BY 10 POINTS TO 9
(Per Press Association) Stratford, Sept. 5
The score of 10 pants to 9 in. Canterbury’s favour in the match against Taranaki (indicated pretty fairly the merits of the teams. The visitors fielded a good set of backs, who showed that they would be dangerous if they got away, but they were well marked and could only show flashes iof crisp play. However, they lplayed good Rugby and marks off the toe by Karris were very lielp•ifnl to his side. The home backs were not brilliant as a. combination, but showed up very well with individual efforts.
The visitors had most of the ball having a slight advantage in the set scrums, but in the open play, the. vanguard were . fairly evenly matched. The visiting backs all worked well and Scrimshaw, the rover, was always in the picture. For the winners, Hart, and Scrimshaw’ scored and Mulian and Merritt converted. For Taranaki, Collins kicked two .penalty goals and Guy scored •an unconverted try.
