BRITISH RUGBY TEAM
FINAL MATCH WITH AUSTRALIA. VICTORY BY 73 POINTS TO 3. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) (Rec. 1.24 a.m.) Perth, September 22. The British Rugby team played their final game in Australia to-day against a Western Australian combination. It is 20 years since the last match at Perth against a British team. The visitors completely outclassed the local, side ' and gave an exhibition of brilliant passing and combined work which will go far to popularizing the code. A feature was a penalty goal by Matu Carpenter, a former New. South Wales player, from more than half-way down the ground. The final scores were: Britain 73, Western Australia 3. The attendance was 3,500. The Britishers were lavishly entertained, then joined a mail boat for Home.
