RUGBY

MANUKAU Only on© senior match was played in the Manukau Sub-union’s territory on Saturday, the Clevedon team having defaulted to Papakura. Improved football was seen in the Hunua-Drury fixture, which resulted in the visitors (Hunua) winning by 8-3. The match was characterised by hard, yet brisk play, and some pretty pieces of work were accomplished by the two sides striving to gain the championship. From the outset the Hunua team appeared as though it would win, for it dominated play in the early stages and harassed Drury continuously. For the winners A. Matheson, the bright wing-threequarter, secured two tries, one of which the “skipper” and halfback, C. Robinson, converted. Drury’s only score was a penalty obtained by B. Cossey. Next Saturday will see the club games ushered out. HUNTLY Huntly went the better all through In its game with Pukemiro, the latter’s pack lacking cohesion, and they were beaten fore and aft throughout. The locals’ combination was good, particularly the rearguard, and Shand and Yates, hooking the oval regularly, gave the backs the opportunities which they made good use of. Mick Ralph was out on his own and, on the clay, easily the pick. He scored three tries and converted one in a score of 20 against Puke’s 4. Curry was about the next best to him, while Whorskey, Welch and Shand had most to say in front. For the losers, Delloway and Terawhiti in the rearguard were the best, with nobody outstanding in the frontrankers. Taupiri Seniors (4), a potted goal by Millar, beat Ngaruawahia (nil) after a very even contest. Ngaruawahia (19) had most to say against Te Hoe (6), and Huntly beat Taupiri by 6 to 0. The following have been chosen to act as selectors for the South Auckland District in connection with the representative trial matches: Seniors, J. O’Sullivan (Huntly), O'Brien (Te Hoe), E. Hall (Ngaruawahia): juniors, Rev. Father Curley and Mr. W. G. Clavis (Huntly). HAMILTON By vanquishing Technical Old Boys in on© of the two senior games at Rugby Park on Saturday, Old Boys placed themselves in an enviable position as far as points for the Sage Memorial Cup are concerned. City, however. which proved a thorn in tn e side of Old Boys in the first round, has still a game to play with Technical in the first round and another game in the second round before it can draw level If City wins both these games. Old Boys will no longer be in the lead. Old Boys were responsible for play that was a delight to watch, although the final score of 27-11 shows that it was all in their hands. Technical made a spirited attack in th© first quarter, but for the rest of the game the passing rushes of the opposing backs broke them to pieecs. A feature of the game was the trio of tries secured by Collins, an acquisition to Old Boys’ team, who once played for Timaru High School. This young player made the fans sit up and take notice, for each of his tries was a triumph of Rugby skill. His future performances with the leading team will be watched with interest. One of the most spectacular of the Old Boys’ fries was one in which Brough, the rover, from the half-way lin© dribbled upfield with two opposing forwards in hot pursuit. With nothing before him, he picked up the ball and placed it between the uprights after a fine spurt. Gunn, Technical’s half, was a tower of strength for the beaten side. From each scrum he handled the ball in as accomplished a way as one would wish to see. ‘The First-class Four” is an apt name for Fitzgerald, Kemp, Collins and Tuck, the backs, who bore the brunt of the play for Old Boys. Frankton’s task of upsetting Marist was a fairly easy one in the second senior game here on Saturday. Always in position, the Frankton backs made constant rushes into the enemy’s territory, and the final score saw them with an IS-point margin—21-3. It was not until the last quarter that Marist began to wake up and take a hand in offensive tactics, and the sound of the whistle prevented what looked to be some possible tries. One of the occasional comic interludes peculiar to the code occurred when O’Halloran, Marist’s fullback, made half-a-dozen attempts to recover the ball after a long kick to him. Each time he stooped to pick up he kicked the leather a bit further on, until finally Bayly, Frankton’s wing, collared him on the line. Skelton was the pick of the Frankton backs and played his best game this season. His only drawback is lack of speed. Clarkin, who distinguished himself with excellent kicking in a match with City some weeks ago, was off colour on Saturday. He is still one of the snappiest of Marist’s backs. Mills, Marist five-eighth, showed