DUNEDIN.

•VARSITY v. ZINGARI. The game, last Saturday, on Carisbrook Ground, was good. It afforded many clever instances of speed, and did not lag- at any time. The "Moerakis" won by 15 to 10. , . Cuthill and Childs figured well m the opening. Bond did not show tact, but it was merely a slip. Pilling is worth attention,, if he manages to retain himself. Bond gave way twice badly to Harris, who did it beautifully, Pilling showing his good points. • , A player for Zingari out-distancing many is young Marks. He is a great lad from the scrum. Right through the piece, .Pilling played top for Moerakis, and Marks for, Zingari. Zingari seem .to be getting on m pace and form. It is time. Considering the poor condition of the ground the j teams deserve compliments. UNION v. PIRATES: Union defeated Pirates on the Northern Ground. by Bto 3. What- a horrible state the field was m! It's a scandal to the 0.R.F.U., but quite m keeping with the nonenties who boss j the roost. Having regard to the na? I ture of the ground, both teams played well. Scott stood out well for the Pirates, I doing any amount of good work. A player who never once spared himself for old Union is Mills. He looked his best, despite his muddecorated regalia, and utilised the boot m some remarkably clever kicks. SOUTHERN v. ' DUNEDIN. The affray at Tahuna Park between Southern and Dunedin went to th former In easy fashion. Dunedin seems a shy team, lacking initiative somewhat. Want of cohesion- explains this, and the want was glaringly exemplified m the second spell. Messrs. Douglas and "Williams wore distinctly strong and keen items for Southern. There were a few unmentionables In the team, who did not care to exert themselves In any way. The club should weed out those scallywags. Kor Dunedin. Woods was probably the foremost. If Dunedin had featured more dnsh and combination In the final go, they could have walked over.
