B-grade fixtures for next Saturday —Moa Creek to Alexandra, Lowburn to Earusclcugh, and Cromwell to Matakanui.

In the second spell Brown kicked a fine goal from well out, and again the home side missed several chances. Harold Zanders, who played his first game this season and proved as safe as ever, missed an easy goal from a mark, and Dick Treleavcn might caaily have scored a try. Cottrell was saving his side well, and he came to light in the last few minutes by pushing Ron Sutherland out at the corner flag in time to save a trv. This effort was the result of clever play by Syd Stevens and Sutherland, the latter making a bold bid to score. Mr George Campbell was a good referee.
