GRAND RUGBY

THE GAME OF THE SEASON. FEILDING 0.8. THE VICTORS. “Rugby at its best,” “The finest game for years” were among the expressions employed at the conclusion of the match between Feilding Okl Boys and Old Boys at the Showgrounds on Saturday for despite the heavy ground and ball the players rose to great heights and the 30 participants supplied the exceptional crowd with delightful football wherein enthusiasm ran high throughout. Feilding Old Boys emerged triumphant to register on the blacks their first reverse for the season, and while few would begrudge the visitors the laurels of victory it cannot be said but that Old Boys were deserving of sharing the championship points. At the rear of the main stand Kia j Toa carried the day against St. Patrick’s, while at Woodville a weakened United team had to submit to defeat! at the hands of the blue and blacks. Massey. College registered their first points at Johnston Park, when they defeated Feilding. THE SCORE BOARD. Senior. Feilding 0.8. 14 v. Old Boys 11. Kia,Toa 9 v. St. Patrick’s 0. Massey v. Feilding 5.

JUNIOR.

LEADERS BEATEN. IN SPARKLING DISPLAY. After being eight points down in the early stages, Feilding Old Boys squared their account before the interval and then ran into the lead after “lemons.” The local Old Boys made up the leeway only to lose by three points, the Feilding combination having the final say. The teams were : Feilding Old Boys (black and white). —-Gloyn, Aniadio, Bramwell, F. Elliott' Dewe, Finlay, Trass, Waldin, Devine, Mitchell, Adams, Wilson, Eade, C. Elliott, Knyvett. Old Boys (black). —Lang, Bradley, Ducker Buick, Tillick, Plank, Irvine, Lovelock, Louisson, R. Cutler, Henry, O'Dea, Howell, Thomas, YorttThe game opened at' a fast rate, the light black forwards displaying great dash and they went to the attack, a forward piling over without being able to ground the leather. However, from the resulting scrum the blacks heeled to Irvine, who dashed round on the blind side to dive over. Lang failed to convert. The colours piled up and Mitchell went off in possession and when tackled by Lang sent On to F. Elliott, who went over. However, the pass was forward and the scene slowly changed to safer territory. Both sides were having escapes in turn, but it was the colours who were carrying the major portion of the aggression, altliough Ducker finished off a handling bout by the blacks only for an earlier obstruction to recall them. Unperturbed, they tried again and were successful in adding a brilliant score when Tillick cut through prettily prior to sending on to Ducker. The centre swerved inwards prior to sending on to Bradley for the winger to dash over and run round Behind the posts. Lang goaled and the blacks were eight points up. A breakaway along the colours’ right wing caught the blacks out of position, but man after man went down and the advance was stemmed right on the black line. However, holding on cost a defender a penalty and Finlay was offered a “gift” three points. Feilding Old Boys went off in a sparkling handling bout, forwards and backs handling in turn, but the blacks replied in kind and to and fro the play swept. Fighting hard, Feilding Old Boys returned to the attack and a pass out saw Dewe halted just short of the line. However, he was able to get a pass away to Amadio, who took it at his finger tips to go over. Finlay brought the scores level with a nicely judged kick. The fast pace was maintained in the second half, although it was the frontal divisions who were carrying the heavy burden. Waldin broke clear to dummy his way through, but Bradley got back to halt him. However, the ball went out again and Bramwell accepted an infield pass from F. Elliott to go over wide out. The kick failed, but the colours had taken the lead. A few minutes later F. Elliott was away for another possible try, but his short punt was intercepted by Lang and a dangerous position was relieved. The blacks were striving hard to save the position, their backs operating at every opportunity and the forwards went over only for Bramwell to flash in to kick the ball into the dead-ball area, -while a movement which went right along the line saw Buick thrown into touch just short of the corner. However, the equalising try. came when Irvine sent the leather out to Plank, to Tillick, to Ducker, and the centre dashed, straight through ; to ground in good position. Lang failed with a comparatively easy kick. The blacks were forcing the issue, when a low pass to Bradley was missed and Amadio snapped the ball up to sail away, but Bradley overtook him. Devine ca.me in, only to' be grassed in turn, but the attackers gained their reward when Finlay snapped up a bad pass to send it on. A wide pass to F. Elliott was taken in his stride and the winger outpaced Lang to go over wide out. It was the final score of the match,, for, although the virile blacks fought with great dash right to the close, the final whistle found the colours retaining their liard-won three points advantage. Feilding 0.8. 