Ovei?, 90Q wildly cheering. v and exr s cited ' spectators on Saturday saw Star defeat Stratford by 13 points, to 11 after one of the hardest games games played • \ pij.; ■ Victoria Pirk.’ In the first spell Stratford ran. the score up to 11 points without their opponents being able to cross the line once, but after the second spell had progressed for some little time the Star backs got going and made the pace so terriffically y lpt th£t the home team was completely overwhelmed. The game was notable for the number of minor casualties which occurred, and two Star- men Cole and Ross had to re- ■ . tiro. ,• FIRST S&o£ • ' i 1 Fryday kicked off for Stratford against the sun, and what little wind there was. Soon, from a throw-in,,j Fryday got away; but was down and a few moments later play | went out. Following a free kick, - Stratford, gradually brought play inside. Star’s 25, * but were repulsed. After a spell of hard forward,,play at centre, Coulton got the ball and made a splendid cut through. He put in a long pass in front of the goal, but an. interception by Graham checked a very dangerous movement. fine passing rush by the 'Star line saw Wolfe whip brilliantly across, the field - and down the line, only to bo grassed by Collins within a yard of scoring. " -' I From the throw-in the ball passed rapidly across 'the Star forwards and out to Jenkins, whdd made a good ; but fruitless attemptv‘tb drop a goal. | In the ensuing few minutes Jack !

' with a well-judged punt Jenkins found touch at the corner flag. From a scrum Court attempted, to force his way • througn, but was firmly held by, Kivell. Interest was kept high by the very determined play by Star, who continued to attack first on one wing and then on, the other, faulty passing spoiling two very fine efforts,, A TRY TO KIVELL. ! Stratford were superior Jib hook,-, ing. Juit the advantage was annulled by Star repeatedly wheeling the scrums. Walter was prominent with a good, run, in which he carried throe opponents for some distance up the field. As, a result’Stratford reached the Star line and from a dash by ‘Walter the ball passed, to Kivell, who dived over. Sangster put in a dif- | fi cu 1 1: kick against the sun and .fail- j ed. I STRATFORD U, STIE 0. [

Carey then went «on, in place of Ross, whose knee gave out. Again Stratford’s smart following up took, play. over, the Ifne, where another score was? prevented by Star ‘forcing. Brooking repeatedly spoiled passing movements by 3ut out. a man and bcdng tackled wltTf dip ball. Falwasser, initiated a flying three-quarter run which ended in Brooking kicking into touch. Scrambling play followed in front of ;he Stratford goal, but Coulton relieved, kicking out near halfway,. \fter much even forward, play, Mor■is,. for an infringement,, had a, kick it goal from the 'i, line, but the ball >a§sed underneath.

With a groat.run, Young gained a.lf • the length of the field and with , cross kick gaye Coulton a splendid p.po.rtunity, but he failed to pick;, up. 'rom the ensuing play, Stratford •ere awarded a free kick, which was taken by Fryday from half-way. The ball struck the cross bar and-bounc-ed back into play. Shortly afterwards, when Sta;; had regained much of their lost ground, offside play by Sangster saw them awarded a free kick in front- of the goal. Morris’s attempt however went wide. Newell initiated a passing rush which the three-quarter lino handled correctly, but Alger was brought down-hy force of numbers. Stratford’s combination sho wed im- j provement, and they were j’x'.st then beating their opponents by good pass-j ing and fielding; unusual features in! their back play, Sangster was -.not up] to his usual form, however, anvl sev- { oral times miskicked. A mu’. 11 by Wolfe let in the Stratford men, and Star were as a result then kept well on the defensive.

’ STRATFORD Z c STAR 0. A fine run by Cole carried play from halfway to the Stratford line, where the ball went out, > ' A CONVERTED TRY. From the ensuing throw-in Lemon spoiled a good opening by diving into the .back, and a moment later Coulton, getting possession, kicked across to Brooking, who, with, the ball at his toe, gained 20 .or JJO.yards before being; xipset by Wolfe. The Stratford men were, however, following up, splendidly, and Fryday snapped up 10 or 12 yards from the'dine and raced over at the corner. Sangster from a difficult angle added, the crowning points*, f V , STRATFORD 8, ..STAR 0. Star now took a turn, and in- a vigorous attack the ball was dribbled down to the Stratford line, where, despite desperate efforts, a score was averted through a superb defence. A SUSTAINED i ATTACK. The Star forwards wore more J ban holding their own with the Stratford men.. When in an advantageous position,. ■ Brooking picked up: , and badly miskicking almost let in Jen-, kins, who was pushed into touch at flag. A most- dangerous • attack was broken up by a fine kick by Walter, but Star again came at It and

