OLD BOYS WIN WELL.

Combination was noticeably lacking among the backs of both sides, and rarely'did the ball reach the wings. Wixon and S.

Training College,—Brush; Young, Brydeu.Kockel; Leitch, Tliuvston;' Cowan; Tehy Cleveley, Bryers, Walker, Espiner. Old Boys won the toss and Training College kicked oft' into the wind. A series of scrummages in College territory resulted in Hand picking up to score for Old Boys. W. Hawker failed to convert. 3-0 Further loose forward play allowed Binning to make an opening from which Blakeley dashed across and scored. S. Hawker missed with the kick. 6-0. A Ion" punt downfiekl by Ames once more set "the White pack in motion, and Blakeley crossed again. S. Hawker's kick went wide. 9-0.
