HOCKEY

TECH. OLD BOYS v. HIGH SCHOOL.

The game at Tonga Park was in a very dumpy condition when T.C. Old Boys met H.S. Old Boys and defeated them by 4 to 1 to win the Gilray Cup for the 1934 -season.

School opened the attack, and were soon rewarded for their efforts when Gurr netted to open the scoring. School 1, Technical 0. Technical now took their turn at attack, and following a corner L. Silver equalised with a good shot. Play was very ragged throughout the spell,, and both sides were continually being caught off-side. The spell ended without further score. Technical 1, School 1. From the opening bully Technical went away, but were sent back, and School gained a twenty-five. Technical defence was sou- :1, however, and after a neat passing n, vement by Technical forwards G. Silver put his side, in the lead.

Following a spell of midfield play Technical forwards again broke through the defence, and ..Grant went right in to increase the score with a hot shot. Technical 3, School 1. . School now pressed strongly, but Butler (Technical centre half) cleared well, and a penalty bully was given against School. Obstruction during the 'nilly gave Technical a penalty goal. Technical 4 School 1. School continued to fight hard to score, but the defence was sound, and time came without further score. Messrs C. Sew Hoy and W. M‘Queen controlled. SECOND GRADE.

CYCLING

CHALLENGE GUP TO D. BURNETT Under ideal cycling conditions, the Dunedin Amateur Cycling Club held its fourth annual race from Milton to Green Island for the Harrison Challenge Cup, which was won by D. Burnett in a field of eleven starters. The winner rode a great race on\ his own from the limit, and won comfortably by three minutes ■' from R. Sivertsen, who won the twenty-mile race last week from Green Island to Allanton and back. To-day’s race was over a distance of thirty-one miles, and fastest tinie (Ih 19miu SOsec) was gained by D. M'Callum, who rode from the scratch mark.. The first rider (D. Burnett) was sent away at 2.56, being followed at intervals until the scratch bunch, consisting of M'Callum, Gilchrist, atid Lucas, were despatched llmin later. At Clarendon, Homer was forced 'to withdraw on account of a puncture, and at this stage M'Callum broke up the scratch bunch, going away on his own in an endeavour to catch Ralston and A. Fletcher Coming into Waihola, E. Fletcher, with Ralston and A. Fletcher, last year’s winner of the race, dropped his co-marker, Laws, and, at this stage seemed as though he would repeat last year’s performance. At Henley, Sivertsen had gained SOsec on Burnett, who was sailing along in steady fashion. Then came Mundy, followed one minute later by E. Fletcher together, six minutes behind Burnett. Less than two minutes later M'Callum, who was pedalling at a furious pace, and looked like making fastest time < Laws pulled out at Henley,' after riding a disappointing race. Coming up Saddle Hill, Burnett still maintained a good lead over Sivertsen, who was showing signs of tiredness, and, going over the top, was passed by Mundy, wdio rode his best race to date, to fill second place. Through Fairfield, Ralston and A. Fletcher improved their position, and m a good finish the former headed, Fletcher by a length to fill fourth piaee, 45sec behind Sivertsen. Results;— D.
