Rugby HAMILTON After the previous week’s massacre j there was a refreshing change in local I Rugby on Saturday. Old Hoys and ! Frankton obtained clear-cut wins over Technical Old Hoys and Marist, rei spectively. Fast, spectacular play made the Old : Boys-Technical affray well worth i watching. There was little wrong with 1 the winning team’s backs who handled ! briskly and kept things moving contin- • ually. Hawke has never kicked better i and he added 11 points. Ex-All Black | Tuck survived close marking and i played up to scratch. R. Johnstone is a wing whose future is full of promise. J. Bonham is a good forward, but is still two exuberant. “Buzz” Wilson and Chapman were useiul in the tight stuff on Saturday. A glance at Technical shows plenty of likely material wasting through lack of combination. Mitchell, although a great general, still gets away with shady stuff. Irving frequently starved the outside men. Only two of the backs understand each other —Dalbeth and A St. George. Technical has no out standing forwards as yet. Its tackling was good, but that was all. Robinson, who was ordered off at the finish got what was coming to him. The match in which Frankton had an 8-point margin over Marist was hard, forward battling, and the backs chiefly had an off day. There were few rearguard movements, but even in this department the railway players pievailed. All Black McWilliams mar* I shalled his men capably and was up to I usual form. W. Baylv followed up well I and Henry Charleston deserves high pj aise for his steady, useful plodding. Barlow, the fullback, fumbled more than once, but showed his good flashes. Benz, the nippy half, was favoured with good hookers and was as efficient as ever. The Marist hacks did not have many chances. Delaney played his first game this season and acquitted himself well as custodian. P. Clarkin opened up play at times and Mills, the half, took a hand though he was well watched. The Marist forwards were kept defending all the time. Waters j and H. McCormack impressed in the pack. TE AROHA Tlio Hot Springs and Wailiou teams met on the Te Aroha Domain on Saturday. By_ dashing play Woodroofe got into the Terrier 25, where from a free-kick I the ball went over to Tremain, who sprinted away until stopped by Arkle. This was followed by McLaren snapping up the oval, passing to Rare, who transferred to Johnson, who kicked out. From a loose forward rush, and by speedy lollowing-up, Clarkin crossed the line at the corner, leaving the scores: Wailiou 5, Hot Springs, 3. Wailiou retaliated and Lipsey scored. Rare registering the extra points. Wailiou, 10, Hot Springs On resuming after half-time up-and-down play was followed by Woodroofe scoring in brilliant style. Waihou 10, Hot Springs 6. Waihou forwards, with excellent combination, forced the play well downfield, where McLaren was instrumental in making an opening from which Tremain scored, and McLaren converted. Waihou 15, Hot Springs O'. Both sides played up vigorously in the final quarter, and just before the call of time Johnson scored a welldeserved try. TE AWAMUTU As Te Awamutu seniors had a bye in the competition a match was arranged with a team from Otorohanga, the game ending in a win for the former by 27 points to, 0. Te Awamutu dominated the play from the start and never gave its opponents a chance. Griggs, L. Spiers, Wilkes and Martin were the pick of the backs, while all the forwards played well. The junior contest between Te Awamutu and Rovers ended in a victory for Te , Awamutu by 19 points to G, after a somewhat disappointing exhibition. Rovers proved too good for Pirongia, winning by 21 points to 3, in the contest for the senior championship. The forwards were evenly matched, but Rovers’ backs handled the ball to better advantage, although they did not put their usual dash into the play. The Pirongia backs were only fair and lacked combination, E. Bell being the only one to show out. Mr. Callis was referee. MATAMATA Mataraata defeated Walton in a fast game at Matamata on Saturday by 21 points to 3. Carlson (2), Kneebone, Short and Story scored tries, three of which were converted. W. Carroll kicked a penalty goal for the losers. Dashing attacks by the winners’ backs were a feature of the game and the Walton rearguard was unable to stop them. Short was the outstanding forward on the field and he is also a fine place-kick. Egan, Story, Davies and Carlson linked well as inside men and most of these will be found in the representative team. Patetere is leading in the local competition with three wins and no losses. The next meeting between it and Matamata will arouse a lot of local interest. All games within the jurisdiction of the Matamata Union were played under the old rules on Saturday. DARGAVILLE United seniors defeated Northern Star, 14 points to 3, at Rugby Park on Saturday, the scores giving a fair indication of the respective merits of the teams. Tries for United were scored by J. White (2), R. Somers and Panapa., while Foy converted one. For Star, Bob Williams * kicked a penalty goal. The winners showed to advantage in their combination work, while the hooker, Wilson, got the ball away from the scrums (most of them being in United’s favour) with an