Manawatu Schools’ Team Again Beaten

QUADRANGULAR TOURNAMENT AT WANGANUI Per Press Association. WANGANUI, Last Night. The primary schools’ annual quadrangular Rugby tournament was advanced a further stage this afternoon in showery weather, when Wanganui defeated Manawatu by 15 to nil and Wellington won from Wairarapa 6 J. Wanganui are so far unbeaten and meet Wairarapa on Wednesday, when the tournament concludes. Tournament at Levin Per Press Association LEVIN, Last Night. The primary schools’ quadrangular tournament was continued this afternoon. Heavy rain fell in the morning and was still falling during the play, making tho ground slippery. Rangitikei defeated Ilutt Valley by nine to three, and I-lorowlicnua and Taranaki played a draw, neither side scoring. Taranaki and Horowkcnua have each had a win and a draw, Eangitikci a win and Hutt two losses. Tho final day’s play is on Wednesday. Wellington Win College Tourney Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Last Night. Tho annual quadrangular intereolegc Rugby tournament between Wellington, Christ’s, Wanganui and Nelson concluded to-day in victory for Wellington College, who defeated Christ’s College in the final by nine to six. The match was played under tho worst possible weather conditions and resolved itself into a forward struggle. Wellington owed their victory to tho way their forwards stood up to tho heavier Christ’s pack. Had the Christchurch team kept tho ball on tho ground instead of attempting to bring their backs into play in tho last quarter of an hour, they would at least havo made a draw of it. Tho Nelson-Wanganui College match resulted in a win for Nelson by six points to five. Silverstream Easily Retain Holly Shield Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Last Night. In the final of the annual -triangular Rugby tournament between St. Patrick’s Collego (Wellington), St. Patrick’s (Silverstream) and St. Bede s (Christchurch), St. Patrick’s (Silverstream) defeated St. Bede’s by 20 points to nil. St. Patrick’s thus retain tho Holly Shield. A greasy ground and a heavy, elusive ball, made the conditions difficult and the two rival packs fought out tho issue.
