In their thirteenth game this year ’Varsity A were not unlucky, for the Students beat Pirates by a large score. Kaikorai, with only one loss, is in second place, and tho championship for 1928 will be contested between the hill team and the Students. The following table shows the relative positions of the senior teams:—

’VARSITY A v. PIRATES. ’Varsity A boat Pirates decisively by 24 to 7 at Carisbrook, where about 3,000 people watched the play. The Students’ were too clever and fast for their opponents, and secured many points as the result o_f the mistakes of the other side. While Pirates’ forwards played splendidly, their backs failed badly to connect. The teams were:— University A: Stevenson, Wallis, Nicolson, M'Ciymont, Haughton, Bratlonavich, Holden, Douglas, Hondra, A liken, Henley, Dunne, Gray, .Martin, and Morete.

Pirates: Clicyno, Graham, Faulks, Fraser, Giles, Mardou, Ball, _ Hook, Lawless. Jolly, Smith, Clark, Glcndhiing, Gilkison, and blurring. A break-away by Brian Dunne, who dribbled well, was the first incident, Pirates bringing up the attack about tho twenty-iivo. ’ Varsity bricks got going from a scrum, but Wallis tailed to take his pass, Pirates then making the play. .At the end of some passing, Graham was grassed, and in another bout Giles made a good but unsuccessful attempt to pot. A free kick to riic Students brought up another firates’ attack. So far Pirates were getting most of the ball, but tho passing was not good enough to take them jar. ’Varsity, however, opened the scoring. Holden sent' Bradonovdch away from a scrum near halfway, aid the five-eigth cut in nicely and sent to Wallis, who, after a strong run,evaded a tackle by Choyue ,and scored at tho corner. Stevenson converted ivuii a fine kjek. ’Varsity 5, Pirates 0. Only throe minutes later Varsity had scored again. From a scrum Holden fooled the opposition oadly, and sent hr backs away, Wallis iga.n scoring at the end of some good passing. Stevenson failed to get his kick in, -’Varsitv 8, Pirates 0. It was a fairly even tussle between tho forwards, but the Students backs were always far more dangerous than those of the opposition. A thrust by the Pirates forwards went past tho twenty-five, but Holden, playing well, cleared. Another invasion by Pirates seemed likely toend success!ally, but Holden was again there to save the situation. The half-back also distinguished himself by dashing away from a scrum at hallway and cutting the defence in half. Ho threw to Bradanovicli, who was brought dowu._ Stevenson went close with a free kick. The Students were now doing most of the attacking, their showing to advantage in the loose. From a scrum ’Varsitv again started passing, which ended in Bradanovich scoring. It was a bright piece of passing, several of the backs coming round to handle the ball a second lime. Stevenson missed the kick. ’Varsity A 11, Pirates 0. Graham made a good run in a I irates attacking movement, which Had the Students hemmed within their twenty-five for three or four minutes, the Pirates forwards struggling hard to got through. Faulks opened tho score for Pirates by goalirg a free kick. ’Varsity A 11, Pirates 3. Again Pirates strove bard to got through, but attempts at passing were ragged and the defence was good. A loose Pirates forward rush was stopped in good stvle by Stevenson, who was, as usual, ‘proving a solid stumbling block in tho way of tlio attackers. Several passing bouts by Pirates failed to get through, and Ball was tackled right on the'line. A free kick to the Students cleared. Pirates, whose torwards were now asserting, had a number of good chances, but failed to combine well enough or handle cleanly. Faulks had another chance with a free kick, but went wide. . ’Varsity took a turn at attacking again, and within a minute had scored another try. Morete gave the ball, which had coin© out of tho scrum, to Holden, who fl<fw round the side, and fed Brandonovich, tho ball then going to Wallis, who ran over at the corner after’ evading Faulks and Cheyno. Stevenson missed the back, and halltime was called with tho score;— ’Varsity A 1^ Pirates J