14, Old Boys 11. Mr G. Cooksley was the referee. KIA TOA’S SUCCESS. NINE POINTS MARGIN. Playing a good loose bustling game against St. Patrick’s on the No. 2 Snowgrounds area, Ivia Toa accounted St. Patrick’s by nine points to nil. The teams were: Kia Toa.—R. Wasley, Strange, J. McKenzie, Simpson, Pawson, M. O’Keefe, Sutton, G. Wasley Williams, R. McKenzie, Kerrigan, Kingsbeer, I. Crawford, H. Crawford, Wilson. St Patrick’s. —Quigan, Dawick, Findlay, M. Gillespie, Madgwick, R. Gillespie, Hands, McKay, Barnao, Donohue, Lyons, Powell, L. Smith, Lane, Rush. ~ St. Patrick’s had Kia Toa on the

run in the first minute, when R. Gillespie paved the way for a rush which saw McKay race over the line in pursuit of the leather, but it rolled into the dead-ball area. Gillespie next despatched Dawick for the line, but the winger was pushed out at the corner. McKay missed goaling from three successive penalty kicks awarded St. Patrick’s. Obstruction of the Kia Toa forwards saw O’Keefe goal from a penalty. Ivia Toa kept at it, and J. McKenzie gathered in the ball to flash up the line in a spectacular run, but lost possession right on the line as he attempted to dummy his way over. With his sixth attempt to find the uprights from a penalty goal, in the second spell, McKay again missed. The St, Patrick’s forwards threatened danger when they came through in a sweeping rush, but Simpson secured and made a fast run for Kia Toa, miskicking as he nttempted to stab-punt past the full-back. J. McKenzie and Strange were associated in a bea’utiful piece of passing work which Strange finished up with a dash down the side-line to dive over in the corner. O’Keefe failed to convert. Kia Toa were now well into their stride, and the backs were throwing the ball about. It again went out to Strange, who outpaced the opposition to score again in the corner. R. McKenzie failed with a good attempt to convert. R. McKenzie, G. Wasley, J. McKenzie and Simpson nearly penetrated the St. Patrick’s defence with a concentrated effort, and finally H. Crawford forced his way over, but lost possession as he went to ground the ball. The game envied with the score unaltered at: Kia Toa 9, St. Patrick’s 0. Mr T. Woodham was the referee. UNITED v. WOODVJLLE. Surprisingly game and aggressive throughout the match, which was in most part a forward struggle, Woodville defeated .United by 6 points to 5 at Woodville. The ground was in perfect order and while at times rain threatened it was fine throughout. The teams were: Woodville (blue). Skinner, McKay, Smith, A. Burlaoe, Hayes, Smythe, Brandon, McKinlay (3), Hutchinson (2), Hayward, Walker, J. Burlaoe. United (white).—Powell, Penman, Findlay, Anderson, Apatari, Moxon, Fenton Broughton, Hart, W. Hubbard, Fenton, R. Ward, Spiers, A. Ward, Birchall. The blues won the toss and neutral ground was the scene of activities for quite a while. United’s backs handled the ball commendably at first and brilliant kicking was witnessed, but Woodville were not taking any chances. Skinner started the blues and a vigorous attack when lie found the line well in United’s territory, only to find the white forwards retaliating and bringing play back to midfield. Woodville secured the leather and quickly sent the hall to the line, but the whites got a penalty kick of which Ward did not make good use, gaining only little ground. McKay, Skinner and Burlace, passing smartly, made good progress and threatened United’s safety, but Powell was able to save. Shortly after, United were penalised and a shot at goal by Smith failed. Then Apatari was penalised for offside about 30 yards from the whites’ goal, but J. Hutchinson was unable to kick over. From a lineout the ball was kicked well down and the white full-back ran hack. From a five-yard scrum J. Hutchinson secured the leather and scored. Smith failed to convert. Owing to an injury to his rib, Moxon was replaced by Werata in the second half. United made a bold bid and neat passing by Findlay, Werata and Apatari enabled Penman to score. Ward added the extra points. The blues determinedly attacked, but a penalty for offside gave the whites relief. The blues fought hard to mamtain their advantage and kept play dangerously near the white line for some time, and until an opportunity (allowed Bra.ndon a short run. the whites rallied and tackled well, but Burlace secured the leather, saw an opening and scored. His kick was unsuccessful. . Woodville 6, United o. Mr Weston refereed. AT FEILDING. COLLEGE FORWARDS PREVAIL. In a hard forward game Massey College prevailed over Pending at Johnston park by nine points to live, each side having registered a crossing. ihe game was very patchy. The teams Massey College.