Auckland Grammar School defeated the Hamilton High School by nine points to nil in a match played at Rugby Park today before" a fair gathering of spectators. The hopes entertained that a good game would be witnessed were not realised, the strong: westerly wind completely spoiling any efforts to make the game open and interesting There were frequent, interruptions through accidents. That Grammar's score was not considerably higher was due to Hamilton's spoiling tactics, which negatived many promising attempts to seore. In the first half, Hamilton had the advantage ot the wind and for a time Auckland ivas defending Slyfield had a penalty shot at *oal. but missed From a loose scramble Currey gathered in and dived over near the :orner. Slyfield'a shot went wide. Currey accepted a pass, and, having a clear ield from the half-way line, scored an ascellent try near_ the posts. Robinson's <ick failed. Half-time sounded with the scores:—Grammar, G; Hamilton. 0. Gilling, Gresham, J. Mack;. Paterson and Pountney carried the ball into Auckland's quarter, but found the visitors' back line well prepared for the attack. The pressure was resumed by Grammar and Brown took the ball from a scrum and scored. Slyfield's kick was short. ■ Even play fol lowed for the remainder of the game, and the whistle blew with the scores:—Gram mar, 9: Hamilton, High, 0. Mr. S. W. Davis was referee. MATCHES AT HAMILTON.
