Old Boys In North Otago Rugby , (From "N.Z. Truth's" Oamaru Rep.) . Conditions on Saturday were , ideal for the commencement of the ; third round of the senior competition. ( DV defeating Maheno by six points to ( three, Old Boys maintained their , unbeaten record and are now m a safe ( position for the Citizens' Shield. No surprise was occasioned through the defeat of Athletic by Excelsior to the tune of 21 to 4. Athletic fielded a very weak team, including several juniors. ( The championship list now reads Old Boys 12 points, Maheno 7, Excelsior 7, and Athletic 2. - i Newlands and Pr ingle played solidly for' Maheno, giving of their best throughout. • ; O % ld ( Boys displayed improved com- , blnation, Kent more than making up for his lack of form last week. ' Blackmore, on the "left wing for Old Boys, is a great battler and together ' with Loder, Kent,-, and Shaw participated m some lively parsing bouts. Whiting is- the mainstay of Athletic , forwards, but has an indifferent pack to work with. ' Next' Saturday, Waitaki Sub -Union J stage a trial match at KAjow when , the -team will be choseti* to meet .oiixiiiru.t * *■■' r ' * i