—Campbell, Matthews, Douglas, Mitchell, Fletcher, Blythe, Blair, Preston, Harper, Sutton, O'Sullivan, Pearce, Greenougli, Cooper, House. Feilding.—Brown, Waugh, G. McCorkinaaie, Barry, W. McCorkindale, deeson, Dewe, Beard, _ Newman, Penney, Hare, Brooks, Sullivan, Farmer, X oster. Play held in midfield for several minutes, but following a strategic thrust uy. the blue inner backs the visitors took up a position in the yellow twenty-five from which the defenders failed to dislodge them. Mitchell essaved to find a way through the yellow "pack with Blythe in attendance, the last-named being held up on the line. A serum five yards out was ordered from which the blue hookers shot the leather back to Blair, who struggled over. Campbell failed to convert. A few moments later Waugh repulsed a raid by the blue pack which had reached the line, a retreat to the twenty-five line being made. Here Douglas turned the tide to regain the ground, hut a pass inheld, wlnqh would have meant success, went astray. A series of penalties against College saw Feilding in the visitors’ twentyfive and, bustling Campbell off his clearing kick, W. McCorkindale dribbled through to the open. Supported by Newman, the raiders made a breach in the blue line, Newman getting over for Beard to convert. The College forwards staged a concerted attack lor Blythe and Mitchell to carry on. Brown, however, turned the scale in the yellows’ favour, but again the blues returned, Blair’s pass to Cooper that would have crowned the action going unaccepted. The second half opened with a fast forward drive by the blue forwards who led by Cooper reached the yellow twen-ty-five. Here the yellows rallied, hut lying on the ball cost them a penalty, Campbell sending the leather over the bar. A moment or two later a forward tussle set down in almost the same spot and Brooks cost the yellows penalty points by coming round offside, Cooper taking the kick. Feilding the chance to assembledtaoinetaoinin assembled for an offensive which Barry headed up the line, an encouraging action being halted near the posts, by the referee getting in touch with the ball. Blues relieved from the scrum, hut could not get the yellows beyond the twenty-five line, where play held for a consideiable period. Feilding won their way back to the blue line, but in a hot struggle College fohglit free, Campbell seudhig the yellows yards down the line with a splendid kick. The opposing pack kept going strong for the ensuing few minutes’ play to the final hell which sounded with the scores reading: Massey College 9, Feilding 5. Mr J. Cantwell refereed.,

THE CURTAIN-RAISER. OLD BOYS BEAT HIGH SCHOOL. As a curtain-raiser to the main match, the junior combination of Old Boys opposed High School, the teams proving to be well matched, although superior weight in the. frontal division assisted Old Boys to victory m the second spell. The only score of the opening spell went to High School, when Stuckey turned a penalty shot at goal to account. However, on the resumption after “lemons” Old Boys took charge and Hadfield, after an earlier disappointment, cut in to equalise. Maintaining the aggression, the blacks gained the winning try when the leather went out to Sorenson, who cut-in smartly to go over under the posts. Robertson goaled to give them the victory by five points. Although they have suffered three or four team losses of late, High School gave a very promising display in view of their Winter Show engagement with Te Aute. Old Boys 8, High School 3. Mr R. Akuira was the referee. THE MIDGETS. TERRACE END B v. CENTRAL B. The first of the midget series was presented at the oval when Terrace End B and Central B opposed one another. The northern school entered upon their activities very smartly, Weston stepping through the opposition to register a good try. Although the blues continued to hold the upper hand, it was the one try of the spell. However, following upon the changeover they added another through Weston, while before the match closed Hopewell added a third and, with the .major points being added, they left the field winners by 11 points to nil. COMMENT ON THE GAMES. FEILDING 0.8. v. OLD' BOYS. There was hardly a dull moment in the game and the Feilding Old Boys and local Old Boys are to be congratulated on the standard of football they produced. ’There was not a weak member in the ranks of either team; indeed, many rose far above their usual standard. In view of their disparity in weight, the Old Boys forwards are deserving