alertness that proved his capabilities in this position. Foy (fullback) was good, and, in fact, the team as a whole played well. * “Sonny** Williams was again prominent for Star. This team would prove more successful if some of its players were less “greedy” with the ball. Combination work was lacking to a great extent to Star’s disadvantage. Mr. X. Robinson was referee. At Ruawai, Dargaville seniors were defeated by Ruawai, the latter scoring 6 to nil. Tango wall ine won after a good tussle with Southern, at Tangowaliine, the scores being 15 to 14. ROTORUA On its own ground at Mamaku that team was not quite clever enough to beat P.'W.D., which won out on a narrow margin of 3 points to nil. The game was fast and interesting throughout and P.W.D. deserved its win in the face of block barracking for the home team The Waikite-City match was some thing of a surprise, City holding off its opponents by fine forward play. Waikite has not yet been beaten on the piayng held. Up to the last quarter they led by 3 to nil, but then their backs settled down and the score quickly mounted to 11 to nil. City scored just on time, a gruelling, though never interesting match, ending 11—5.

PUKEKOHE j The recent decision of the South | Auckland Rugby Union to change over to New Zealand rules was | brought into effect by the Pukekohe j Sub-Union on Saturday. After playing Auckland amended rules for so many years, the confusion which followed among players and linesmen — and even referees—was only to be expected. It is evident that some schooling is required. Two senior matches attracted a large crowd to the Domain to witness the third series of games. Ramblers defeated White Star by 19 to 8. and United registered its first win of the season by beating the Maori team, Kia Ora, by 37 to 5. At Patumahoe, the Old Boys had their third win when they defeated the Patumahoe stalwarts to the tune of 13—3. The clash between the old rival clubs, Ramblers and White Star, was not responsible for anything bright in the way of spectacular work—in fact, it was a drab exhibition, and resulted in a tussle between the packs for the greater part. Stars commenced merrily, and up to half-time they saw most of the ball, and had the upper hand. However, after the spell, Ramblers struck form, and piled on the points in fairly quick succession, to finish 11 points up. Of the winning side, G. Brownlee, who has worn both the Pukekohe and South Auckland representative jerseys, was easily the best back. J. Wood, second fiveeighth, was well below his usual form and he will have to work harder to gain representative honours this season with so many good backs offering. W. Pleydell, who was installed as rover, gave a good account o.fi himself since the abolition of the Auckland rules, and the imaginary line through the scrum. Roy Fulton, a South Auckland hooker, and a Maori, Nathan, worked untiringly in the pack. Again, F. Brown proved to be the star back of the White Star team. If he maintains his present form and speed ho is a “cert” for the reps. On the whole, the losing side’s backs were weak. Fred Golding, the captain, who usually hooks alongside Fulton in Soutli Auckland matches, was by far the best forward. He was, however, ably supported by Harlick. MORRINSVILLE The first round of the Morrinsville Union’s senior champoniship was completed on Saturday. The most attractive fixture was the clash of Kereone and Tatuanui, both undefeated teams. Although Kereone. was expected to win, the result —11 points in its favour—was rather surprising, Tho Tatuanui pack is not up to the strength of last year, and shows lack of coaching. The backs are stronger. Kereone is a uniform team, with a Gibraltar at fullback in S. Thomas. The United - Terrier game resulted in Terriers being defeated, 15—G. United is improving, each match, and may still come on to be the hardest team Kereone will have to meet. Speculation is now rife as regards the season’s,rep. team. The forwards will be quite as strong, if not stronger, than last year. If Vangioni stays, he will improve the back division. Morrinsville has yet to find a rover to come up to R. Howard’s calibre, while the halfback position is still doubtful. Congratulations are extended to S. Thomas (Morrinsville) on being included in the North Island trial game. His kicking has improved, so he may go further. HUNTLY The Waiterimu senior Rugby contest with Roto war o was a very onesided affair, the former going under by 3G to nil. It is said that the winning team is turning over to the League game, and that the match with Waiterimu was its last under the 15-a-side code. Te Hoe, nine, beat Huntly, and Gordonton pegged 14 to 3 by Ngaruawahia. In the junior matches Gordonton just landed tho goods by 9-6 against Renown. Glen Afton beat Taupiri by six points to nil, and Huntly went down by 10-0 against Ngaruawahia. Tho remaining fixture, Woodleigh and Te Hoe, resulted in a narrow win for the former. WAIUKU City met with stubborn defence against Aka Aka at Massey Bark on Saturday, and the result, G paints. to 4, in its favour, was hard earned. At half-time Aka Aka led by 4 points to 3 and City’s win came when G. Arkle broke away with a good dribbling rush, which upset the Aka Aka