THE RUGBY GAME. CLUB CHAMTIONSHIPS. PONSONBY AND GRAMMAR LEADS. The club championship matches under the auspices of the Auckland Rugby Union were continued on Saturday under perfect conditions. The grounds wer* in splendid order, firm and fast, and, with an almost total absence of wind, the oonditions favoured bright and open football. The competition were advanced a further stage, nnd the results of the matches leave Ponsonbv and Grammar Old Boys oqual in the lead with 12 championship points each. There was a record attendance at Eden Park to witness the first meeting this season of the Grammar School and Sacred Heart College, and tho match between College Rifles and Marist Brothers Old Boys in the senior grade championship competition. The two grandstands were packed to overflowing, tbo ring side was lined, and the terraces crowded, the attendance being estimated at 5000. The match between Grammar School and Sacred Heart College played as a cur-tain-raiser furnished an attractive game, in which the superiority of. the Grammar backs enabled the dchool to win by 11 points to 0.

The principal club championship contest was between College Rifles and Marist Brothers Old Boys. Both teams were well represented, and a fast, hard and exciting game ended in a win for Marist. Bros, by 13 points to 8. There was little brilliancy in the back play, but the forward tight was hard and dogged to a degree, with the tenaciou s Marist pack dominating. On the run of the play there was little difference between 'the teams, but Marists were the stronger side, and uover looked like being defeated. Collego Rifles were unfortunate in loping the services of two of their best backs, Hirst and Begg, through injury, but the passing of the division at critical stages was faulty, and the backs generally were crippled by the close', tenacious tackling of the opposition.

Grammar Old Boys secured an easy win over Eden on No. 2 ground, defeating that team by 35 points to 3.

The match ■ between Grafton and Newton on No. 3 ground was keenly and closely contested. Newton showed much improved form, but Grafton was the superior team on the run of the play, and won by 20 points to 9.

The match between Ponsonby and North Shore at Devonport .produced a fast, hard game, closely contested, in which Ponfonby showed tho better form, winning by 17 po'uta to 8. The following table shows the positions of the senior teams in the championship to dato: —

MARIST BROS. V. COLLEGE RIFLES. The match between Marist Brothers Old Boys and CoUeee B'l/ies was played on No. 1 jrouad at Edeu Park svnd furnished a hard. fast, and exciting game.

From.the j subsequent play Gillespie was caught in j possession and Marist Brothers were i awarded a free kick. Thomas just missing the goal. After the drop out Marists broke away and O'Connor, the fullback, with a fine kick, found the line. Thomas made a j good opening in College twenty-five, where j Earlly came thvo'.igh end dribbled over the j 1 line, College 'orrirg in defence. Fast play ! followed the dnsp out, but faulty passing I j by the ColWo bfceka let the down. An- | other passing rush by College Rifl.ee threatened danger, and JJ'.lnnes came through to be tackled by M&lloy in a good position. Play up to this stsge had been fairly even, with the Marist forwards in the ascendant.. From a line-out fiegg let his backs away, i and Everett and Grierson, were prominent . in an attack, which was carried on by the / forwards, with Lane in the van, Culpan ( saving in tim<s bv forcing. From the drop out Everett fielded and after a zigzag run ;>assed to Grant, who failed to take a low pass. Play immediately swung to the right wing, where Grierson attempted to brjak through. Grant then made a good run on the left wing, and from a line-out McDonald | broke away at the head of a Mtrist forward rush, when the whistle sounded for change > over. A rapid rally followed, when Earlly marked and took a place-kick from half- ; way. the ball falling short. From the drop | out Marists broke away in a scrambling rush and Scott, picking up in the ruck, passed to T. Casey, who dashed round to ] score a try. which Scott converted. On | resumption. College pressed the attack, but ! Marist forwards, with P. O'Connor in the van. cleared and took play to College terri- . tory, where from a scrum Begg set his ! backs going, but the passing was faulty, and the attack broke down at half-way. Another passing rflah started by Begg, in which Hirst, Grieraon, Everett, and Grant handled in turn, was brought up on the touch-line. College Rifles came again in a bright passing rush, Everett sending to Barker, who was thrown out at the corner flag. From the line-otit, play swung in front of Marists' goal, where Muir secured and scored a try. which Filling converted, making the scores,fire all. Tight line play followed, and Earlly got the ball away to BTady.. but Power missed the pass, and Hirst,' the Rifles five-eighths, dashed in to clear with a kick. As he was in the air Hirst came into collision with a Marist forward following np fast and w&a knocked out, suffering a slight concussion, and had to be carried off the field. On resumption, Earlly opened up an attack, but Power, at centre, again foiled to take the pass, and a fine line-kick by .Gillespie cleared to half-way. From the line-out the Marist forwards broke awav, but Everett, picking up smartly. »an through and kicked to touch, the first spell ending with the scores; College Rifles .5 Marist Brothers 5 The second spell opened sensationally, Begg cross-kicking to centre, but Everett over-ran the ball, and Marists came away in a loose rush which carried play to the College line, where, from a scramble, Power scored 2. try, which Peters, converted. Marists wero now leading by. 10 pointo to 5. Moves replaced Hirst, tj.king up a position on the wing of the threequarter line, and Grant went up to five-eighths in. the Rifles back division.. Culpan. the Marist forward, who had been sligitly injured, was replaced by Hogan, who played five-eighths. Power, go'ns into the pack with ""irady ov the wing of iho hreequar ••<• l:ne, wd MHlo.v at rr-ntre. The reconstruction improved the Marist j fh-ewjuarter line. On College j Rifles pressed the attack, but O'Connor, tho , Marist fullback, cleared with a good kick , to touch. F.arlly, who was playing a fine same, cleared from a tight scrum, and Thomas came through at the head of a i Marist rush. Anderson breaking away, from a line out for Grant to clear. Marists were awarded a penalty, and Peters made a good but ineffectual attempt at goal.' A swift passing by College Rifles was promising, when Grierson broke away, but Everett missed the pass, and, a good chance was lost. Rifles came again, and Barker, with a fine ran, was almost over, when a centre kick forced Marists. Tho luck was against CnlWe Rifles still further when Begg, the halfback, who had been playing a sound game, retired from an old injury, anr: was replaced by Westbury. Pillina playing behind tho scrum. A sensational passing rush by Marists' backs opened with Ea.rlly passing out'- to T -Tillov. on t'- Tb-yn.-. +™ Scott. The latter raced down the line, and beinp tackled by Gillesnie, was thrown out at the corner flag. From tho drop out the Marist forwards broke away, and Anderson scored a try. which Thomas failed t-> convert On th« c\\Kß"» oi-n- M*»ri<it«i' forwards broke away with McDonald .in the van, and hard kicking and fast following up was just saved bv Gillespie forcing."

