ZING A It! v. KAIKQRAI. The wimc opened on Curlshrook Ground In a fulrJy good match between Zlngarl and Kalkonil. The Held whsi bud, und no doubt this accounted for some very weak tactics. Zlngurl forwurdK .set up a vigorous attack and had tho Kaikoruta defending with iMI their might. Off -ftido.' play came to th'olr relief. Scott sending the ball out at the 2F. lluk. ..From the throwIn Kltiffarl broke right away. 'tnklnjc 'the leather wr-H up the tlcl.l until iiannii crossed and wni th<= bull fully buck. Mark* grappling from tho scrum tore off ttt top MpiM>d m, the full-back anil >klcked over hl» head, but thtr leather went wide. From the throw-In Kiiikorai camt? away with a splendid ruwh, only to be Willed up by Watson, who wan playliiK llnely. From the acrum, Marks whipped out ih<- bull, which went the round 'of'all tluf backsi, ending with HuM^eU being thrown uuu

Marks stood out prominently m his next venture, as taking the ball clear, running well and beating his opponents for a sure try. The referee, however, called him back for some reason not apparent. Kaikorai came well out by Sinclair getting, possession of the ball. A neat opening was made, Sinclair going well,- but he sent the leather over the line and a force resulted. .. . On changing over, Zingari went at it with greater zest and soon, had the Kaikorais very hard at defence, Scott just getting the ball clear m the nick. [The teams were now at it with greater dash and the pace commenced to tell. Zingari utilised their . backs, but the attack never went beyond Russell, who did not accept the ball too well. Later on he improved considerably. Russell , should pass the ball faster, and not cling to if: so mournfully. /Kaikorai's Osborne' kicked- with judgment and gained a deal of t gro,urid for his team. Marks again stood but admirably from a scrum. Bad play by Dryden gave the | Zingaris a free, kick under the' post. Marks running ahead pn the blind side from a scrum, passed out to Collie and a very heat .try resulted. Thoroughly I aroused Kaikorai came away with a j good rush,- A. McDonald -in the van, but •Watson crossed and picked tip, kecpi ing out at half-way. Zingari was well m the attack -when the ball went. Zingari won by 3 to nil. For the wihers every compliment is due to Watson, Mark^, .Whittak.er, Collie, Tansey^Patterson and Davidson. ....'.'■ .: For Kaikorai, Scott, Sinclair,' A; Me- ' Donald, Woodrqw and Mo,uat played very well indeed. ' • . . , - /VARSITY v. UNION. \ Of the remaining matches, the one between University a.nd Union at Tahuha Park, is alone worthy of. notice. The game. was fairly good part of the .time and Union seemed to be genuinely doing their -utmost, fighting well, and .defending strenuously, ' despite which, however, their opponents' easily walked off with ! them. , The 'Varsity have a good*- crowd, but .there was something sickly a.bout their mowments, and this should not have to be said about a winning team. "Varsity 15, ■;.Union: 8. ' , . . ! Cuthiil seems" always to be a very sure thing for University... 'l Withers .is another of the same, type, and one who is persistently' going very strong. Mills, for Union, acted admirably m the opening spell, putting m splendid work. He 'is a clever: tactioal player, and one worth watching. Another very efficient and. strenuous player for the same team is Williams. He stood out as a keen, sincere item.
