UNDER LEAGUE RULES.

MARIST DEFEAT MARITIME.

CITY EASILY DEFEAT NEWTON.

PONSONBY 21, FIRE BRIGADE 5.

Three senior games under League rules were played on Saturday. Marist Old Boys defeated Maritime on No 1 ground at Carlaw Park by 13 points to four after a very fast and vigorous game. City and Newton occupied «No. 2 ground at Caxlaw Park for only one spell. During that period City ran up a score of 37 points to their opponents' five, and Newton decided to discontinue. Ponsonby and Fire Brigade played at Victoria iPark. and aften an interesting contest, Ponsonby proved victorious by 21 points to five.

MARIST OLD BOYS V. MARITIME. The chief attraction at C&rlaw Park was the match, between Marist Old Boys and Maritime, and aDout SOOO spectators witnessed a game in at was full of excitement txom beg.nning to end. Opinion was divided as to which team had the better ch nee of victory. Maritime can always be relied upon to give a hard battle to any team in the competition, and have shown ! consistent form during the season. Marist Old Boys have been somewhat inconsistent but en the previous Saturday's display their supporters had every reason to feel the confidence they expressed of the team's ability to defeat the redoubtable Maritime combination. The latter also were somewhat weakened by the absence of Grey. As matters turned out Marist Old Boys reproduced the form displayed on the pre- ! vious Saturday against Newton, and won i by a good margin. The difference ra the I ecol as, however. hardly represents the , ; merits of the game. Maritime were always , dangerous and several times just failed to , score. In the first spell, particularly, they obtained tie ball from Jtoa 'acrum with almost monotonous regularity, but tfce