flashes of brilliant play, but his performance taken all round was very erratic. H. Charleston, J. Hooper and Priscott were strong factors in sustaining the Frankton victory. SOUTH AUCKLAND In view of the fact that the South Auckland inter-sub-union maUlies commence on July 7, the selectors in the constituent sub-unions of Pukekohe, Franklin, Manukau, Waiuku and Waikare, will in all probability be announcing the representatives in a few days’ time. At present it is rather a difficult matter to gauge the relative strengths of the rep. teams, but on the other hand, it may be taken for granted that the Franklin fifteen will take a deal of beating. Pukekohe, Waiuku and Manukau promise to field good teams. The Waikare team will undoubtedly create a surprise once it is in action. The captain of the Maori All Black team of a few years back, Wattie Barclay, is playing in this area, in addition to another native All Black. Both a reported to be in splendid form, and besides playing, they are coaching their colleagues in the finer points of the code. On a recent evening, Mr. C. L. Moffitt, who has been actively associated with the Pukekohe Rugby Referees’ Association for a number of years, was farewelled by his colleagues. In making the presentation of a silver cigarette case, inscribed, on behalf of the association, the president, Mr. C. Lauer, spoke highly of the valuable assistance rendered by Mr. Moffitt in the way of refereeing matches and lecturing upon the rules of Rugby. Other speakers included Mr. F. H. Hewitt, association secretary, and Mr. W. J. Short, Pukekohe Union secretary. Mr. Moffitt. who has been transferred to the Auckland office of the Union Bank of Australia, will, no doubt, reassociate himself with the Auckland Referees’ Association. WAIHI The following team will represent Waihi against Paeroa at Paeroa next Saturday in the Poland Cup: Warne, I McDermott, Thornton, Garvey, Dillamore, Saunders, Snodgrass, Price,

Craig, Polley, Walters, Robinson, Rolleston, Pankhurst, Agnew; emergencies, Peacock, Radford, McNamara. Under the auspices of the Waihi Rugby Union, two senior games were played in the Cup competitions on Saturday, Athletics defeating Waikino by eight points to three, and Mataura and Katikati playing a draw, three-all. The latter game, played at Katikati, was a willing encounter, with very little between the teams. Dillamore scored a try for Mataura in the first half, and Price kicked a penalty goal for Katikati in the second half. Mr. J. Atkinson was referee. BAY OF ISLANDS Kaikohe played Waihou on Saturday and played a drawn game, 3 points each. Kawakawa visited Okaihau and was defeated 15 points to nil. The home pack was too clever for the visitors, being successful in obtaining possession of the ball in most scrums. The halfback, Spring, gave a good exposition of a half’s game, both in attack and defence, showing plenty of ability in collaring and bringing down his man. He took every advantage of the pack getting the ball and set a splendid lot of backs in motion, the best of whom were Davies (captain), Te Haara, Repia and Greeves. Of the forwards, G. King, E. Cook and Dargaviile were the best. The luck was all against Kawakawa, although the Clark brothers, with Cherrington and McLaughlin, were the outstanding forwards. Of the backs Groves was easily the best in the team. McCrae (captain) was decidedly off his game. Lennon, at fiveeighths, had a tendency to hold on too long, thus losing splendid opportunities for his side. The goal-kicking of both teams was a failure during the game, the ball not being piloted over the bar once, although there were three “posters.” Unless the unforeseen occurs, Okaihau with their lead should be the champion team. The juniors have completed their second round, with Kaikohe in the lead. HAURAKI PLAINS The following players have been selected to represent Hauraki Plains on Saturday next in the inter sub-union competition matches against Piako: Seniors. —Full-back, J. Hedley, Patetonga; threequarters, F. Costello (Patetonga), H. Wright (Kerepeehi), W. Williams (Ngatea); five-*eighths, J. McPherson (Ngatea), L. Clotworthy (Turua); halfback, J. Catlin (Turua); rover, K. Fox (Turua); forwards, L. Kilgour (Patetonga), A. Kelk (Turua), R. C. Abel (Ngatea), R. Hutchinson (Kerepeehi), F. Mulgrew (Kerepeehi), A. Courtney (Kerepeehi), A. Fisher (Turua). Emergencies: Backs, C. Stretton (Waitakaruru), P. Reti (Ngatea), M. Madgwick (Turua); forwards, J. Dobbs (Waitakaruru), R. Fisher (Kerepeehi) and R. Benny (Patetonga). Mr. G. Connell’s bus will leave Waitakaruru at noon, Ngatea at 12.30 p.m., Turua at 12.45, and