There was an exciting piece of play right at the start of the second spell. Pirates attacked strongly, Jlnd the hacks came into play, Fraser making a strong run before being pulled down hv Stevenson. Again Pirates threw tho ball about, but Bradanovich broke in on the play, and started a movement which changed the scene of dramatically. Morote, Haughton, Nicolson, and Wallis handled in turn, the last-named recovering bis pass at half-way, and running lor the line. Choyno and Faulks endeavoured to catch him, but the ’Varsity man’s speed took him there to score Stevenson converted. ’Varsity A 19, Pirates 3. Pirates’ forwards were still in tne ascendancy, but their backs could not combine well enough to take advantage of the opportunities offering. lime after time tho ball came out of the scrum to Pirates, but there was always that fatal pause to bring the opposition down on them. Often tho Students would turn defence into attack. Pirates’ forwards continued to make the play, and there were som exciting scrummages. Again Pirates got the ball, hut again the backs failed to handle well Prom a scrum right in front of the post the hall came to Giles, who potted a good goal. ’Varsity A 19, - The game was not so bright as in the first half Pirates continued to get most of possession, but still tnuea lamentably to' do anything with the hall. Moreto was injured and went oft, an,-emergency replacing him. With tne exception of an occasional break-away by the Students, Pirates did most of tne attack, their forwaras working strenuously. Dunne was hurt and went oft. Faulks had a shot with .. free kick in a good position, but went wide. Pirates resumed tho attack, Holden saving twice in succession. A Pirates forward forced his way through to near the line, but his pass to Graham went astray. Further chances were lost by