ai i? d *?, teke M advantage of the opportunities thus afiorded them and they si„. f°\- succeed fin crossing their opponents' jane. Good individual efforts were maae, but the combination necessary for fh2 r S g - wa t a , bse ° t and good tackling by the Marist backs kept them at bay. On the other hand, the Marist Old Boys took every advantage of their opportunities, the lorwards being as conspicuous as the backs ™ open work and they leaped the reward of combined efforts. Maritime attacked from the kick off, but a Penalty kick sent them back. A misneld by Stormont let in the Maritime forwards again, and the ball waa sent over the Marist line. A free kick gave relief. r rom the open Gallaugher picked up and supported by Puha and Eustace, raced fo^ 7 e i £ The ball was sent out in ecod style, Eustace finishing the movement by scoring at the corner. Stormont failed with the kick. The Maritime forwards rushed the ball to the Marist twenty-five. and Luttlewood almost got through the defence. A sweeping rush by the Marist forwards took the ball the length of the field. Herring sending it over the line, and Singe falling on it to score Marists' second try. Carroll converted. The Maritime forwards were getting the ball in the scrums and sending it well out to the backs A fine dash by McGregor reached the Marist twenty-five. From a penalty Yardley landed a fine goal. A fast forward rush by Mfritime again threatened the Marist line, but Marist forwards came back with a fine dash. Eustace made a good run down the line, but was sent into touch at the twenty-five flag. From the ensuing scrum Ghent got the ball, but was tackled and lost possession. Lang dashed up. and, taking the ball well, da-shed over. Singe failed to convert. Maritime were not to be denied, and the forwards, with a sweeping rush, again invaded the Marist twenty-five. Littlewood was almost over the line, but was well tackled. A penalty kick was awarded to Maritime in front of the posts, and Flrnn had no difficulty in landing a goal. After the kick off, Maritime again took play to the Marist twenty-five, where Flynn had a fruitless shot at goal. A period of giv-and-take play followed, the Maritime forwards having rather the better of matters, flay hung in the Marist twenty-five and a forward rush took the ball to the line, where an infringement gave Marist Old Boys a free kick that relieved the position, j A nice rush by the Marist forwards took i play to the Maritime twerty-Cve, wheTe a | timely mark by Littlewood stayed pro- i gress. The spell ended without further i score: Marist Old Bovs. 11: Maritime. 4. Forward work characterised the play im- I mediately after the interval, neither side j gaining much advantage. A strong rush by j Maritime reached the Marist line, but Lang ! saved well. From a. scrum in front of the ' goal Lang got the ball and relieved with a ! good kick. Brien made ground and cross- j kicked, but the ball went over the line and j Marist saved. A good dash by McGregor, i well supported by the Maritime forwards, again .spelt danger for Marist. but a hard i kick sent the ball into touch in goal. Fast I play followed. Maritime, bv a good kick. I jsent the ball out near the Marist line. The j forwards cleared with a rush and Loveridge. j picking up, made a dodgy run to the Mari- I time twenty-five. He lost the ball just when , a score seemed certain. Maritime came back j with a rush, Stormont saving well. Another ! Maritime rush, headed by Dance, was saved by the Marist ftiliback, but a passing bout j by the Maritime backs threatened danger. I Loveridge nipped in and saved just on the i lino. The Marist forwards carried the scrum I and swept the ball down the field. Flynn ! returned with a good kick and Eustace was tackled with the_ ball. A good dash by McGregor and Brien took play to the Marist I twenty-five. Herring picked up and made j ground, but his pass was missed by his supports. Loveridge got possession and sent ■ the ball down the field. Casev, following "o fast, beat the opposition for pace and scored. Ghent converted. Immediately afterwards i Singe and Herring broke away and reached | the Maritime fullback, but a forward pass spoiled a score. The game was now very fast and the Maritime backß, breaking through, a try appeared to be certain. Gallagher, using his pace, tackled an opponent from behind and saved the situation. Luring the last few minutes of play Marist Old Boys set up a strong attack. Stormont was almost over from a passing run and Maritime were penalised near the line. Singe took the kick and landed a fine goal. A hot attack was launched by Maritime in the last few minutes, but no further score resulted, the game concluding with the scores:— Marist Old Boys ~ . s .. 18 Maritime . . 4 CITY V. NEWTON. 0 The City team, reinforced in the back division by W. Davidson and B. Laing, who returned early in the week from Australia, presented a strong side in opposition to Newton on No. 2 ground at Carlaw Park, Earlier in the season Newton appeared to be one of the teams that had a chance of defeating City in the second round of the competition, but their display against the Maoist Old Boys on the previous Saturday did nothing to strenghen this opinion. The spectators therefore were quite prepared for a City victory. Still they could hardly have expected such a. debacle as actually took place. The City team this season have more nearly approached the League ideal than any other team in the competition. Forwards and backs play with the idea of throwing the bail about with a purpose. That particular purpose is ;to keep possession of the ball until the defence is pierced and a try is made easy for the last man to handle the leather. That is what took place on Saturday. Combining with a definite object the City players never left the issue in doubt. They simply outplayed a good hard battling team by combined effort against individual bursts that apparenly had no objecive except for one man to take the ball as far aa he could. The inevitable happened. The organised nlay of the City team paralysed the opposition, which no doubt contained thirteen players as good or at least almost as good as the thirteen inai ! yidual City players. It was a case of scoring made easy by cominbation against scoring made difficult by individual play, and it is sincerely to be hoped that Newton will take the lesion to heart. Newton has a fine team of individual players and at times they show excellent form, quite good enough tn defeat anything .they meet. ■ On Saturday they elected to discontinue the game at the end of the first spell, when the scores were: — City . .. . ~ ~37 Newton .. ~ & PONSONBY V. FERE BRIGADE. The game between Ponsonby and Fire Brigade at Victoria Park was expected to ! produce a fairly even contest, though the ' majority expected Ponsonby to win. This opinion was borne out by the result. The ' game was never uninteresting, though Ponsonby won by a fairly large margin. In ' the early stages of the first spell Ponsonby assumed the offensive. The backs endeav- j oured to open up the game, and several \ very promising movements were stopped I close to the Fire Brigade gaoL The Fire ' Brigade forwards took play to midfield, where in loose play Coates intercepted a pass and raced down the field to score the first try for Fire Brigade. The goal points were added. Shortly afterwards a good passing bout by Ponsonby resulted in A. McGregor crossing the line for a try, which was converted. Shortly before half-time another good piece of passing by the Ponsonby "backs resulted in E. McGregor scoring. A. McGregor converted, making the scores at half-time: Ponsonby, 10; Fire Brigade, 5 Upon resuming Ponsonby, showing good combination, opened up some nice passing movements, from one of which Edwards scored. McGregor fa : led to convert. After a, period of p T <ty in rnidfield Pou=onby a<ri'n invaded tk' Fir-- B igide territory and A. McGregor scored with a fine dash. THe ki'-k at goal nroved fruitless. The Fire Brigade then had a turn at attick, and Ivil" just failed with a penalty kick at goal, the ball striking the costs. Ponsonby ewent the ball ur> field, and from a parsing bout Walsh scored near the goal "o-=ts. Toward Jke end of the game Fire ■Rrismde set up~ a strong attack, but were unable to pierce the defence, the game concluding with the scores: Ponsonby . . . . . . . 21 Fire Brigade 10 JUNIOR GAMES.

