TEACHERS 9 COLLEGE Christchurch Two Points Behind

"The Press" Special Service DUNEDIN, Marell 27. Dunedin scored six points to Christchurch’s four on the first day of the inter-teachers' college summer tournament today. Wins in the women’s cricket, water polo and life-saving gave Dunedin its points. while Christchurch was successful in the swimming and rowing. Rain disrupted the tennis and cricket, but it did not prevent Dunedin scoring a resounding win by an innings and 55 runs in the womens cricket.

With the two teams so evenly matched today's programme of men's and women s softball, men's cricket, tennis and athletics, is certain to produce some keen competition. A pipe band, a haka party and cheer leaders welcomed the 130 members of the Christchurch team who arrived in Dunedin on Tuesday night. Christchurch claimed the first tournament points when it won the swimming—72-55. Heading the Christchurch team were G. le Cren. D. Eaton and Miss H. Hutton,' who holds the New Zealand women's diving title. Results:— Men 100 Yards Freestyle—G. le Cren (C.) 1 D. Winefield (D.) 2. P. Hatchwell (D.) 3. Time. 57.5. 50 Yards Backstroke.—T.