Kerepeehi corner at 1 p.m. The junior team to play Piako at Ngatea in the second match of the Sharebrokers’ Cup competition is as follows: F. B. F. Scott (Turua), threequarters; J. Donagh (Ngatea), F. Marshall (Turua), S. Rangi (Kerepeehi); five-eighths, J. Marshall (Turua), J. Thompson (Kerepeehi); halfback, H. Spinks (Ngatea); rover, S. McKerchar (Ngatea) ; forwards, T. White (Turua), Masters (Ngatea). S. Nicholson (Kerepeehi), F. Hamilton (Kerepeehi), J. Hartley (Ngatea). W. Elvin (Turua), W. Hutchinson (Turua). Emergencies: H. Mayne (Ngatea), McCormack (Turua), A. Nicholson (Kerepeehi), H. Barriball (Ngatea). DARGAVILLE In a clean, fast representative match played at Rugby Park, Dargaviile, on Saturday, Northern Wairoa A grade defeated Whangarei by 14 points to 8. The weather was ideal for football, and there was a record attendance of spectators. The match was one of the best yet seen on the “river.” It was a hard forward game, with frequent dashes of back play, reverse passing being very much in evidence. The Northern Wairoa forwards were outstanding in some good loose and tight play. Gould, Jones, Rika, Watson and Oldfield played without mistake, Watson being the outstanding player on the ground. This player has no superior as a forward in North Auckland. Hopkins, an old Varsity player, proved a big acquisition to the local side, playing a steady and very useful game as half. Hopkins, by the way, was skipper of the team, and his judicious handling of his men was, no doubt, a large contributing factor toward the local team’s success. Playing a good game in spasms, Harris spoilt a certain try for Northern Wairoa through being “greedy.” A few yards from the goal-line Harris essayed to get over with Whangarei hot on his trail, instead of passing the leather to one of his colleagues more advantageously placed. His tactics brought him to earth, and left his home side lamenting. A nippy player is Shortland, the Whangarei half. He played a useful game for his side, and, apparently, has lost none of his dash since playing with the Maori “All Blacks” that toured France some time back. Whangarei, in the back division, showed splendid combination. The team, as a whole, played a creditable game, and, considering that a number of emergencies filled the gaps in their originally selected team it may be said “they were defeated but not disgraced.” Sundberg (Northern Wairoa) played his usual good game and is dependable. O’Shea showed to advantage in the Whangarei forwards. PUKEKOHE. The largest assembly of spectators for the season was witnessed on Saturday, when the Pukekohe Rugby Sub-Union’s inter-club competitions were concluded. The rival teams, Power Board and White Star, took the field with even honours in the championship ladder, and after a keen contest Power Board emerged the victors by a one-point win, the final scores being Power Board 6, White Star 8. With three minutes to go in the final stanza, the Star fifteen was two points up. The “Sparks,” as Power Board is more familiarly known, made the pace hot, and after an uphill fight were rewarded. Stoupe, who proved to be the hero of the match, secured from a kick following a scrum, and after an elusive break was successful in putting his team one up, thus winning the Gardes Shield for the second season in succession. At the conclusion of the first round, Power Board had not been defeated, but in the second round it drew with White Star on one occasion, and was defeated by Ramlers once. In the third round, the latter team made history repeat itself. As far as club football in Pukekohe is concerned, the curtain has been officially rung down, and it concluded with a grand finale. A knock-out competition will be played next Saturday, and the South Auckland inter-sub-union matches will commence on July 7. The Ramblers’ team was defeated by Patumahoe by five points to nil. the latter registering its first win for the season. In the junior division. Ramblers continued its unbeaten record, and placed itself in an unassailable position for the championship. The High School and Wesley College juniors drew with (