[BY TELEGRAPH. OWN COERESPONDENT.] CAMBRIDGE. Saturday. City Bovers defeated Suburbs to-day by ,24 to 11. THE ASSOCIATION" GAME. THE SENIOR COMPETITION. SOME INTERESTING PLAY. The Association football competitions were continued on Saturday in ideal weather. At Victoria Park a, fast and interesting game between Y.M.C.A. and Hnntiy resulted in a win for the latter by 2 goals to 1. The Ponsonby-Kohimarama match, played later on the same ground, promised well in the onenmg stages, but developed into a very one-sided contest, Ponsonby winning by 13 goals to 0- On the Calliope Dock ground the team from H.MJ3. Philomel was victorious over Y.M-C.A. Old Boys by 2 goals to 0. HUNfLY V. Y.MB.A. Huntly won the toss, and defended the western goal, Catt setting the bail in motion for YM.C-A. The visitors were quickly on the offensive, and their right wing, Hayes, and Lidtiie took shots at gpal, which Mills cleared in good style. Receiving from a goal kick the Y.M.C.A- forwards combined well to take play to their opponents' goal, where the ball went behind- The kick out went to Clanachan, who passed cleverly to Hillcoat, for the latter to shoot, and go very close to scoring. There followed a spell of even play at rnidfield, both sides seeming ~ suable to settle down and play ■with con-

until Renshaw got away on the wing *oi YM.C.A-, and after a smart ran sent m a well-judged pass to the centre. His inside man. Hill coat, took the ball and, shooting quickly, found the net, putting his side in the lead. Huntly replied with a determined attack, in which all of the forwards took part, but solid defence by Clanachan and Braithwaite kept them out, play returning to Huntly'a end. Y.M.CA. then took a hand at attacking, Steele, for Huntly, being prominent for clever saving work. Y.M.O.A. continued to have the better of matters, but lack of combination in the forwards lost them many opportunities. Often play was confined to the right wing, when a pass across the field would have improved the position, and most likely ended m a goal. Toward the end of the spell Huntly made strenuous efforts to equalise, but Mills and Neesham, who were playing splendidly, prevented further score, half-time arriving with Huntly one down. The opening stages of the second half saw some very exciting play, the ball travelling quickly from end to end. Clever work by Hayes took him to within shooting distance, but his shot went wide- Immediately afterwards Catt and Hillcoat had Huntly's defence in difficulties, but Allsop cleared well, relieving the danger. The Huntly forwards increased the pace, and continued to force play. From a "melee in front of Y.M-C.A.'s goal Porteous got an opening, which he was quick to take advantage of. equalising the score with a fine shot. Keeping up' the pressure the visitors made repeated attacks on their opponents' goal, but nothing came of them until Hayes made a splendid individual effort, carrying play from midfield to the back line. A good pass to Porteous at the right moment saw the centre forward Fcore his second goal, and put Huntly in the lead. The final stages of the game were all in Huntly's favour, but they could • not add to the scores:— Huntly .. 2 Y.M.CA 1 Mr- Richardson was referee.