Pirates, and ’Varsity cleared, mainly through good kicks by Holden to near halfway. Graham centred, and Nicolson fielded tho ball and sent to M'Clymont, who made a determined dash for the corner, and then throw a long pass infield to Haughton, who scored. Stevenson converted, and time was called with the score: ’Varsity A 24 Pirates 7 Mr R, Watson was referee. KAIKORAI v. ALHAMBRA. A good crowd filled the grand stand at Tahuna Park whore those, old rivals, Kaikorai and Alhambra, fought out a hard but rather ragged game, which resulted in victory lor Kaikorai by 171 points to 3. Kaikorai forwards dominated the game in the first spell, but the second half was more evenly contested and less ragged than the first. Alhambra kicked off against the wind, but the Kaikorai forwards quickly set up an offensive, tho ’Bamas being busily defending for tho greater part of tho spoil, though lack of finish on the part of the Kaikorai backs prevented them from crossing the line, the scoring being made up of two penalty goals and a goal from a mark. Following play on •the Alhambra lino, the Kaikorai halfback (Hotting) lost a good chance when he failed to 'gather from a scrum, but a moment later Monk (second fiveeighths) marked a clearing kick in front and kicked a good goal. Kaikorai 3, Alhambra 0. Kaikorai forwards headed by Sountag, Clcland, and Quirk, maintained the pressure, but 11. Souter, Campbell, and Malcolm cleared the line, breaking away to near half-way. Kaikorai was getting a fair share of tho ball from the scrums, but mishandling was frequent and several likely movements broke down. Allen went off with an injured ankle and was replaced in the Kaikorai pack by Nelson. Tho Kaikorai forwards were dominating the play, which was of a ragged nature and largely devoid of incident. Bon. Callander,'the Alhambra first fiveeight, made a good run ,but was tackled and bad to bo carried oil with a badly injured ankle. King replaced him and went to centre, the other backs moving in. ■ Lloyd and Malcolm led an Alhambra forward rush to half-way, and Davis (half) sot bis backs in motion, Wilson (wing) failing to gather a low pass. Tho scene of play again changed and a free kick to Kaikorai for obstruction resulted in Roy Callander kicking a lino goal from tho touchlino about 35ytls out. Kaikorai C, Alhambra 0. The Kaikorai forwards continued to assert themselves, and Clcland was in the van of another thrust that cub into Alhambra territory. For about the first time in tho spell, the Alhambra forwards took play into tho Kaikorai twouty-fivo, but the Blue-and-backs were not to bo denied, Sonntag, Cleland. and Co shifting operations to the other end, where from a tree kick Roy Callander kicked Ids second goal. Half-time was sounded with the score: Kaikorai 9, Alhambra 0. The second spell opened with a strong Alhambra attack, the forwards _ pressing hard on the Kaikorai line until Wilson cleared. Coates (wing) dribbled along the flank and for a while the Kaikorai lino was in danger, the forwards eventually carrying play bo half-way. Play was now a little brighter, and one of the most spectacular incidents of tho match came when Laing (first fiveeighth) dribbled through from half way and the bounce favouring him, bo picked up at the twenty-five and outpaced the opposition to score a good try. Boy Callander’s kick hit the upright and bounced back. Kaikorai 12, Alhambra 0. Tho Alhambra forwards were now playing with a good deal of dash, R Souter, Campbell, and Malcolm heading a sortie to the line. Davis (halfback) nearly got over following a loose rush, Kaikorai being compelled to force. Ross (who was now playing at second five-eighth, Monk being centre), opened up Kaikorai passing from midfield, but the transfers wore all taken at the stand and little ground was gained. Coates made a good dash along the flank, but his pass in went astray. Then R. Souter, who was playing a very solid game, led tho Alhambra pack to tho line, but the Kaikorai forwards, beaded by M'Mccking, broke clear and carried play to half-way. From a free kick R. Souter kicked a fine goal, 10yds inside half-way. Kaikorai 12, Alhambra 3. Towards tiro close of the game Roy Callandc. (wing) made a good opening for Laing from half,way, tho latter outpacing the opposition to score* between the posts. Callander converted, and the game ended: — Kaikorai 17 Alhambra 3 Mr Hay was tho referee. ZINGARI v. UNION. The match between Zingari and Union was transferred from Logan Park to Montecillo, where the ground was very slippery. A strong wind, amounting at times almost to a gale, blow across the field. Tho game was played in four spells of twenty minutes each. For the most part the forwards predominated, but flashes of good back play were witnessed. Zingari kicked off with the wind slightly against them. Union were playing a hard forward game; Zingari, on ‘the other hand, attempted to open tho game up. Union were penalised repeatedly for off-side play, and this relieved the Zingari lino on frequent occasions. The tackling of both sides was poor. In the first quarter play j went up and down the field till just on the change over, when, from a scrum close to tho Zingari line, the ball went to Lurab, who scored after a tricky run. Churchill converted. Union 5, Zingari 0. The second spell was mostly in favour of Union, but again penalties kept them back. Zingari sot up a strong attack, and a penalty favoured them, but Fleming came to light with a splendid lino kick which returned play to halfway. Union camo down with a. strong forward rush, and Walsh relieved by kicking the* ball out of bounds. Zingari won the resulting serum, and the ball went to Riddell, who ran up, but was forced out at the twfenty-flve. Just on half-time Lumb dummied cleverly, bub Zingari’s defence was sound, and the spell ended without further score. - Dogged forward work, in which Ms- ' plin showed up prominently, kept Zingari on the defensive for tho greater part of the next session. The ball was very greasy, but, notwithstanding this, both teams handled it well. Zingari forwards were also playing a dashing game, and they frequently pounced on Heydon, tho Union half, before be could pass the ball out. Union nest got away cleverly. Liddell was blocked, but ho centred nicely. The bounce of the ball, however, robbed Union of a certain try. Immediately after, in a piece of tight play in front of the Zingari goal, Churchill took a mark from a knock-on and kicked an easy goal. Onion 8, Zingari 0. Zingari strove desperately to retrieve their position in the final spell, and the game was somewhat willing. The wind had dropped considerably, and Zingari were robbed of its assistance. Walsh, Zingari’s full-back, was playing an excellent game, and time and again extracted his side from danger. With three minutes to go, Zingari got away, and Oalder scored a fine try between the posts, M'Naughtoa converting.

