f'?. •":.;:' : ' : ".. MEN'S; CiAMES:.;..'} UTTLE INTEREST TAKEN There was little interest, taken;in the men's senior hockey matches,,, at Tonjga Park on Saturday: Collegiate defaulted to University A and the two games. which were held were played oh very heavy grounds and there was not ; much first class hockey to be seen. High School Qld Boys beat Albany by four goals to nil and University B beat Training College by four goals to two; In neither case does the score give a fair indication of the run Of play. University B v. Training. College Training College put up a good showing against, a. .superior team and, indeed, more more than held their own for several periods during the game. In the first half, College was definitelyNm top, although the half time score was one all In the second spell poor shooting was again accountable for College's lack of success and the game* ended: University B y ... 4 goals.;, Training College 2 goals. The umpires were Messrs W. S. Wood and L.'R. Hercus. Old Boys v. Albany High School Old Boys set Albany a big obstacle to overcome when they piled up three scores in about 10 minutes fairly early in the second half, and. although both before this and after it Albany kept up a fairly constant attack, they were unable to score. The run of the/ play favoured Albany but with Hercus in Old Boys' goal at the top o. his form they had to accept defeat. Edginton scored twi:e and Dobier and WriPht each scored once, Wright's goal coming from a clever angle shot. The final score was: High School Old Boys 4 goals. Albany .. ••. . • Nil. The umpires were Messrs H. Sew Hoy and T. N. Finder.