a score of 3-all. High School’s thirds defeated Patumahoe by eight, to three, while the Ramblers-Wesley match was not played. WAIUKU The Waiuku Rugby Union matches were continued on Saturday, when the two leading teams maintained their respective positions. In the first match Aka Aka defeated Otaua by 5 points to 0 in a very evenly-contested game. The winner’s score came from a clearing kick by G. Hickey hitting one of the Aka Aka players and Massey, seizing the opportunity, snatched up to get a try, which was converted by Wright. In defeating Waipipi, the City team had much the better of the contest, and good passing rushes often started by Arkle, the City half-back, saw B. James, McGarvey and A. James pushing Waipipi to a hard defence. For City, J. Bregmen scored a try and McGarvey scored two tries, the latter one being the result of a fine individual run, which the opposition seemed powerless to prevent. B. James converted one try. The score by Waipipi resulted from a good dribbling rush to near the line, where Dyer snapped up converted by Malloy. With only one ; more match to play in the competition, the positions of the teams are: —Aka Aka, 11 points; City, 10 points; Waipipi, 8 points; and Otaua, 3 points. Next Saturday Aka Aka plays Waipipi and City meets Otaua. MORRINSVILLE The first match this season for the Finlay Cup, played between Morrinsville (holders) and Waipa, was a repetition of that of last season, with one difference. Last season a draw was a fair indication of the play. On Saturday Waipa should undoubtedly have won. The visiting forwards outplayed Morrinsville. Waipa must be termed unlucky in drawing two seasons running. The Finlay Cup was presented to the Waikato Union by Mr. G. P. Finlay for competition between sub-unions, and the holders at the end of each season have their names inscribed thereon. The names already engraved are Maniapoto, Cambridge, Matamata and Morrinsville. The next to challenge will be Cambridge, Matamata and Putaruru in that order.? “Ginger” Thomas, the Waikato fullback, who got into the final All Black trials last season, is playing great football again. On Saturday in the final few minutes of the Finlay Cup game, Morrinsville v. Waipa, he was called upon for some solid defence and got through it well. Right on time two men were celar and Thomas had to tackle both to avert the winning points. There promises to be great keenness in the Peace Cup competition this season. Several country unions have an idea that they are up to the Hamilton representative (holders) standard. The Peace Cup is open for competition by sub-unions in the Auckland Province, but up to this year it has been competed for chiefly by Hamilton, Thames, Cambridge, Morrinsville and Franklin. Thames, Cambridge and Hamilton have been the only holders. The Matamata Union is said to possess an outstanding back this season in Jack Vosper, who learned his football at King’s College. Shrewd judges state that he is a cut above the general country back, and will have to be considered for Waikato before the season is out. At present he is opening up attacks for the Matamata representatives. Albert Story, who also represented King’s, is in the same team. ROTORUA Rotorua (8) v. Te Puke (6). In a representative junior match played for the Shalfoon Shield, the premier trophy of the Bay of Plenty Rugby Union for junior football, Rotorua, the holders, successfully defended the trophy by 8 points to six against Te Puke. The latter was easily the heavier team, but the Rotorua backs in the early stages dominated the play and outplayed their heavier opponents. The Rotorua backs played well, particularly A. Mitchell, G. Mitchell, Kingi and Potene. Styles was easily the best forward on the ground. His fast following up and tackling were a feature of the game. Murray was the best Te Puke player. KING COUNTRY The following team has been chosen to represent the South King Country in the representative match against North King Country on June 30: Fullback, Clemett (R.); threequarters, Bidell (O.), Hill (T.), W. Jones (T.); five-eighths, Weinberg (O.), Plank (R.); halfback, Nicols (O.); rover, Banks (T.); forwards, Brown (R.), R. Rush (R.), Hislop (T.), Skilton (T.), Cavanagh (R.), Jones (O.), Eden (T). Emergencies: Forwards, Fitt (O.), Moffitt (T.); backs, Carlson (T.), Haddon (T.). Th© Bush Union has advised the King Country Union that owing to the impossibility of securing a full team to go on tour, the representative match between the two unions, fixed for July 11, cannot take place. Two rattling good senior tussles were witnessed between teams under the Taumarunui Sub-union on Saturday, when Tokaanu (a fairly new combination) defeated Owhango by 11 points to 9, and Athletic put Manunui down by 9 to 3. In the latter match play was very hard, but clean all through, and there were several breaks in the time owing to players being temporarily out of action. TE PUKE On Saturday the Rotorua football representatives, captained by Walter Scott, visited Te Puke. The game was played in glorious weather. The home team managed to notch its first victory for the season, defeating