully ruled off-side, and the referee's decision was responsible for a hostile demonstration from the visiting spectators. Shortly afterwards, in a Noraads' raid, Adams placed a long shot. Mitchell fended out, but Smith jumped in to score. Nomads 1, Dobson 0. A free-kick to the visitors .iiist outside the penualty area looked dangerous, but Pickup cleared. In the second spell the visitors battled hard for the equaliser, but the Nomads' defence held. Time was called with the score; Nomads 1. Dobson 0. Ke ; fere«, Mr J. Cawtheray. HUNGERS (3) v. THISTLE (1).
