CHRIST'S COLLEGE BEATS BOYS' HIGH In a game that rose to great heights at times Christ’s College beat Christchurch Boys’ High School in the annual match yesterday by 10 points to 8. The match, played on the Straven Road Ground, was a very well contested one, and produced extremely good football throughout (says the ‘Press’). The result was in doubt until the end. The College team earned its victory by the spirited efforts of its forwards, who never let up for a moment. Though they did well in the set scrums, they excelled at coming round on the ball after a player had been tackled, and it was in this department that the High School boys were shaded. Often after a tackle the entire College pack would he on the ball, and the quick heel to the backs had the High School backs in trouble on several occasions.