the visitors by 13 to three. Te Puke forwards took up the attack right from th© commencement of the game. Rotorua backs defended well, their fullback putting in some fine kicks. Rotorua then took play up to Te Puke’s line. Here Te Puke were penalised and W. Scott kicked the goal. The home team then rallied to the attack. C. Donovan managed to score for Te Puke. The shot at goal was not successful. A few minutes after this Donovan again scored and McKenzie converted. After half-time Te Puke’s forwards, led by Donovan and Rampton, pushed Rotorua hard. Rampton managed to score and McKenzie converted. The game ended with the score of 13-3. For Te Puke Donovan, Rampton, Malcolm and Barker did some solid work for the forwards, while McKenzie and Bennett worked well in the backs. The visitors’ display was not as impressive as might have been expected. W. Scott did most of the forward play, while N. Steele put in some good runs in the back division. Mr. E. H. Audley controlled the game. LEAGUE HUNTLY The seniors from Huntly were very lucky to get the decision over Ngaruawahia on Saturday, for the latter had every bit the better of the game on the day. For Huntly, Stan Rayner went to fullback, his brother George to threequarter. This was a good move, the last line of defence being a solid one and Stan repeatedly saved the situation, in addition to kicking three penalty goals, to make Huntly’s score 6 against a good try by Tittleton from a lovely opening by Williams for Ngaruawahia. Mr. Arthur Harlock refereed. Huntly was short of Wiri Mipi and Smith (the latter being still on the injured list). Jones played half and was just as at home in that position as if in the pack. S. Rayner was easily the pick of the winner’s backs, while Stephenson and Timms were out on their own in front, though Grooby was noted for good tackling. Of the losers. Williams played a rattling good game and Tittleton played his usual consis-

tent football. Mewsies and Daley were the pick of the vanguard, the former is a very improved player and must not be overlooked in future big matches. The juniors played Glenmassey and went down by 11 to 3 in a game not characterised by clean play, nor a minimum of argument. There was altogether too much talk, and Mr. Alf. Rayner, who refereed, would not have exceeded his powers if a few had been sent to the side-line. Hamilton (3) scraped home by a try to nothing against Taupiri, in which it was anybody’s game till the whistle blew. SOCCER HUNTLY The final match to decide the premiership of the South Auckland Association, and the team to play Auckland, took place on the recreation ground at Huntly on Saturday. Pukemiro United beat Huntly by the odd goal in three after the best game ever played on the Thistle ground. Mr. Baillie, of Hamilton, refereed. As a spectachlar game, it was “the goods,” and had the game been played on the recreation ground (which is very much faster), the fans would have had a day out, but the Rugby authorities were adamant, and could not be moved in their decision “to have and to hold” the aforestated recreation area. But the large crowd was not disappointed, and as United was only one up at half time, there were no early departures from the ground, interest being maintained to the close. Bob Dodds and Latimer were the “go-getters” for the winners, and Arthur Hall for th© upended eleven. The latter’s goal was a most peculiar one. Caldwell shot and Hasell stopped, the former rushing in again to shoot, missed the ball and caught th«» goalie instead, the ball bouncing to the side, and Arthur Hall, standing close in, ran it through and into th* net, a lucky score. The outstanding performance was the work of the Huntly goalkeeper, the Rev. Hindmarsh. The reverend gentleman’s display was of the finished order, and time and again he saved his side from disaster; in fact a better exhibition of goal-keeping has not been seen since Tom Allsopp’s days, when the long goalie used to thrill his audiences with clever saving. Of the other losing players, Ted Hall was excellent and it is hard to understand why this consistent player was overlooked by the selectors. Hedley and Davies were all right in the half line and Diddle played perhaps his best game this season. For the victors Tom Dodds and Robertson were the stars of the backs, and of a good, reliable front lot who harmonised like peaches and cream. Bob Dodds and Latimer were perhaps the king-pins, though it might be unfair to individualise. It was a great game and a fitting final, marred by an accident to Jim

