Otamatea Overwhelm Whangarei B Reps.
In the Rugby match played at Paparoa on Saturday, Otamatea proved much too good for the Whangarei B reps, winning by 16 points to 3. At the beginning of the second half, G. Shortland (Pipiwai) in going down to stop a rush was crashed into by a home forward going at top speed. Shortland sustained a cracked rib, and after treatment by Dr. Mackey, of
Faparoa, was brought to Whangarei' by Mr F. Macdermott. A peculiar accident was that which befell Jack Ford, of Towai. In a forward melee he bumped into one of his colleagues with such force that his nose commenced to bleed, and the flow could not be quenched for a considerable time.
The cnild actress. Shirley Temple, is confined to her bod in Boston due to the heat and over-excitement. She has a temperature of 100.5 degrees, but it is expected a day in bed will restore her health.
