RENOWN DEFEATS WELLINGTON.
Superior physical condition, combined with better tactics, enabled an Assiociation football team from H.M.S. Renown to defeat a- Wellington representative team at, Athletic Park on Saturday. The teams.took the field as follows:— H.M.S. Renown.—J. Taylor; Lamb and It-lbot: Jones, W. Taylor, and Watts; Bartholomew, Seymour, Breeze, Ball, and Milis. ■ - ■ . . Wellington.—Tarrant; Gibb and WCtiit; Thomas, M'Kee, and Burke; Barton. ir-Elligott, M'Leod, C. Balland, and Cudby. In the early stages of the game the Renown gave displays of clever footwork, and the combined play by the team resulted in some bright movements. Wellington, as was only to be expected, lacked training, and could not come up to the standard of'their opponents. The Renown's first goal came from Watts, and before half-time the visitors Bcored again, this time from a ■ corner, placed by Bartholomew and sent into the next by Breeze.' In- the second' spell the visitors had command of the game. Wellington could not break through their defence; and Breeze scored again, .the ■■ Renown winning 30. Mr. E.-Ormrod.was the referee.
