SATURDAY’S GAMES. SOME SURPRISES. RESULTS. united l ° Wellington 2 Wesley 1 Hockey matches were continued on Safurdav- under pleasant conditions. I e' i noticeable features of the day s play were the results in two of the senior games, and the number of accidents Hint occurred. Although the were of no serious consequence it necessitated the players retiring iiorn the flC J d 'Gondall, one of Karori’s foremost playeifi, met with the most painful aorident. that of a broken wiist. tunatcly -for him Miss M. Pate™ » St. John’s lady player, was on the ground and she rendered first aid uitii the improvised bandages at her disposal in a capable manner. Hammond, another Karori man, had also to retire, he having received a. knock on the knee--11. Jacobsen, playing right fallback toi Wesley against Wellington, injured his leg and had to bcooino a spectator tor the rest of the game. KARORI (1) v. Y.M.C.A. (0). The match between these two teams--on tho No. 1 ground-—used for the first time this season—provided a hard fought and even game. Each team did an equal amount of attacking and both had many opportunities to score. For the first ‘fifteen minutes play was principally outside the twenty-five yards ; line. Y.M.C.A. made a dangerous-look-ing attack, but a brilliant save by L. Davies sent the ball over the cross-bar. Some time after Y.M.C.A, cam© along and a good 'shot by Loader on the leitf wing went across the goal and out of play. Then Karori gained 'their opponents’ circle and a hard shot by the left wing (Aicken) missed. Both teams for some time got in many fine passing rushes. Good work by the fullbacks and goalkeepers was the only thing that kept them from scoring. The * first spell ended with neither side having registeried a point. On the resumption of play Karori forwards gained tlie . circle, but were unsuccessful. ' They cam© back again, however, and the ball went to Murphy, just outside the circle. He took it within striking distance, and seemed to ©core a goal, but the referee ruled otherwise. Another pretty passing rush was instituted by the blacks. Nothing came of it, for the ball went behind. Then Carde, for Y.M.C.A., made a nice individual onslaught on the Karori goal, but Gendall returned plafy- and Collie was called on to save, which he did well. ■ A nice run by R. Parton saw him pass all the backs, but his shot at goal was capably stopped by Davies. Gendall, who was playing right fullback in place of C. Davies, in running back to try and check Parton's attempt, tripped and fell with his right wrist- underneath Mm. After ten minutes of stoppage of play on account of this accident, Karori won the bully, which was in their circle, and G. Davies, with one of his characteristic runs, shot af goal, but Collie stopped the ball. Murphy' gained possession and made no mistake with his shot. Karori 1, Y.M.C.A. 0. Play continued up and down field and it.was getting so dark that nobody could see tho ball. The referee, however, played the game out to timeDr Morpeth controlled the match. m METROPOLITAN (3) v. UNITED (3). For the first portion of this game, on Kelburne Park, Metropolitan kept the United men on the defence. The United forwards soon turned the tables and after some play in front of tho posts Owens found the net. Metropolitan again got on the attack, but thedr inefficient shooting spoilt them from scoring. Another unsuccessful rush by United saw Metropolitan again in tho circle, and Hall soon made the scores equal. Metropolitan/ still consistent, were rewarded with another, goal, through the agencr of Hall, before the whistle sounded for the spell. United livened up somewhat in the second half and they • soon made the 1 scores equal. Jones was the responsible man. Play kept on and the determination of each team to win did not diminish. Before very long Organ succeeded in notching the third point for United. It seemed as though United would win, but Metropolitan visited the circle again, this time with better results, Hitching adding the third point to Metropolitan and the final point in the game. Mr -Falconer was the referee. WELLINGTON (2) v. WESLEY (1). It was generally thought that this game, decided on No. 3 ground, would have ended in favour of Vvjeeley. While Wellington gave an improved display, the Wesley team's play was poor and it was paitly on this account that Wellington won. Neither side had scored when tho whistle sounded for half-time. Wellington were the first to score in the second spell, and a little later Wesley equalised. Wellington, still determined, notched another point and time sounded -without Wesley being able to catch up, Mt R. Hunter was referee. JUNIOR.