defence, and Bayne, following, picked up tlio leather to pass to Dunlop, who finished up a very nice movement to score. Aka Aka’s score was obtained by bad judgment by W. Pleydell. From a free-kick near the City goalline lie gave a short punt for Custen to receive and calmly pot a goal. At the Racecourse Reserve Otaua proved much too good for Waipipiand ran out an easy winner by 21 points to 3. The Otaua forwards were superior to its opponents, which allowed the backs to have free action. PAPATOETOE REFEREES The inadvisability of appointing local referees to control matches was fully illustrated on Saturday, when a local referee was allocated the Papatoetoe v. Panmure third open grade match at Papatoetoe. The local team, under the circumstances, endeavoured to play the game, and commit as few breaches as possible, in which they were successful, while the visitors were not above trying to gain the advantage under any circumstances; and when a penalty was awarded against them, a multitude of protests .was broadcast from both the players and supporters alike. Mr. X. H. Tunnicliffe, the referee concerned, is an ex-player, and a keen supporter of the code for a number of years, and has probably forgotten more points about the game than his critics of Saturday will ever know, and his decisions on Saturday, were easy to follow, and were given impartially, but the sooner the Referees’ Association ceases to appoint local referees to control the games under its jurisdiction the better it will be for the referees concerned, and the game in general. MANUKAU UNION The Manukau Rugby Sub-Union competition started on Saturday when Clevedon defeated Whitford at Whit ford by 30 points to 3. Papakura defeated Drury by 14 to 6. Manurewa defeated Clevedon Juniors at Clevedon, 11 —3. The Papakura-Drury match started very scraggily. At one stage of the first half Drury had 16 men on the field. This was soon noticed, and after a count by the referee one man was sent to the side-line. Drury has some nippy backs this season, Stoupe and Rickards on their present form should be certainties for the representatives. Hamilton, for Papakura drew first blood. The kick at goal missed. There was no further score at half-time. At this stage W. Smith, of Papa-

kura, retired with an injured rib and was replaced by W. K. Francis. Play had not been long in progress when Taylor for Papakura secured and pul in a good run along the side-line and transferred to McGuire, who out in a j determined run to score well, but the 1 kick missed. Papakura again invaded Drury. H. ; Brookes attempted to clear, but Quig- ; ley secured and galloped over at the corner. Francis goaled—ll—t). Drury then secured. Stoupe sent on to T. Cossev to Richards to B. Cossey, who scored wide out. T. Cossey missed the posts. —11 —3. Xot Long after, the same players repeated the dose, and Taylor failed to raise the flags. The last quarter Was quiet. In the last five minutes C. Ross secured and put in a good run and scored wide out. The game ended 14—6, in Papakura’s Papakura benefited by the inclusion of A. and K. Stewart, W. Elates, J. Quiglev. and C. Taylor from Ilunua, which is* unable to field a team. The outstanding players of the day were stoupe anti Richards, of Drury. THAMES Open but rather ragged Rugby was served up to Thames followers on Saturday when Physical Training beat College Old Boys by eight to seven The black and whites’ score was made up of a try by Cameron and a try foy Harrison which Cameron converted. The whites had Ray Buchan to thank for a spectacular potted goal from 49 yards out and Les White scored a dashing try. For all that the game was close, the brand of Rugby was disappointing, there being too much aimless kicking and wild passing, while it was not helped by referee Yedder allowing Harrison to get away with a good many “shepherding” movements. However, at times, both teams gave flashes of the bright open game which attracts the crowd. Old Boys in particular launching several nice passing rushes, most of which started at Wells, but broke down on the magpies’ line. Physical Training miss Bill Pollock, last year’s rep. rover, and Johnny Strange is not nearly his equal. Wells having the edge on him most of the game. The forwards were about evenly matched in weight, but Old Boys hooked the more consistently, but the ball stuck in the back row. “Wally” Brunton, the Old Boys’ skipper, led the pack well and together with Phil Clark (who was nominated for All Black honours) headed the bulk of the invasions into Physical Training’s territory. Roy Buchan at fullback played an exceptionally safe game. His line-kicking lias greatly improved since last season and he will be hard to keep out of the rep. teams. Charlie Cameron, the Physical Training’s “utility”* man, who takes any position in the field, played, a nice allround game. On the College Old Boys’ side the Percy brothers are showing solid form in the pack, while Macdonald, a fast winger, is settling down to know the team and may prove a bit of a find. INTER-SUB-UNION DRAW The senior inter-sub-union South competitions are to commence on July 5. The draw is: July s.—Manukau v. Pukekohe, at Papakura; Franklin v. Waikare, at Tuakau; Waiuku, a bye.

