The “Sunday Times’” says that the New Zealanders had much the worse, of the first half, but an all-round improvement brought victory. The All Blacks were clearly outplayed behind the scrum in the first half, but only fearless tackling by the backs prevented Aldershot- scoring. Bonner got over wide' out for the New Zealanders just beiore the 'iiterval for a try which was quite against the run of the play.
The New Zealanders then showed real form, putting Aldershot on the defensive for long perious. 1 indill, the scrum-half, scored a magnificent try, darting from the scrum and running hard and straight, after selling the “dummy.” A clever hand-off carried him over, when tackled a yard from the line. Peterson converted.