A GREAT GAME. \ Coulton, Kivell, and Young, wetie playing a great, game, and much off Stratford’s advantage was due , to* their nippy and continuously aggres-' sive tactics. STAR’S FIRST SCORE. A fine kick to touch resulted- in a series of scrums, on the Stratford lino, from which Falwasser dived through and scored., between the posts. 'Morris’s kick -was- Sure-.-. - STRATFORD 11, STAR 5. After that, the Stratford forwards

got into it and carried play down into Star’s territory. Jenkins effected relief, and a moment later a beautiful piece of passing by the Star backs, saw Falwasser take a pass at full speed and rush right through the Stratford team only to be grassed by Collins. Lemon then started another similar movement which ended in Wolfe getting over at the corner and amidst wild cheering he scored. Morris converted.

STRATFORD 11, STAR 10. It was now anybody’s game and the excitement of the spectators was at fever heat. Fryday took a free kick from nearly half way, hut it fell short and Star again came on to the attack. ANYBODY’S GAME. Falwasser was once more in the thick of things, and there were some tense moments in front of the Stratford posts. From a scrum AVolfe got the hail and dived round like a streak but went out. From the throw-in the ball passed rapidly across the field and Brooking dribbled down to halfway. PERFECT PASSING. Star’s passing was now working to perfection and their hot pace bad Stratford nonplussed, it being a replica of, the Tukapa tactics. EXCITEMENT WORKING UP. The latter stages brought deafening cheering and both sides straining to the utmost. Brooking’s star movement of the day put Stratford, in, a position to score, but bad fumbling near the line enable, Wolfe to relieve with a kick which Collins fielded and took a pot at goal. This wont wide. The pace was terific and Several stoppages occurred through minor injuries. From halfway Fvyday got clear and cut diagonally across the ground, passing to Coulton, who went out.

OX THE STAR LI^E. Vigorous play continued on the Star line, and had it not been for Brooking attempting ,to go, on. his own the result might have been different. His lack of speed. and weight permitted him to be repeatedly tackled with the ball. Falwasser was prominent, with a fine run and kick to touch, in the Stratford 25. From the thvown-in the Star backs again mystified the Stratford men oy their backward and forward passing and [Wolfe again dived over in a good position. The try was not converted. STAR 13, STRATFORD 11, Star .fed their fliers-on both wings, and the ball went- rapidly from side Lto. side, the visitors having the advantage except fortoccasional rushes by the Stratford forwards. One of the mostf exciting games ever seen on the Park saw Stratford beaten by two points,”.,, v, VOTES, m SIDELINE. .

To-day’s match was probably the most exciting one ever played on the Park and it again demonstrated that | a game is never- won until the; find I; {whistle sounds. In the. first half [Stratford; set. the pace : and taking, ad-, fvantage of every opportunity they opt shone Star in the forwards andthq [backs combined unusually well in smothering tactics. As a result Stratford held a clear lead of 11 to nil at ’halftime. In the rSecoiV- half, the old weaknesses ! began to show—slow, and. bad passing, impossible- ini'dividual efforts and much fumbling, In contrast to the slow movements •of Sangater, Brooking, and Alger jthe nippy versatile play of Falwas!ser, Wolfe and,Lemon was markedly {brilliant. change of tactics An the second half in opening \the game up-and keeping'the Star , line; moving at high pace that lead to ;i their victory—although , , if “ifs” counted (which; they don’t) Stratford would have won nicely, Fryday’s kick at goal, which dropped on the middle of the crossbar and bounced back was surely hard luck, whilst any average junior player would,have kicked.the goal that Sangster. missed [from, a position, in front of fbe posts, iThe;; veterans, , Kivell, Young,. Walter and Coiilton were again the backbone of the local; attack and defence, whilst Falwasser, H, Wolfe,, Lemon,, and Jenkins at fullback were, the pick of the visitors.