League HUNTLY The fans rolled out in great numbers on Saturday, for everyone wajs anxious to see tlae Maori team in action, and the reputed strong teams of the Ngaruawahia Club. Patrons were not disappointed from the view of sparkling League, for Ngaruawahia s two teams played with the combination of a season’s play and at times the ball was thrown about in masterly fashion. The A team trounced Huntly B by 26 to nil. and the B team upended the Maoris by 14 to o and the score should have been twice 14 for the finishing dash so necessary to put paid to a good concerted action was missing. . Reverting to the first game, which Mr. Herb Rayner controlled, the Maori combination is a good one. Wiri JVLiki is the captain, and in the team there is his brother Pat (one of the cleverest Leaguers at putting the “dummy” over), “Brownie” Paki, Heta Terawhiti (a very promising back), Ben Sam (fullback), and a good man, too, with all his football career in front of him; but George Karena in front stood out. This lad is the makings of a top-notcher and is very quick to anticipate an opposing movement. Jack Waikato plays sound League. The native team will be in the limelight before the competition is over, and that artful old player, Tonga Mahuta, is the guide, philosopher and friend of the Maori boys, and if Tonga’s enthusiasm for the code counts for anything, his boys will be knocking at the door at the end of the competition. If the team can place Mipi and Paki in the five-eighth line and get a winger to complete the line, there is going to be trouble for the remaining teams in any contests with the Maoris. Eluntly B seniors fielded a rather mixed team against Ngaruawahia A, which latter included the versatile Abbott, Geo. Tittleton, Kelly, Menzies and Co. Abbott in particular made one very spectacular breakaway, and he starts off briskly, for he comes from the stock of a running family. In naming Walter Tittleton, H. Elill and Williams it is not deemed any reflection on the others, but this trio put in a good afternoon’s work with credit. For Huntly Timms, as of old, was in everything, though playing out of position. Knapper was sound and if he had more pace to spring off would be a good Leaguer, for he is quick-witted, and Whorsker is a player who will be heard of in League circles in the near future. Briefly summarised, combination and experience account for the decisive victory recorded against Huntly. The old Huntly League team of previous years has been reorganised into three, viz., Maoris, Huntly A and B teams. Half of the old players are in the A thirteen, and the other in the B side, a commendable spirit which Ngafuawahia could well emulate. HAMILTON Clean, fast and open play characterised the first encounter of the season between Hamilton and Huntly A at Hinemoa Park. Ideal weather conditions prevailed, but the ground was on the hard side. Both sides took too many liberties owing to the indulgence of the referee. Huntly showed a better knowledge of the finer points of the game, but its defence broke down under the repeated attacks of the home side. The final score was 24-10 in favour of Hamilton. In the Huntly team Roberts was inclined to hang on too long. All the backs tackled well when the fight was hottest. Kosoof was satisfactory at five-eighth and Knight watched his openings at half. Of the Hamilton side the Muir brothers played soundly and J. Muir promises well for the season, is. Muir defended in competent style. Quinn showed a good boot, while Hogan and Glasgow shaped well on attack.