H.M.S. PHILOMEL V. Y.M.CA. 0.8.

Losing the toss, Woods kicked off for Old Boys, passing across to Entwhistle. Corbett I intercepted and placed well to his forwards. who quicicly too& play to Y.M.C.A.'s back I line. Good shots by Heatiey and Hooper I were well cleared by Henderson, but the | sailors were not to be denied, and shortly J afterwards Heatiey sent in a splendid centre i for Hooper to head a fine goal. The kick-off was followed by a good passing bout by the I Y.M.CA.'s forwards. Woods forcing a resulti less corner at Doree's expense. The ex- : tremely rough surface of the playing area I was to a large extent spoiling the game. ;as it was almost impossible to direct the ; ball accurately. After a spell of rather un- ! interesting play the navy men asserted them I selves and shots from Lewis and Hooper : gave Y.M.C.A.'s defence an anxious time. Henderson, however, was equal to the occa- ■ sion, saving cleverly and clearing. Kernick | was playing well at inside right for Philomel, his passes to the centre and bifl out- ! side man starting many attacking move- | ments. A break through by the Y.M.CA. forwards saw Woods in shooting position, | and Batty came out of goal to tackle. What j looked like a certain goal was saved by Corbett. who got back just in tirm to clear. j Encouraged by their success. Y.M.CA. kept I up the pressure and were awarded a corner I from which they would have scored but for j the brilliant work of Batty, in goal, for the i sailors. He saved three shots taken in quick j succession at short range. The spell ended with Philomel leading by 1 goal to 0. j A period of fast, even play followed the • kick-off in the second spell. A free kick I awarded Philomel was taken by Corbett. ! and a well-directed shot was saved by Hen- ■ derson. The Philomel's forwards were all playing well. Hooper being particularly un- , fortunate in not scoring on several occaj sions. He was ultimately rewarded when a good centre from a corner by Heatiey ' enabled him to head his second goal. The Navy forwards continued to dominate play and had considerably the better of matters durine the closing stages of the game. Y.M.CA. ■ broke through occasionally, but could not penetrate the defence. A good game ended with Philomel attacking, and the score:—

PONSONBY V. KOHIMARAMA. After experiencing no little difficulty in raising a full side. Kohimarama took the field at 3.20 p.m. and started off in a very promising manner. Rowat and Stewart, in the forwards, who were playing exceptionally well, were unfortunate not to score several times. Twenty minutes of play had gone before Ponsonby obtained their first goal, but this proved to be the beginning of the end, the game developing into a very onesided affair, in which the Ponsonby forwards excelled themselves. Goals were scored for Ponsonby by Wallwork (6), Pealing (2), Ellis Innes (2), and Roberts. Tho game ended *nth the score:— Ponsonby . . . . , „ »„ 13 Kohimarama . . .. , * .

An Association football match for the Brown Shield between the Wanganui and Wellington representatives was played to-day in fine weather, before an attendance of 5000, Wellington winning by 2 goals to 1. The opening stages of the game were fast and open and. Wanganui was first to score. Cooper centreing for Mitchell to head the bail through. Shortly before half-time Campbell scored for the visitors. Wellington had tne b.tter of the second half, and showed fine combination. As the outcome of a systematic attark ,Ca3sack scored for Wellington and the game ended: Wellington, 2; Wanganui. 1. The team work of Wellington was superior to that of Wanganui, but the defence of the latter was good, otherwise the score would have been larger.