The final score, Star 13, Stratford 11, truly represented, the respective merits of, the, teams. Stratford otill mjuites an, improved .back line, and a high speed winger.' TUKAPA 3, ELTHAM Oi Nothing very., wps iprbduced at Eltham where Tukapa defeated the home side, by 3 points (an unconverted try) to nil. Though extended, Tukapa were the better team on the day and deserved the win. The, forwards -were .evenly matched, both backs giving a. good display, but, in ..the • hacks Tukapa possessed more finish and combination than their opponents, Eltham shaped poorly in the, rearguard, losing a lot of ground through, poor Holding and;, passing. Play was of the handsoiled type throughout, and Tukapa showed little of the speed and combination of which they were supposed to be capable. In- the first spell they wore in the ascendant, but towards the end Eltham ' made‘ a great revival, threatening to score several times. The defence was good cm both sides, and the who.le of the second half provided nothing more than excitement and little enough of that.

j The.teams j Kltham Harris, Pago, Maylor, | Geriihoefer, Cooper, Roy Pennmi, At--1 trill, Tiplady,- Forster, Thomas, Lou. Pepperell, Len. Pepperell, McGuiue.ss,- Boh. Pennial, Corkill. Tukapa—Petty, Newell, If. ollivcr, Lkt rt, R. Olliver, Jeffries, G. Taylor, A. Taylor, McGuire, O’Dowda, Hull-. tor ; » Bean, Evans, Hammersley, T’ko Eltham forwards broke into Tuka.pa’s territory at thp outset and the, re-bound, nearly let Tiplady over, .v R. Olliver returned to the at;

tack and opened out tho Tukapa backs, Newell knocking on a. difficult pass. When the way was opened to score, the Eltham forwards .worked back, and Hart touched down. From a charged down mark, > Petty found touch with a nice return, off a long kick- by Harris, and when Jefferies attempted to start the backs, lie found Tiplady a little too quick. Bad passing in Tukapa’s backs let Eltham through, and an infringement gave Harris a chance at a goal, which he failed to convert. Penniali kicked and caught Hart inside the 25, but Eltham could develop nothing serious enough to threaten the defence. A Tukapa passing rush broke down, through a dropped pass, then R. Taylor cleared to touch when Harris got into difficulties, and from the line-out McGuinness, Forster and Tiplady swept down the field to Petty, who found touch when things looked dangerous for Tqkapa. . A straight run by R. Olliver was tile next excitement, but the tackling was good and two successive rushes were suppressed. From scrummaging under the posts Tiplady came away with the hall, which Jefferies secured, and fired out to Hart, Harris and through him into touch in the corner, and play swung across the field to the other wing, whore Newell was pushed into touch just after Attrill speculated and Jefferies cut through with Taylor on the outside, the latter scoring at the corner. Hookcl-’s kick was “wide.