GRAMMAR OLD BOYS V. EDEN. Little interest was taken in the match between Grammar Old Boys and Eden on No. 2 ground at Eden Park, the result being practically a foregone conclusion.

The Auckland Association football representatives successfully defended the Brown Shield against South Auckland at Victoria Park on Saturday. Fine weather prevuiled, and there was a record attendance,, fully 4000 spectators being present. Play v.-i.B fast and full of incident throughout. Erratic shooting and over-eagerness lost ths local side many opportunities to score in the first spell, and at half-time the challengers were leadinff by one goal to nil. In the latter stages of the game the Auckland team took charge, and with excitement running high among the speatatci::i, quickly added to their score, finally running out winners by Biz goals to one. Auckland won- the toss, and Barnett kicked off for the visitors, who had the sun at their backs and the wind in their favour. A few minutes of even play ensued, until Corrin, of Auckland, made an opening for TremaLin. which enabled the latter to force a corner. Innes centred well, but Davidson saved and punted out to his left wing. Following a nice piece of pljy by Simm, on Auckland's left.

The outside left made a smart run down the wing and centred. Barnett's shot going •over. , . ~ The ball continued to travel quickly from end to end. Auckland's wings, Simm and Innes, were playing clever football, but their passes to centre were not being accepted. Dacre and Tremrin both had several good opportunities to score., but most of the shots lacked direction, and Davidson, in goal for the .visitors, was stopping in a finished manner Everything that came his way. Handicapped by the sun and wind the local backs were failing to return the ball cleanly, and the visiting forwards, displacing clever footwork, and well supported by their halfbacks, frequently went close to scoring. Visitors Make First Score. . Following a clever break through by Hayes nf South Auckland, a free kick against the home team saw McLellan place the ball well to his forwards, and play travelled quickly to Auckland's area. A. fast shot by Easton was fisted out by Batty, to be immediately returned by M-rLeilan. Batty stved again, but the backs failed to clear, and from close pby in front of goal Barnett secured an opening, and shooting quickly, found the not,, putting South Auckland one up. Auckland attacked strongly from the kickoff. and only good work by Williams, King and McLellan kept them from scoring. Two corners were forced in quick succession, but nothing came of them, and Davidson, of South Auckl:nd. wa« loudly applauded when he came out of goal and clevcrly robbed the ball from three of the attacking forBut for an occasional break through by the visiting forwards Auckland had much the better of rem lining play 111 Un- first half, but they failed to score, and half-time arrived with the score; South Auckland 1 Auckland 0

On resuming the Auckland forwards went quickly to the attack, and a mis-kick by Williams gave them a corner. The ball went behind, but Meikle returned the goal kick, and t>la.v again settled in the visitor? area. Injuries to Williams delayed the gatne for a: few minutes, and on resuming a Binart run by Innes on Auckland s right was finished off by a good . centre, which Dacre failed to accept, and Sirom shot from the opposite wing, forcing Davidson to concede a corner. Campbell cleared, and Hayes went through in great style, passing out to Lidd'ie. whose shot went wide. --„„._ Excellent placing by Corrin and ]Scesham put Auckland again on the attack, and Innes being illegally tackled a penally was awarded agrinst the visitors. Comn took the kick and equalised the scores with a snot to the corner.

Home Team Continue Attacks. Prom this on the Auckland side played up to a man, and the visiting backs were kept hard at it defending. Haycock secured at half-way and sent .on to Sexton, who kicked up field. Following, up smartly Dacre outpaced King., and, taking the nail right through, sent in. a fast shot at close r.irige which gave Davidson no chance, and out Auckland in the lead. Shortly afterwards a clever Pass . from Neesham sent Sexton away The inside right flashed through at the centre and beating the bacKs badly, scored Auckland e third goal with a shot that 6truck tae upright and curled into the net,

South Auckland made strenuous _ efforts to reduce the lead. b».t the home side was 'now dominating play, and from a pass by Sexton, Simm worked clear of the, opposition and cross-kicked. Innes came in from the opposite wing and centred, for Tremiiin to score. „ - , , Hayes and Liddle got away from ihe lick-off, but Pitkin tackled surely, and sent on to Neesham.
