NOTES AND COMMENTS. §§§o*;' Th« match between Ponsonby and Marist &K - Brothers Old .boys played on No. 2 ground. on Saturday developed into a forward il ■ strugglo, with occasional flashes ot SSfi individual back play, The Manst pack, pip? led by Ryan, Casey and B. Barrett, p Lad the best of , the exchanges, although good work was done in the open by Hanion. of Ponsonby. He is one of the fev most dashing fonwrds in this season "senior competition. SeSars, Mage* and Francis $isslso played good forjvard games for ion j Ste' Eonby. The best of the Manst backs wero ( Courtney, Clark. J. Barrett, and Eartly; aid j ®Sof Ponsonby. Wilson, Boon and Tmnaine. ( " I • Tho University-Parnell match resulted in ( Iftfithe indents winning their first came this ( season. The advantage was m the winners back division, which proved altogeJier i supe- ( C® rior to tic maroon rearguard. „ or the , S-greater part of the game, P&rneH kept ; ' 1 , Fine intac., tho only score against it being . IJ.vi penalty goal until live final quarter, when ( ■ 'Varsity put on a further 10 point.. 11 would appear that the Parnell team lacks condi- J fe&uon, and therefore tho maroons may bring ( f off a surprise at any time. The pick of , ll the .'Varsity backs were Swaffield, Prussmg. Slf'and Mogiwe. J- Mater resumed his old j I position as wing forward and Dignan and teMiliikcn were the, best of the pact Inkster ( •'-J,.-was elected captain .of the team vice N. McLean, who has enlisted. ; The Parnell for wards bore the brunt of the day s play, and • >;■ \•' it was no doubt due to the excellent of the »ack work that the score was not larger. #isuir- Cleave, Wilson and Hansch were a ■ hard-workins Quartette of forwards. THE LEAGUE GAME. ' KpNOTES AND COMMENTS. _ , Sh ? v Newton created some astonishment by its performance Against Grdtoa at tic jfeS Domain on Saturday. This team was fe-considered to havo very little chance 1 against the leaders in the competition, • #vltuVaii ! ; had much the better .of the game - during the first half,. which con- i eluded with the score ll.to 8 m its favour ( fersltt'Athe : second .spell Grafton proved its , superiority • cad- won by 15 points to 11 ; * Ifwerson played, well for Grafton, and lie . ||f waaS well supported by McGregor and ; Koope. Tobin, Bennett, Blakey, Potae and . teiClatkoliwero the most prominent of the i jSjkNewioa players, v- :. , ■ . , . !15®ffi!*iHie I surprise of the afternoon was City s 1 victory over North Shore. The latter team had not been previously defeated this seajStKj son, and" it was confidently expected that tig&fthe waterside ' thirteen would account for P#City^ However, North Shore did not have 1 its fall strength •in the field, Weston' and , Miller 4being absent, '.their places wing S filled by,"Harper, on ex-Rugby .player, and Rowe. Stewart, a five-eighth, was injured : during the second spell, and had to retire, Xijj' thus leaving 32 men on the field. One of them, AVynyard, five-eighths, had a had leg, Jt, ands altogether, the . team was far from its usual standard. City opened -tho score with |?a>?-Jry:: which was converted, but before the fee interval arrived J. Paul had put two penalty I goals to J North Shore's credit " - Two more tries, one of which was converted, were obtained by City in the second spell, but Paul managed to add a similar number of jjp§; penalty ; goals, and the gamo ended iu favour rof City by jv« points. ■ The Asher ; gp,tbrothere - played a fine game. for the winliers. Between-" them they accounted •- for i p%the whole of tho score. Paul on th» other fgp hand was t responsible , for all the points gained by North Shore. " feMtOnn Saturday, week ' a series of special ifefcf. matches will be held at Victoria Park in ®Mftid''of ' the . hospital ship and killed and wounded relief fund, and a good afternoon's sport . should result. The Management CorapS mittee is j sparing ; no pains to make the > i|p'fixtnrs a success, and. there should be a large; attendance of the public. If a col- , S% lection for the same purnoso was made at * fesyl ordinary Saturday matches a good sum jg'i,would be-obtained for the fund.
