The game between the two heavyweight teams in the senior competition —Jackeytown and Woodville —■ although it resolved Itself into a battie between the forwards, was not totally devoid of interest, for occasionally ther© was some brilliant work accomplished. From the initial kick, Woodville (blue and black) assumed the offensive, but Carroll secured the ball from a linc-out near Jackeytown’s (light blue) last line, and with the aid of other forwards transferred play to neutral territory. After even play, Jackeytown again attacked, but solid forward work on the part of Woodbine brought the latter within the enemy twenty-five line. However, repeated violations of the rules spoilt any opportunity of scoring. Carroll, who was conspicuous throughout, made an excellent break, but lie was not sufficiently backed up, and the visiting backs cleared. After a long spell of up and down play, the Jackeytown men found themselves on their opponents’ last line by a great forward rush. From a line-out that ensued, Galpin secured th© leather and dived across the line in a handy position. Anderson’s kick was unsuccessful. Jackeytown 3, Woodville 0. Woodville endeavoured to make amends, but Carroll and Anderson led an ominous rush into their territory which was only checked by a timely mark by Mair. The Blacks followed up the kick, but could not penetrat* the solid defence of the blue rearguard. Shortly afterwards the blues had to force to save. The blues gradually worked their way to mid-field, where Carroll made an excellent break, and after dodging a, number of opponents scored under th© posts and converted the try himself. Jackeytown 8, Woodville 0. Carroll came to light with another spectacular run, and with the aid of Hearsey, transferred play to the opposite end of the field. The Woodville men were on the verge of scoring on numerous occasions but they always lacked the finishing touches. When the Woodville team was again attacking after the interval, Jewell put his side on the offensive with a good centring kick, which the forwards followed up hard. After a prolonged melee on the blacks’ line, R. De Cleehe got across in a central position. Carroll was entrusted with the kick, but it went wide. Jackeytown 11, Woodville 0. After loose play, Woodville found themselves battling in the enemy twentyfive, when they were awarded a penalty kick, and Mair with little difficulty put on three points for his side. Jackeytown 11, Woodville 3. After several scrimmages on Jackeytown’s last line, the play went down field with a rush, and from loose play within th(e blacks’ twenty-five, Anderson got across and scored the last try of the day. The kick failed. Jackeytown 14, Woodville 3. Shortly afterwards, when the whistle sounded time, the Woodville team was on the defensive. Mr J. Proud was the referee. OLD BOYS v. WESTERN UNITED. Interest at the Showgrounds on Saturday centred principally on this game, and a capital exposition of the Rugby code was given by the winners. They were much lighter than their opponents, especially in the forward division, but as active as terriers, with a nippy, well-trained team of backs. The ponderous Western United forwards were raced off their feet, and their backs were mostly bewildered. No fewer than seven tries were scored. Of these, only two were converted, and faith in Johnston's hitherto trusty boot ha* depreciated accordingly. Diedrich, in the Old Boys’ scrum, was a tower of strength. He made, with Rose, the opening for Eglinton to secure the first try. The kick was charged down. Shortly afterwards, Glendinning was pushed out at the corner. In a subsequent lino-out, the ball went through the hands of the whole line of backs faultlessly, and Fairbrother touched down. Placed at a difficult angle, the kick failed. ’The same concerted back action, each swinging into his appointed place at the right moment, characterised another effort crowned by Robinson. Johnston missed with the kick. Robinson again flashed into the limelight with the ball tucked securely under his arm and scored. The effort to convert failed. In the few minutes before half-time, play was illumined by a mighty kick from Rose, followed up by eager forwards. Western United sought refuge in a touch down. Shortly after resumption, Old Boys were penalised for a forward pass, and Fisher made an ambitious attempt, from near half-way, at the goal. A good kick fell short. For a while, Western United, by extraordinary exertions, kept Old Boys busily guarding their line, but the efforts were fruitless. Bramwell, everywhere at once, saved splendidly, and Old Boys made off up field. The ball went to Glendinning. He made for the line on top gear, and crossing at the corner ran round and touched down behind the posts. Johnston kicked a goal. Glendinning set off with the same objective later on, supported by Eglinton, who scored. Rose took the kick but the ball hit the bar. Before the bell rang Glendinning made another hurried visit to the rear of the Western United line and deposited the ball, Johnston added the major points to the tune of Old Boys 25, Western United 0. Mr Seward was referee. WELLINGTON RESULTS. Following are the scores in the Wellington Union’s competition:— Petone 21, Athletic !); Varsity 12, Selwyn 3; Poneke 14.