of the loudest praise. Although his defence was not seriously tested and, save on odd occasions, lie was given plenty of room, in which to work, Gloyn, the Feilding 0.8. full-back, gave the best display in the position to date this season. Of the four wingers, F. Elliott and Bradley, the left wingers in the rival forces, got through a lot of work very creditably. Both were always on hand when a score promised. From the selector’s point of view it is a pity that both play on the same wing. Although Bramwell showed an improvement, the Feilding centre was rather overshadowed liy Ducker as an attacking unit. The pace at which the latter came up into line was reminiscent of the blacks’ old centre, “Curly” Fletcher. Two of the Old Boys tries were directly attributable to Ducker’s dash and pace. The inclusion of Finlay made a material difference in the Feilding 0.8. line. While we had to accept many indifferent passes from Trass, he showed that he possesses a good pair of hands, while his kicking power is distinctly useful to his side. His defence w’as also good. The partnership between Finlay and Dewe was good, as was that between Plank and Tillick. The latter are a nicely balanced pair who should have a bright future. With the rival forwards anxious to furnish their backs with plenty of ball, the half-backs were very active. While Trass get the leather av’ay smartly., some of liis passes were not all that could be desired. Irvine, the black half-back, w’as at the top of liis form thrchigliout and lie got through an immense amount of work in great style. While it might be possibly unfair to differentiate between the forwards, O’Dea, the slim Old Boys forward, must be complimented on liis display. Henry’s tackling was also a pleasure to witness. Mitchell stirred himself to greater effort on Saturday and he bore the lion’s share of the heavy work for Feilding Old Boys. Devine was a prominent figure also, the manner in which he fed his backs from the rucks and line-outs being very effective. Waldin was suffering from a heavy cold and it curtailed liis activities somewhat. Although suffering a disparity in weight of possibly a stone per man in the serums, Old Boys held their big opponents in remarkable fashion. MISSED PENALTY GOALS. ST. PATRICK’S FAILURE. The match between Kia Toa and St. Patrick’s was remarkable for the number of penalty goals which were missed by the'latter, McKay failing with six attempts from all angles. However, ho made ’amends by playing a magnificent game in the loose. It was evident that he relished his return from the full-hack position to that of rover. M. Gillespie made many openings, while Dawick was nippy on the other wing,®handling very smartly. Barnao, Smith and Lane were prominent among the St. Patrick’s forwards. Strange will soon be making his final appearance for Kia Toa, and his departure for Te Kuiti will be a. severe blow to them. It moans the loss of one of tlie speediest three-quarters they have ever had and a sound, dashing player. Filling the position of centre-three-quarter for Kia Toa, J. McKenzie takes the eye as a straight, determined runner who has pace and dash, and handles well. Sutton, making his second appearance behind the Kia Toa scrum in senior ranks, did everything asked of him, despatched the ball well, and was a solid worker. R. McKenzie was again prominent in the vanguard, and, with G. Wasley, these two men made a formidable pair. Williams rucked well. FIRST BLOOD TO COLLEGE. Massey College gained tlieir first win at the expense of Feilding and quite deserved their success. The forwards kept on the job throughout except for occasional spells and were mainly instrumental in winning the day. Campbell, the College full-back, gave a sound exhibition of line kicking and general defence. Feilding again lacked combination and were altogether too prone to use the boot when in possession to the leather. . Beard did not produce his kicking form again, two likely opportunities going astray. The game was marked by a regular barrage of free kicks in which both sides shared about equally. College secured the ball out of the majority of the set scrums, but, employing' the stab punt overmuch, the backs failed to turn the advantage to its full use. , The blues lacked penetrating ability, for although they enjoyed a greater possession of’tlie leather than their opponents there was little fire about the work of tlie wingers. The inner backs,

with Blair, were a trouble to the yellows. W. McCorkindale again played a good game, but spoiled a fair percentage of liis work by being overlong in getting rid of tlie ball. On several occasions the yellow line had deployed in anticipation but were held up by McCorkindale licing caught in possession.

