Reserves.— Backs: Chambers (Wer.), Hartley (Fx.); forwards: Maloney (Wand.), Urwin (Toko.) Poxton and Shannon Juniors will meet at the racecourse on Saturday in the Knock-out Competition and an exciting game should result. In the event of a draw when time is called, two extra spells of ten minutes each will, be played. The married v. single match played on the racecourse yesterday afternoon resulted in a win for the bachelors by 20 points to 17. The benedicts put up a strenuous fight, but the “young bloods” were a bit too nippy for them. The previous match ended in a draw.

On a muddy ground in the presence of a good crowd at Palmerston North yesterday, Napier High School drew with Palmerston North Boys’ High School in the twentyfifth annual game between the two schools. ■ The game ended 3 all, each side scoi’ed an unconverted try.

The Otago Rugby representatives defeated Manawhenua at Dunedin yesterday by 11 points (three tries, one converted) to 9 points (three unconverted tries). During the game a University student, Thomas Haughton, received injuries to the head which necessitated his removal to hospital. Stevenson replaced Westwood in the three-quarter line.