TUKAPA 3, ELTHAM 0

Five minutes’ play hart elapsed but the game had hart little excitement up to this point, Eltham keeping play amongst their forwards, who were doing good work. Tiplady and Pepperell cut through to the line and wTien R. Olliver forced a five yards’ scrum was awarded to Eltham. Altrill .got the ball away to Penniall, but Cooper overran his pass by yards, lotting Hooker and Hart right through to past half way, where the move- ! ment was smothered. Just after {this Hart retired, with an injured jleg, and Dinoen filled the gap. Tip- ( larty N was doing Trojan’s wmrk for Eltham, and time and again he broke up Tukapa’s backs when the Eltham forwards wore obstructed after Tiplady had taken the hall through from the scrum Tukapa was penalised, but Len Poppereil made a poor attempt at a goal. The Tukapa forwards were being frequently penalised for offside tactics, and penalties helped Eltham, hut there was no combination in the home backs, and this was Eltham’s weakness. Tukapa however found the defence hard to beat. Tukapa made several fruitless eu;deavours to score just before half | time, which arrived without altera- , tion to the score. | SECOND SPELL. j Tukapa livened up upon resuming, and in face of the pressure* Eltham handled badly: Hooker marked in 1 midfield,' and from half-way wa s Just yards Wide of the uprights with a i fine kick. . Soon after Jeffries marked j from, the line-out: and was also?, just ' wide of the posts. Neither side' de- . velcpecl any organised movements, the I rushes being of a scrambling nature, ! the Eltham backs overrunning their I passes’, while -Tukapa’,, s long suit was Up knock on just as their'backs would ;gdt" moving nicely. Penniall and i Cooper changed places in the Eitiiam, Steam, and Hooker had just made a pTonilMlng H hfi¥kt 'ndieff 1 CV/opeb drib'blbVf through from hist 25 diagonally across ’ the- field. With the assistance of Tiplady and Atrill he beat Taylor and Petty but was forced into touch close to the corner, when Eltham's hopes i were (highest. Tukapa cleared to | half-way, and working the blind side well, Jeffries sent Oliver .through, [ only to succumb to a bunch of .for* j wards. Great excitement prevailed when Tiplady and Atrill burst through on? the left wing, Tiplady getting over only to find play recalled to half-way. Jeffries made; the most of a breakaway by McLean corning round with Ins backs in a line. Instead of passing, however, he dummied and put the whole of the fastlymoving line off side, and of course, the rush broke down. .Eltham began to K ho\\' increased dash and threatened Tukapa’s line with, a series of individual rushes in which either Pago or Tiplady figured. Eltham were within striking distance when H. Oliver sent play to the other end, where Taylor intercepted and broke clean away to fall to Petty after covering 40 yards of paddock. Play fluctuated over the full length of the- field, neither side being able to- sustain an attack for any length oi : time. During an exciting rally in midfield, Corkill received a kick in the face and was replaced by Foster. Eltham made things more lively than ever. Tipladv did great work and led the* Eltham pack into Tukapa’s quarters. Play was rushed to the corner, where Petty was beaten by the bounce, hut Eltham. lost the ball into touch, their they, passed it out to the backs and} Page, being blocked outwards, cut infield under the posts, but was) smothered and the pack which swarmed in after him could find no opening. Tukapa,- who had been having the busiest time since the game began, swept to the other end and somebody—it was" too dark to identify him —made a dive and was hauled do win by three Eltham men on the line. H. Oliver sejjt Hooker racing for the corner, but he failed to get there, after making a good run. Newell tried a pot but was wide. After this | Eltham attacked and Pag© made a I great run down to touch, being grassed inside the 25 by Jeffries, Dear* cleared, and Eltham lost their advantage by infringing. The Tukapa pack with, Dean, O’Dowda and Taylor prominent, played splendidly towards the end, and were more than a match for Eltham. It was almost too dark to sec the ball from the side lino. However, when the final whistle. sounded, the score was; |

'| • I N EW, PLY MO U TH, Ja no 19. • 1 The match between Inglewood and 1 Ok!- Boys was of a more scrambling 1 muure m the first half than it promis--1 ed to be at the opening. t From tlie kick-off the home side -at or.eoi set up-an attack, in which they, i threw the fall about merrily. H . travelled out to Clarke on the Jte-l't . wing and. was passed infield and out [ again, but the. final pass Lem Clarke went astray close to the line and tiie . visitors were able to clear. Sutherland, McKay and E. Chard were primarily responsible for getting Inglc--1 .wood out of their initial difficulties, hut the relief was onl - temporary. For a while the play was of a strag- ’ gliug character, but the Whites-’ rear • division machinery soon began to work and three tries were scored in quick succession. Brown was responsible for two of thorn and Stevens for the other, two being-converted bv Brown. The scrumming was poor and though , the Whites were more successful in hooking the ball the superior weight of the forwards told on.many occasions. Coutts narrowly missed kicking a penalty goal on the call of half time.

From the start Kaponga pressed. Rang! broke through for Kaponga to force. Malone broke away ror Kaponga and Tuki was safe, sending, Birchall away to : score. Rangi’s kick failed. From j the kick Okaiawa attacked. A dan-,1 gerous attack by Kaponga was brok-j en -up by S. Crawford, who cleared' welri down.

Play stay-’ ed in mid-licld. Infringements were frequent:, mostly by Okaiawa,, who missed many opportunities of scoring by aimless kicking. forwards were superior to the Blacks, but with a tendency to off-side play. A great forward rush by G-ay and Malone nearly saw a Black score, but Purvis cleared by a liner, Kaponga was playing up, better now, and were twice nearly over, but off-side play spoilt a promising movement. Guy Avas playing a great game at second live-eighths, as Avas Johnson for OkaiaAva, and he sent away a fine passing rush only stopped by a mark by Eddie Scott. Scrambling play followed, Avith Okaiawa pressing, until Kissiek got aAvay Avith the ball at too, to be stemmed by a counterattack.