Hall early in the game. Huntly was thus a man short for the rest of the match, and under those circumstances the losers are to be given credit for playing an uphill game against such a formidable team, for six of the winners have been selected to represent South Auckland against Hawke’s Bay next Saturday in the Brown Shield contest. The selected of South Auckland are as follow: Goal: Schonau; fullbacks, McKinstry and Tom Dodds; halves, Gardner, Deacon (Claudelands) and W. Moon; forwards, P. Hunter, Bate, Latimer, A. Black, R. Dodds. Reserves: English and Alex Moon. The outstanding feature is that the whole of the front line is composed of players from one team, Pukemiro Junction United, and that factor should make for a good combination forward. A pleasing feature is the inclusion of the youngsters, Deacon, of Claudelands, and Bob Bate, of Huntly. Both these lads have been playing well this season, and their appearance in big football is awaited with interest. The selectors for the S.A.F.A. were present and after the match selected the representative team to meet Hawke’s Bay. Claudeland Rovers beat Pukemiro on the latter’s ground by 2-1. There was a poor attendance owing to the Chatham Cup district final. Mr. David Johnson refereed. WAIHI In the Goldfields Cup competition, Kerepeehi fielded a weak team against Waihi Rovers at Waihi on Saturday, and fell an easy victim to the local team by five goals to nil. At no stage of the game was the football of a high order, the Rovers simply toying with their opponents throughout the 90 minutes. For the winners, Heard scored two goals, Coward two and Sleeman one. Mr. R. Seath was referee. r HOCKEY TAURANGA The Tauranga Hockey Association will be represented at the provincial competitions next month at Auckland by the following girls’ team: —L. Kennedy, E. Ford, D. Macnamara, E. Tollamache, F. Kennedy, R. Kennedy, B. Turner, N. Lloyd, J. Merriemen, W. Wright, C. Merriemen. Sport from the Thames will be represented at Tauranga on July 14, when the Thames seniors—the High School and the Primary School Football Clubs —will be sending teams. A hockey and a basketball team will also be over. An excursion is to run from the Thames to Tauranga, and given a fine day there should be a large number of Thames visitors here. WAIHI The meeting of Waihi representatives and Hauraki Plains B team on the Waihi Recreation Ground on Saturday resulted in a fast, clean game, with th© Plains team winners by one goal to nil. The teams were evenly matched, with Plains showing the bet-

ter combination and Waihi more forceful in open play. The most outstanding player on the field was Miss Smith, of the Hauraki team, her stick work being exceedingly neat. The pick of the Waihi girls were Miss Carter, Miss Fegan and Miss Morton. Mr. E. McCarthney controlled the game. FRANKLIN Teams representing the West End and East End met at Waiuku on Saturday and after a very keenly contested game West End won by 3 goals to 2. For the winners, M. Brown 2 and Matuschka 1 found the net, while D. Preece and E>. Hyde each scored for East End. An A and B trial game was played by the men and, after an uninteresting display, the result was a draw with one goal each. McNamara scored for the A team, the B score being obtained by Brown. The selectors, Messrs. H. Hay, N. Hodgkinson and L. Codlin, have selected the following teams to represent Franklin in the Provincial Cup and the White Horse competition to be played at Auckland: Provincial Cup.—A team: Misses D. Clark, S. Renals, J. Nicholson, M. Thomson, N. Thomson, E>. Care, I. Kerebs, E>. Luke, G. Masters, G. Cole-Baker, M. Brown, C. Preece, S. Matuschka and K. McNaughton. B team: Misses M. Walsh, A. Coffey, M. McEwen, L. Kerebs, R. McKinney, M. Munro, E. Jarvie, I. Renall, Ngataka, E. Kinlock, D. Hyde, V. Hyde, E. Graham and E. Masters. White Horse Team. —H. Wassell, N. Connelly, R. Grice, J. Powell, W. Devereaux, E. Smith, C. Cooper, W. Green, T. Conroy, R. McNamara (Kohekohe), L. McNamara, R. McNamara (Whiri Whiri), Saddleton and W. Robinson. TE AWAMUTU The following women’s team has been chosen to represent Waipa in the Auckland Country Week Tournament, which commences on Monday next: Misses T Irwin (T<f Awamutu), L. Chirney and R. Spiers (Paterangi), J, Bellamy (Te Kuiti), N. McCready (Otorohanga), W. Wallace (Te Awamutu), H. Stout (Te Kuiti), K. Macky (Paterangi), L. Leatham, A. Hyde (Otorohanga), G. Bell (Paterangi), E. Tomlins (Otorohanga), M. Macky (Paterangi) and I. Martin (Otorohanga). The following team will represent Waipa girls against King Country at Te Awamutu on Wednesday next: Misses Irwin, Bellamy, Spiers, Tomlins McCready, Wallace, Stout, M. Macky] K. Macky, Hyde and Bell.
