WIN FOR UNIVERSITY

Played at Kelburn Park, the match between . Berhampore and University resulted in a win for the latter team by 14 points to 8. ; Apart from one or. two spectacular movements by the University backs, the- general run of the play was ragged. Berhampore.»opened the game with a strong attack by their, forwards, and within .a minute or two had practically broken the. University defence. Their backs, however, were unable' to handle the ball and they were^ unable to score. A free kick near the sideline resulted in Knudson kicking a fine penalty goal. An unconverted try for University brought the scores le^el at half-time. . :

Although the Berhampore forwards made great efforts during the second spell the ground they gained was not taken advantage of by their backs, whose passing was very poor: The University backs; on the other hand, were well organised and carried out a series of passing rushes which resulted in several tries.

. After Knudson, had registered the first score for Berhampore by way- of a penalty goal, University commenced a series of passing'rushes and forced Berhampore into their own twenty-five. Tw6 penalty kicks were missed by Cormack and Ruru, but just before half-time Edtrards picked up at mid-field and after making an opening transferred to Kaue, who crossed to score an unconverted try. University forced the pace in the second half, and it was not long before their, backs broke-away in a fine rush.

The ball went right across the field to Hislopi who swerved through the Berhampore -backs, making an opening for Kane to score an unconverted try. Another, spectacular rush started hy Wild resulted in Hart, scoring another unconverted try for University.' A try by Beaumont, converted by Euru, brought University's total to 14,' and at the call of time McArtney scored for Berhampore after a forward-attack. Knudson converted.

Mr. C. H. Jenkins was the referee.
