RUGBY FOOTBALL
FIRST SERIES OF MATCHES
UNIVERSITY'S HIGH SCORING PONSONBY TEAM DEFEATED The ]9."34 Rugby season ivns opened in Auckland on Saturday afternoon, when the weather was overcast but line and the grounds were in splendid order for |>lay. There was a large attendance at Eden Park, where two matches wore played on No. 1 ground. ]n the curtain-raiser College Rifles defeated Ponsonhy by the margin of a dropped goal in/the last minute of play. University had a regular field day at the expense of Marist, the winning fifteen displaying evidence of careful preparation with resultant first-class understanding and combination. Playing at the Show Grounds Graftou proved a little too solid all round for Technical Old Boys, scoring two tries and a penalty goal to a penalty goal! Manukau defeated Otahuhu on the latter's home ground at Sturges Park by a margin of five points after an interesting contest. Grammar Old Boys had a bye. Following are the results of the matches: — "University, 40; Marist, 6. College .Rifles, 12; Ponsonby, S. Manukau, 13; Otahuhu, S. Grafton, 9; Technical, 3. MARIST'OVERWHELMED UNIVERSITY BACKS IX FORM University opened the season in convincing fashion l>y inflicting a crushing defeat on Marist, one of the teams with which it shared the championship last year, by 40 points to G. A game so one-sided could scarcely be called' interesting, but the University backs showed speed and cleverness which augur well for future displays. Points which impressed about the game were the continued brilliance of the University thre,*-quarter line, members of which scored seven of the side's ten tries, W. Hadley's machine-like hooking for Marist, and the apparent lack of fitness of the losing team. In the first ten minutes University was all over its opponents, dominating scrums and line-outs and scoring two tries, chiefly as a result of intensive backing up by the inside backs. Mulvihill and Caughey scored the two opening tries through being handy when their wingers had been temporarily checked. Shortly afterwards Hadley struck his hookI ing form and from then on Marist held / at 'least a two-to-one advantage in the set scrums, so much so that toward the end of the first spell the team took scrums instead of line-outs when it had the option. But it was of no. avail. The inside backs were hopelessly outclassed, and with University keeping relentlessly on the ball the Marist dofence was cut to ribbons. Three more trids were added by University before the spell ended, two of them as the result of combined back movements. One was brilliantly executed. Mulvihill crosskicked accurately in a passir.g rush and Lewis took the ball on the bounce to pass infield to Caughey, who scored. The second half -ivas just a repetition - of the first, the University ba-:ks showing fine 'understanding, although the five tries which were added were more the result of individual effort. The loss of Milliken does not look like inconveniencing University. for Lewis, who has replaced him, played brilliantly on Saturday. He is uncemmonly fast, swerves well and has an excellent sense of anticipation. Caughey played an admirably constructive game at centre, and Kedgley. on the other wing, was well up to last season's form. The forwards. • by a lighter pack in the set scrums, played well together, with Drake, Colgan, Peacock and Thomas outstanding. The last-named followed up brilliantly. In spite of their lack of weight, the Marist forwards/ may develop into a good combination. Hadley and Fleming were prominent on Saturday. However, the backs let them down both on defence and attack. Turner gave shocking service from (he base of the scrum and Cooney and Muller were sn unhappy combination at five-eighths. the Wanganui representative fullback. made a poor showing, even although he was/called on to do more work than any normal fullback could be expected to cope with. K. Smith showed flashes of speed on the wing and scored one of his side's tries after a blind-side dash, with the University defence out of position. The other try was scored by Toye from a forward scramble on the line. There wore frequent stoppages for injuries to Mnrist players, and Tjoombe and Fleming retired hurt, being replaced by Bell-Booth and ToJ-e respectively. | At half-time , University led 19—3, and I the final score'was University. 40: Marist. : G. For University tries were scored by Lewis (4), Caughey (2). Mulvihill, Keds- ! ley. Green and Sherwood. Bush converted ; five. For Marist unconverted tries were i scored by Smith and Toys. Mr. C. F. Paull was referee. SENSATIONAL FINISH COLLEGE MULES' VICTORY A sensational finish in which a field eoiil ! 'by Wales a minute before time enabled j , College Rifles to defeat Ponsonby. one of ; , Inst year's three bracketed winners, for the j first time in piany years more than com- I pensated for the dreariness of the first half j of the curtain-raiser at Eden Park. It was | a well-deserved and popular win which | gave an indication that College Rifles will be a team to be reckoned with this season. The final score was:—College Rifles, 12; Ponsonby, P. In the first half Ponsonby was un- j doubtedly superior and at half-time was | leading by eight points to nil. College > Rifles was not outclassed, however, and j several times went close to scoring. Play was dull was the most part, any opportunities the backs were given being spoiled by faulty handling.