Union 8, Zingari 6. Hard play ensued for the remainder of the spell,, but there was no further score, and the game ended:— Union # ... ... ... ... 8 Zingari ... ... ... 5 Mr J. Himburg was tho referee. DUNEDIN v. ’VARSITY B. ’Varsity B had little difficulty in defeating Dunedin on Tahuna No. 2 ground, The game opened with several determined efforts on the part of tho Dunedin players, and for a time it looked as though tho Students had as much as they could do to stem tho rushes. Still playing the 3-2-3 scrum, the ’Varsity backs saw plenty of the ball, though their style was somewhat cramped by the wing forward. Dunedin kicked off with a southerly wind at their bucks, and for some minutes kept the Students busily defending. The pressure was relieved by Byers, who raced up the line and kicked out at halfway. A few moments later Collett scored from a penalty. Dunedin 3, ’Varsity 0. A fast passing rush was then instituted amongst tho Light Blue backs, which brought the play right ’to tho Dunedin line, where Malcomi attempted a free kick, which failed. From tho twenty-five the whole of tho ’Varsity back division took part in a beautifully concerted passing movement, which culminated in Malcolm equalising tho scores. ’Varsity 3, Dunedin 3. The Dark Blues again attacked, but the Students- retaliated with equal vigour. A low pass from Horsley was intercepted by lloughan, who took iii.s side well into ’Varsity ground before being pulled down. A penalty kick for Dunedin then enabled Collett to score again. Dunedin 6, ’Varsity 3. Another sally into ’Varsity ground was made, but they were repelled and penalised in front of 'he goal, Malcolm putting the ball over. Dunedin 6, ’Varsity 6. A series of alternate scrums and short forward rushes took Dunedin past the ’Varsity twenty-five, but the pressure was relieved by means of a well-timed passing rush, which bioke down when Horsley was pushed out at the Dunedin twenty-five flag. ’Varsity opened the second spell witfi a determined attack, which resulted in a score in a tight corner, tho scorer being indiscernible. ’Varsity 9, Dunedin 6. Thsrball was then transferred to Byers, who sidc-stopped several opponents, and after a spectacular inn from halfway scored between the posts Malcolm converted. ’Varsity 12, Dunedin 6. The Tagbt Blues then attacked again and kept their opponents busy for some time, and though they wore in the Dunedin twouty-fivo area timo and again tho defence was too steady. Finally from the middle of tho field Priest secured and passed to Byers, who again scored in tho corner. Malcolm’s kick failed. ’Varsity 15, Dunedin o. .Still maintaining the best of tho game, Varsity harried their opponents, and finally Matheson found an opening and scored, Malcolm converting. ’Varsity 20, Dunedin 0. Tho Dark Blues tnen opened up an attack, but from a scrum near the corner flag Horsly set tho backs in motion, and tho pressure was relieved. Dunedin was gradually pressed back, and from a good passing movement Porterfield scored and Malcolm again converted. ’Varsity 25, Dunedin 0. At this stage Hayes received a kick on the head and was carried off. Play ended shortly after.

’Varsity Dunedin Mr L. Cameron was referee,

SOUTHERN v. TAIERI,

The Mosgiel ground was in fair condition dor the Southern-Taieri match, which, after a hurd-Uught game, resulted in a win for the Litter by 5 points to 0. Both sides missed several opportunities of scoring, but ou the run of tho play Taiori had tho best of the game. C. Lewis was absent from tho Magpies, and J. Lewis hud to leave tho field halfway through the game owing to illness. For tlic winners Bathgate, A. Scott (full-back), Souter (wing forward), and Finlaysou were the pick, while for Southern Dunns (wing forward), Carnegie, Wilson (hooker), and J. Todd (first fiveeighth) were tho best. Southern kicked off, but Brown shifted play by finding the line. The Taieri forwards wprked play to tho Whites line, where Murdoch spoilt a good chance by kicking too bard. Good combined work by the visiting forwards took play to their opponents’ twenty-five. Finlaysou and Souter were chiefly responsible in shifting play to the Magpies’ line, where the Taieri forwards kept the Whites defending for a considerable time. Fiidayson and Souter again camo airay in a passing rush, which was stopped in time by Wilson. Play continued in midfield, with neither side holding the advantage. A. Scott found the lino with a good kick, and then Bathgate picked up well and sent out to Liddlo (first five-eighth), who sent on to L. Scott, The last-named playe. made a fine.dash through, and a score seemed certain, but the Southern defence held. Wilson shifted play by heading a dribbling rush to nearly halfway, where play remained until half-time, with no score to either side