Central 3 beat Terrace End 0. This was a gool forward game with terrace End (blue) holding the territorial advantage, hut the yellow (Central) defence was sound, Rush in particular saving his side time and again, although he was too well marked to make many scoring openings. bellows’ score came trom a try by Seymour (wing three-quarter), who lan more than half the length of the iieiu to get it. Also showing up in the yellow back-line was Culp an, while Hearsey and Knowles led the forwards. For the blues, Todd, in the forwards, was outstanding and he was ably seconded in his efforts by Puklowski and Kitching, while Duncalf was the best blue back. , Convent 31 beat Hokowlntu 0. -Not many details are available of this game but "Goodall (green) was outstanding as the best forward on the field and did practically what lie liked with tlie opposition. Most of the greens’ score came per medium of this player. The result of the West End-College Street match is not known. JUNIOR GAMES. Hokowliitu 9 defeated Russell Street 6 The game was not- characterised by the best of football, there being “passengers” on both sides, although Hokowliitu did pack well on occasions. The tackling was not too good, there being a tendency to grab jerseys instead of getting tlie man. Hokowliitu’s first score came from a try in tlie first half by Meachen and tries in the second half In: Turvey and Moseley. Russell Street’s six was made up of a penalty kicked by G. Rabone and a try by tlieir left wing-three-quarter. Terrace End A 12 v. College Street 0. —Forwards dominated the play here again, neither side’s backs being able to get going. Wilson scored nine of his side s points with three tries, while the other three came from a try by Walker. Linton,; the blue full-back, was quite good, as also was Young in the backs. The forwards noticed were K. Hardie, McConnon, Goble, and Simpson. For College Street, Shearer, Pilson and Nants performed creditably. Central 3 beat Terrace End B 0- —A good even struggle with the blues probably holding a slight advantage. They were very unlucky on three or four occasions, Williams going into touch in goal in liis dive for the line and Johnson, Odium, and Seator being actually over the line but held up and pushed out again. Yellows’ score came from a try by Divehall from a line-out near the - goal-line. Other Central players noticed were Carr in the forwards and Jamieson in the backs, while tlieir full-back was very good indeed. For the blues, the players mentioned before with Fislier, Weston, Hopkirk, Hardie, Goodwin were good, although there was a tendency for too many heads up in tlie tight. The result of the other junior game is not known. POST OFFICE MATCH. Visitors from Wanganui and Palmerston North and a fair number of Milson residents witnessed a stirring exhibition of the Rugby code at Milson during the weekend—the annual fixture between the junior members of the staffs of the Wanganui and Palmerston North post offices, 'the trophy at stake was the P. and T. Juniors Challenge Shield. In the first match last year the teams drew, 3-all. Later in the season Wanganui defeated Palmerston North by 14 points to 6. The standard of play was quite up to that of former years. Palmerston North dominated the game. gaining possession from the scrums and using more weight. Their defensive play was also of a high standard and tlieir line was not. crossed. Fine weather prevailed. Wanganui’s initial effort took them close up to Palmerston’s line, and it looked as if they would score till the home back cleared. A series of. lino kicks took play over to the visitors’ territory and from a scrum on the line Wanganui managed to clear. An infringement by the visitors on their own twentyfive gave Palmerston a free kick and Donohue made no mistake. A beautiful line kick to Wanganui’s corner flag was the basis of the next score. After the throw-in Palmerston held on and a scrum was formed a few yards out. Palmferston hooked and Lewis went. over, c Donohue adding the points. At half-time the score was unchanged. After the spell. Wanganui made a determined attack and play veered from one side of the field to the other in the vicinity of Palmerston’s twenty-five. The homo defence was sound and, unable to break through. Vernon kicked a field goal. Afraid of losing the advantage in points, Palmerston renewed their efforts and play centred dangerously near the visitors’ goal. A kick over the line and a race for possession resulted in the Wanganui back forcing. The relief was only temporary and the home forwards carried the game well up. A set scrum two yards out from the visitors’ lino saw the whole pack go over the line and a scrum was ordered five yards out. From here tlio ball passed through several hands

to Burke, who dived over. Donohue failed with the kick and the game ended soon after with the scores: Palmerston North 11, Wanganui 4. Mr A. Ward, of Palmerston North, was tho referee.
