LONDON, December 29.

The-.New Zealand Army Rugby team beat Guy's Hospital by 33, points to 3. The Army side was, much heavier and faster and its' marking and tackling were so closeand resolute that Guy's were rarelyseen attacking. The New Zealand-, ers gave the hospital team little lati-. tude and hemmed them in their own, half most of the time. The New Zealander G. King was absent for the greater part of the match through an injury. Tindill was at his brilliant best at half-back and paved the. way for most of the tries. . He also got one himself and converted one of Solqmon's two1 tries. Parane, the left wing-three-, quarter, showed surprising speed when, going for the line, which he crossed' four times. Neighbours, at five-eighths.i often had the defence in two minds, with tricky runs. Solomon, who opened the scoring nine minutes after the start, and also McLean, Thompson, and Donoghue were the outstanding forwards. After Solomon's first try others by G. King, Parane, Neighbours, and Tindill followed at regular intervals, and the New Zealanders led 19-0 at half-time. SOLOMON'S ENTERPRISE. Parane,, whose running was a treat' to watch, then got three tries, and Solomon, who was extremely enterprising, got another, which Tindill converted,' before Guy's scored a penalty goal. The final score fairly reflects the allround cleverness of the New Zealanders, who improve in every match they play. The New Zealand High Commissioner, Mr. W. J. Jordan, watched the match. Another New Zealand Army team lost to Gloucester, 8-33. The New Zealanders played with determination, but never quite recovered from an inspired spell early when Gloucester built up a lead of 18 points. McKane and Brown scored tries for the New Zealanders and Erickson converted one.