About half-way through the second spell j the College Rifles rearguard began throwing the ball about with fine zest and the Ponsonby players were hard put to it to keep them at bay. Almost at tlie call of time the scores were even and College Rifles was hard on the attack. Wales gained possession a fair distance back in front of. his ppponents' goal and. pausing an instant to sum up the position, dropkicked a goal which gave his side the victory.
Thft winning team deserves the highest praise for its performance. Kirk, at fullback. exploited lor.g-rnnge kicks with considerable effect, Vear, wing-threequarter, and Wales, centre, being the most promin-
ent, of the other backs. All the forwards worked with a will. Stone. E. Batty. Stewart and Ross being always in the thick of Play. In the Ponsonby team Solomon stood head and shoulders above his ' team-mates, and it was to his leadership that their eight-point lead in the first half was due. Bond was another forward who was freyently in the picture. As a combination the backs were unimpressive, although Carter showed bursts of speed on the v.-ing. The place-kicking of Pearrnan. fullback, was
commendable. For College Rifles Frankham scored a
J try. which was converted by "Wales, who 1 also sained points with a penalty goal and » drop-kick. ; Ponsonby's two tries were 'cored' by 'Richardson, being converted by Pearman, and Solomon. Mr. C. W. Henderson was referee.
SUPERIOR TEAM WORK MANUKAU BEATS OTAHUHU Manukau earned its victory over Otaluibu by superior team work. Forwards end backs worked well together, the half linking both units efficiently and completing the combination. Otahuiiu suffered in comparison, its weakness being behind the scrum. Solomon, a colt, was not a success as scrum-half. He was slow in sending out the ball and had a tendency to dive through the ruck. The five-eighths received few opportunities, and the backs rarely had «n opening made for them. From the outset the Manußau forwards dominated the scrums and line-outs, and Pepper and Pearce were prominent throughout. They headed many raids with fast breaking. The Otahuhu pack took longer to settle, and it was after the interval ere they challenged the opposition successfully. Williams and Peterson were ever in the thick of loose scrummaging, and Jones and •Jury led j repeated . attacks. For a time Manukau's ilefence was hard-pressed. but a preat rally by its forwards transformed the came.
Played soundly at fullback. -Hts kicking was particularly good, and llis conversion of.the last try was a splendid
effort. The three<[uarters responded well
many openings nude by the two nimble fiveeighths, Berridge and Brimble. The key to their success wan the outstanding work of Hadfield behind I;he scrum. Ho set his line in action with well-timed passes. Individually, the Otahuhu back division was good. but there '.vas no combination in the work. White, at fullback, defended well. Gladding was tiao most prominent back, his opportunism being marked in a great burst in the first spell which resulted in a scoie.
Pearson, advanced from centre to fiveeighths. did not seem comfortable, although on occasions he shewed fine penetration. Hedge, a colt from third intermediates, gave a spirited display. He fearlessly went down at the feel; of the opposing forwards and shone also in offensive tactics. The score, at half-time was five points each. The final score wasManukau, 13: Otahuhu, 8. Brimble and Berridge scored tries for Manukau, Heaz.lewood converting one and kicking a penalty goal. For Otahuhu Lazarus jieored a try which White converted. The last-named also kicked a penalty goal. Mr. J. Malcolm was referee.
VICTORY FOR GRAFTON WEIGHT AN ADVANTAGE Exceptionally good form for first of the season football was displayed by both teams in an interesting match between Grafton and Technical. Old Boys at the Show Grounds. Penalties, however, were frequent, but place-kicking for the most part was disappointing:. Technical missed several opportunities to score in this manner. Grafton's superior weight early gave the side an advantage, and the forwards, with McLean, Finlayson and Fraser prominent, were impressive, and kept the play well in the Technical territory during the first half. Spirited attacks by the Technical backs, with Murdoch and Turbott figuring largely, brought the play into Grafton's half occasionally, but Paton, the Grafton full-back, played a sound defensive game. The Grafton forwards, led by Smith, pressed Technical hard, and from a line-out the ball went to Stuurt, who cross-kicked to Burton, the last-named scoring well out. Paton failed to convert, and at half-time the score remained 3—o in Grafton's favour.
At the beginning of the second half Technical attacked vigorously until McLean took possession of the ball and passed to Curry, who made a brilliant run, evading his opposing w;ng, to scoro a good try which Paton again failed to convert. At this stage Stuart received an injury to the knee-cap and was replaced by Eayncr. Technical continued to attack strongly, with Keane and McK»inzis*sl'owing lip well in the pack, and Grafton was kept on the defensive. A penalty awarded Technical outside the Grafton twenty-five was taken by Lord, who with a fine kick brought the score up to 6—3. For the remainder of the game Grafton had the advantage, but the Technical defence was sound. A penalty awarded Grafton was taken by Paton, whose kick hit tho bar and bounced over, making the finr.l ecore:—Grafton, 9; Technical Old Boys. 3. Mr. J. G. C. Wales was referee.
