CANTERBURY v. AUCKLAND. [bt tilkgbafe.— prise association. I Chbistchubch, This Dat. The Canterbury and Auokland match produoed a tough struggle yesterday. The game ended in a win for Canterbury by 10 points to nil. Neither side was able to cross the other's line, but grand place-kick-ing by Appleby, of Canterbury, enabled the local team to win by two penalty goals and one goal from a mark to nothing. The game was not very interesting. The whistle was going inoessantly, and 'sornms were plentiful. The Auokland forwards beat their opponents, but had bad luok in the first spell in playing against a Btrong nor' wester, whioh died away after the Bides had changed over. Mr. J. P. Firth, of Wellington, was referee, and had by arrangement the sole charge of the game. He was very strict, and towards the close of the plar ordered Bonayne, three-quarter baok for Auokland, off the field for continuous insulting remark*. The matoh Nelson College r. Boys' High Sohool was won by tha- Nelson College by 31 points to nil. THE ASSOCIATION TOURNAMENT. Auckland, This Dat.
