FIRST GRADE GAMES. BLUE TRI ANG LE-ROSLYN, The game between Blue Triangle and Roslyn on Saturday afternoon commenced in a very lively manner, and was both interesting and exciting to the spectators. Both teams showed good form,‘and justified their promotion to A grade. Blue Triangle won by ' a narrow margin—--15—14. UNIVERSITY v. ALBANY TI. Albany II opened the attack against University, scoring the first goal. University retaliated, but Albany again attacked successfully, making the score 3 —l in its favour. _ From then on University took the initiative, and were soon in a leading position, which they maintained until the end of the game. The half-time score was'lo—s. In the second half University again dominated the play, although Albany showed a marked improvement in the latter stage of the game, the final score being 19—13 in University’s favour. EX-HIGH v. EX-HIGH IT. Ex-High I played Ex-High II one short, but were too active for their- opponents, and won by a comfortable margin, 28— 11. Miss J. Guppies was again back in her old place with the l’s, and by her sure handling, shooting and all-round play seemed to put added confidence and vim into the team. ALBANY I v. RAWHITI. In the first half of the game between Albany I and Rawhiti some brilliant play was noticeable at times, the Rawhiti team playing quite good basketball, considering their late entry into the First Grade Competition. In the second half Albany dominated the play in all departments, their opponents not showing any of the combination or ability shown in the first part of the game. The score, 38 —8 in Albany’s favour, was a fair indication of the teams’ merits. Only first grade games were played, and those under cover.
