The teams were:— • * Canterbury.—H. Langley: T. Campion, J. Kavanagh; A. McAnulty, V. Smith fcartainl T. Claxton; A. Gardenbroek, Feenstra, K. Olley, P. Saunderson, W. Otago.—J. Stephenson; W. Westerveld, T. Gilchrist: G. Scott. A. Robertson, J Johnston: W. Flaws. G. Roddy. W. Berrv W. Williams (captain). A. Patton. The Play Canterbury kicked off, and attack and counter-attack occupied the first few minutes of play. Then Johnston secured and slipped the ball to Berry, who flashed through ’an opening before passing to Patton, who slipped between the backs and scored. Canterbury Attacked, and I when Feenstra and McAnulty broke through, Gardenbroek took the pass and I sent the ball to Olley, who brilliantly ilv, aded “ mto the net. Gardenbroek and Olley, were again prominent for Canterbury, and then Berry and Patton were almost through, but the shot was outside the post. Flaws missed after a corner by Patton, and a little later Williams missed from a favourable position. Canterbury attacked again, and first Logan and then Feenstra put the ball over the net. At half-time the score was still Otago 1, Canterbury 1. - Otago attacked on the resumption of play, and after Patton had bested Campion, Berry took the centre ’and rapped it into the net off the post. Canterbury fought back, and from a perfect place- 1 ment by Feenstra, Olley once again ■ headed the ball past Stephenson. Kav- ’ anagh was prominent in stemming further raids by Berry, Williams, and Patton, but ; Canterbury, with Saunderson, Logan, and McAnulty prominent, took play back. . Claxton, Logan, and Saunderson next i figured in another attack, and- in a hectic ] melee a hands by Westerveld allowed < Olley to score his -third goal. Canterbury < now took the initiative, but the Otago i defence held, the game ending with the score: Canterbury-3, Otago 2. < Referee: Mr W. Dick. 1 wrmniMaxi rrio

Tnere were 10 of the most promising senior colts in the Canterbury Ruddiman Cup team, but Otago was superior in every department. The Canterbury players went well enough individually, and if the same team is again chosen it should give a far better account of itself in the return match at Dunedin.

The Otago side gave one of the most mature exhibitions of cohesive football ever seen from a colts’ team at English Park.- With such players as a basis for re P res ®ntative teams, Otago has little to fear for the future of the code there. Every man was a specialist in a smoothly-functioning unit. Outstanding were O. Bowie, in goal; W. Wray, left back; R. Larkins, left half; W. Boardman, outside right; T. Flaws, inside right; and P. Hay, centre forward. Canterbury retrieved some of its reputation by sure tackling, M. Weld P. Flynn, and P. Fletcher standing out in defence. The forwards were disappointing, although B- Newsome, and J. Price, on the wings, and P. Cole, inside left, showed thrust. Cole, in particular, went well, and attempted to put some stiffness in a line that lacked understanding. P. Hay (3), W. Boardman, T. Flaws, and R. Larkins scored for Otago. M. Wild scored two penalty goals for Canterbury, and B. Newsome scored a goal. Referee: Mr J. Davidson.
