Only some, nine members of the IFC - put In an appearance, and/ "With the assistance ' of Porter, O. Ekensteen, & n d Brown from the Pirates, they managed to fulfil the engagement. Porter and Brown (baok) and Simmorids (forward) did., wonderfully well^but we«* handicapped too much to ijfcaVe off defeat,' the Star scoring a try just'oii th<? oallof '.time. QueryWhere were M.
