SECTION PLAY ENDED

N.Z. RINKS BOWLING riIAMPIONSHIP TOURNEY CONTINUED IN FINE WEATHER ONLY TWO SKIPS UNBEATEN * (PaKSS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) DUNEDIN, January 18. Everything is contributing toward making (he New Zealand bowling tournament one of the most successful in the association’s history. The weather today was again tine and hot, although a strong wind late in the afternoon made conditions more diflicult. The seventh and eighth rounds of the rinks produced some of the most interesting games. Only two rinks, those skipped by Vcitch (West Harbour) and Britten (Sydenham) go through to post-section play unbeaten. In one of the most interesting sections Devereux (Kaikorai) and Maddren (Opawa) had come through the first six rounds unbeaten. They met in the morning round and the result was a comfortable win for Maddren. Devereux. however, scored a convincing win in the afternoon against Oakey (Elmwood), while Mafidren lost by a fair margin to a Westport rink, skipped by Head. Both, therefore, finished sectional play with seven wins. Nelson’s Dunedin rink also met its first defeat in the seventh round, going down 16-23 to Marks (Christchurch), but the Dunedin skip won again in the afternoon. Both Vcitch and Britten appear in top form. Vcitch had two good wins to-day. beating Gardiner (Southland) 26-14 and Horton (Palmerston North) 30-18. Britten also maintained form to score well against Honcyman (Otago) and Ingram (Victoria). To-morrow's play will comprise three rounds of post-sectional games on the automatic two-life system.
