'The V.M.C.A. scorers in this spell were Fer--B"sson and Mead. The game was refereed by Mr. W. A. Scott. WESLEY DEFEAT HUIA. Although Wesley compiled rather a big score against,Huia at Newtown Park, this proved no indication a. to the state of the game. The game went to Wesley owing to the superior combination of their forward*, in which respect Huia were sad)^ lacking. They had plenty of opportunities to score, but their shooting wa« Pjoor, resulting in a lot of wild hitting. Wesley were six goals up to their opponents' one at the half-time spell, the scorers being Cornwall (2), Boys (2), and Burder (2) for Wesley, and Barber for Huia. Wesley increased their lead in the second spell, and the game finished 10-2 in their favour.