A fast game was anticipated, Dawbers showing considerable, pace in

practice games, whilst Rangers were successful last Saturday against Y.M.C.A. Rangers attacked immediately, and weak kicking by Dawber right back almost let them in. Persisting in their attack. Bell hit the post with a powerful drive, the attack finally terminating in an abortive corner. Dawbers now took a hand in the game, C. Dawber leading a ra'd on the left wing, but faulty ball control lost them the advantage, and Rangfers returning to the attack through the powerful kicking of Meadows found Dawbers backs weak. After Smillie had lobbed the ball on to the cross-bar, Crow seized on to the ball and gave the goalie no, chance. Rangers 1; Dawbers nil. Almost immediately Dawbers were on the defence again, a bad miss by terson letting in Bell who tested Talbot with a low shot, following which prettv play by Contour. Miller and West" saw the latter graze the post with a drive. Dawbers were here too easily bustled, but later splendid combined play by the Rangers foiwards ended in a magnificent shot from the wing by Wagstaffe, the goalie making an equally fine save by tipping the ball over the bar. The resultant corner was well placed by Miller, and Bell headed into goal. Rangers 2, Dawbers nil. On the resumption after halt time, there was a decided improvement in Dawbers play became at once evident through Walker going forward in the place of Herand. Even so the first goal of the second spell came to Rangers, Crow, after fine combined plav, beating Talbot with a, ground shot. Rangers 3, Dawbers nil. Just before the final whistle, Flood was next brought to his knees by a low drive by C. Dawber, and then Miller seizing on the ball with a fine, run down the wing relieved the pressure. Time was called with Rangers deservedly the winners, due to superior combination, by 3 goals to 1. Mi. Fastier was the referee Y.M.C.A. V. R.S.A. The Y.M.C.A. team easily defeated the recently formed R.S.A. eleven by seven goals to one. The match although keenly contested proved only a mediocre exposition of the Association game. The Y.M.C.A. team showed good form, and was ever ready to avail itself of any opportunities to score. Although the retuinod men were totally outclassed by their opponents, they put up a stern fight to the finish. Following are the results of the Wellington city competitions:—Senior A; Diamonds 2, Hospital 0; Y.M.C.A. B 7. Y.M.C.A. 2: Watersiders 1, Thistle 1; Marist Bros. 2, Karorl 2. Senior B: Gas Company 3, Island Bay 0; Petone 1, Swift 0. bowling. The final tourney of the season was held on the Palmerston North Clubs’ green on Saturday, when fourteen rinks competed.

The Wanganui players came down for the club's annual match on Saturday in great force, with the record number of thirty-three players, and both sides were able to put in their best players. The match itself was won by Manawatu, who secured 21 games to 12. In connection with the club match, the first 18 competed for the Wilson Cup, at present held by the local club. For this there was a tie, each side winning nine matches, and the trophy therefore remains with the Manawatu Club. This cup donated by the late Dr. George Wilson in 1904 for inter-club competition, but of late years only the Wanganui and Manawatu Clubs have played for it. It was held by the former club for a number of years, until at last Manawatu managed to win it back in 1921. Of the matches played on Saturday, probably the best play was in the game between Dr. Williams and Ekstedt, the former doing 80 and Ek--stedt 77. It was a meritorious win for the home player. There was a good game between the ex-New Zealand champion, Jock Harold, and A. Barraud, the latter perhaps slightly handicapped with a poisoned finger. Harold has not missed the annua! match at Palmerston North for the last twenty vears, and has seldom lost his game. "Both the Seiferts were playing very well, and put down strong players in J. Saunders and J. Goss. Following are the results, the Wanganui men being - mentioned first: Dr. Williams 0 v. A. Ekstedt 1; J. Harold 1 v. A. Barraud 0; J. Saunders 0 v. A. Seifert 1; J. Goss 0 v. W.

The tournament is being held at Hamilton.