On resumption the White forwards worked play to Taieri’s line. Tho scene of action was soon changed when P.earce set his backs away and Liddle dribbled through to the line, where Findlay narrowly missed from a penalty. The Magpies returned play, and Todd (half) nearly worked his way across, but he was being well watched. Several scrambles ensued in Taieri territory, until Finlaysou changed the scene by breaking through strongly, with Dyer and L. Soott carrying en the good work to the other end of the field. A scramble ensued near the, line until Bathgate picked up cleverly to score a fine try. A. Scott converted. Taieri 5, Southern 0. vSouthorn forwards were working bet. ter together, and they bold Taieri in their own twenty-five for a considerable time. A. Scott eventually cleared by taking a good marie. The Magpies were soon back on tho scene and kept Taieri hard pressed until a free kick brought relief. Devlin had a good chance to goal, but a man got in front. Olliver, Murdoch, and Geary headed a solid Taieri forward rush, and then Pearce (half) found the lino with a good kick. Taiori forwards were attacking strongly when time was called. Taieri 5 Southern 0 Mr E. Sweet was tho referee. SECOND GRADE. Pirates A 14, Training College 3. NEXT SATURDAY'S DRAW ’Varsity A y. Dunodin. Pirates v. Kaikorai. Alhambra v. Taieri. Southern v.

The first shield match of the season was played at Christchurch to-day in dull but fine weather. Tho attendance was 13,000. South Canterbury won the toss, and following Canterbury’s kick off several lino outs took place near halfway. Pago was penalised for hanging on, and Fairbrolher missed with a kick at goal. A Canterbury passing rush aroused enthusiasm, but Chosley dropped tho pass. Aided by a strong wind, the South Canterbury forwards broke through, and tho ball wont to Scott, who was collared. Hay. Hart, Pago, and Fookes retaliated brilliantly, and Fookes was thrown out at the corner. The visitors again attacked in good style, and from a penalty Halstead sent tho ball over the bar.

Id the second spell Canterbury bad the advantage of a fierce wind, and attacked immediately, Oliver showing up. Pago tried to go through ou his own, but was grassed. South Canterbury forced. More Canterbury attacks ended in Fookes crossing, only to be called back. South countered witu a forward rush. Harris fumbled, and Canterbury forced. The South Canterbury pack, in great heart, exerted strong pressure, and the defence was severely tested. Pago, however, cleared, and play swung to the other end, Fookes just missing a. try. The visiting forwards cleared the lino. Pago sent play back, but Hart knocked on. Another rush saw Grant feint through all the opposing side to score under the posts spectacularly. Chcsloy converted.

Matches in the senior grade Cup competition wore a trille disorganised on Saturday. Clutlia was drawn to play Crescent (Kaitangata), at Balclutha, and Owaka to play Toko, at Milton, but up to Friday night it had been stated that Crescent would not bo able to fulfil the fixture with Clutha. At 10 o’clock on Saturday morning, however, Crescent notified the union secretary that they .could play. The match was not an inspiring one. The first spoil ended without score, after up-and-down field play, neither side showing finish to their movements, although Crescent had the bettei of the game. The second spell was very even, but although both sides came very near to scoring at times no score eventuated, and the match ended in a draw. Only two thirty-minute spells were played. Vickers, at fullback for Crescent, played a very safe game all through. In the second grado competition Clutha Valley and Romahapa met at Balclutha. The game presented rather good football, although the scoring was al done by the Clutha Valley team, which won by 16 points to 0. As a result the Clutha Valley team now leads in tho south side section of the second grade competition, and will meet Toko, the top team of the_ north side section, on tho 28th jnst., in order to decide the premiership. For the seren-a-sido tournament to be held at Balclutha next Saturday twenty-one senior, second grade, and third grade teams have already enIn the primary schools competition Balclutha School defeated Kaitangata School at Balclutha by 11 points to 6 points.
