HAWERA I. v. WAIMATE I.

} T-imate won hy default. Hawera dia not send out a team, nor did it advise its opponents of its intetftipn until just before the time appointed, with the result that many Waknate supporters were prevented from corning to Hawera to see the junior match. Their failing is much to be regretted, because it robs the opposing team of a match when it is keen to get all the practice possible, m view of the deciding match with the leading team from the northern end. It is also not tbe game to forfeit a fixture, on the mere assumption that the result will not affect the result of the championship.