Soccer HAMILTON Huntly-Thistle journeyed to Hamilton on Saturday, and was defeated by the Wanderers at Seddon Park by three goads to two. The home side dominated play until midway in the second half, when the visitors showed better form, and made a recovery which .might have put them on even terms had it come earlier. Deacon, the Hamilton back, was undoubtedly the best man on the field, and used hie head effectively in tight corners Rogers was also on his game, and showed the opposition a few points There was some good material in the Huntly team, Stirling coming to the fore with useful work in attack and defence. HUNTLY Huntly did not enter a team in the senior competition at the start of the season, but a number of the old supporters rallied together, and it is quite on the cards that they will be found playing again. All Soccer enthusiasts heard with regret of the approaching departure of Mr. George Cox, the Association secretary, for the South. He has been a tower of strength to the code in the Waikato, and his place will be a hard one to fill. Pukemiro had the best of the argument against Rotowaro, running out winners by four to one. Weather conditions were a trifle warm, with the ground hard, and both teams were pleased to hear the final whistle. Mr. Prank Lockie refereed. Better combined work by the winners gave them the victory, for they went hard from the whistle, and early in the contest put two goals into the net. Pukemiro deserve the honours, for they lost Phil Hunter and Bennie just after starting. The losers, under these circumstances, put up a creditable performance. Hockey THAMES'HAURAKI Started three seasons ago with two teams the Thames-Hauraki Hockey Association has just held its annual meeting with five clubs represented, a credit balance and bright prospects for the future. The annual report and the balance sheet which showed a credit of just over £3O were adopted. The election of officers resulted in the return of the majority of last year’s officials unopposed. Those elected were: Patron, Mr. J. G. Miller; president, Mr. L. Crawford-Watson; secretary, Mr. G. McLeod; treasurer, Mr. P. Jensen; executive, Messrs. P. Jensen, J. Cartwright, T. Field, R. Muller, W. Aldis, D. Brazendale, B. Miller, L Crawford-Watson and G. McLeod. The question of selectors provoked considerable discussion, a sole selector being the final decision. An invitation is being extended to Tauranga to visit Thames on June 3. The association resolved to reafliliate with the Auckland Hockey Association and also to send a team to the White Horse Cup competition. Opening day was fixed for May 24 and will take the form of an open five-a-side tournament. THAMES CLUB Good prospects for the season were anticipated by the Thames Hockey Club at its annual meeting on Saturday evening, and it was resolved to enter a team for the Thames-Hauraki Hockey Association’s competition for the Gage-Brown Cup. The annual report and balancesheet, the latter showing a small credit, were adopted. In the report the president, Mr. L. Crawford-Watson, congratulated the

club on its progress and the fact that there was a considerable influx of young players into the club which augured well for its future prospects. He also paid a tribute to the work of the secretary, 31 r. L>. B. Ritchie. Congratulations were passed to three members of the club, Messrs. R. Menzies, A. J. Brokenshire and Lon Griffin, at gaining their caps for the Thames-llauruki Association against the Australian team. The club also decided to honour two of its old supporters who have ceased active hockey with lit.' honorary membership, these being Messrs. A. J. Brokenshire and Loti Griffin. The election of officers resulted: Patron, Mr. A. M. Samuel. M.F.: president, Mr. L. Crawford-Watson: vicepresident, Mr. C. J. Garland: club captain. Mr. I\ Jensen: secretary-treas-urer, Mr. L>. B. Ritchie; committee, Messrs. P. Jenson. E. Martin. 1 Ho**lv. L>. B. Ritchie and 1.. Crawford-\\ itsi n. It was resolved to support the idea of an annual fixture with Tauranga on June 3. TE AWAMUTU The following officers were elected at the annua! meeting of the TeAwa r mutu Ladies’ Hockey Club, held on Thursday and presided over by Mr. C. A. Finch, last year's president:—Patron, the Mayoress (Mrs. C. G. Downes); president. Mr. C. A. Finch: vice-presi-dents, Mesdames A. S. Wallace. H. C. Rainey, J. McLeod and Messrs. C. Davis and R. G. Hodges; secretary. Miss W. Wallace (re-elected): treasurer, Miss Wilson (re-elected); club captain. Miss W. Wallace; committee. Mrs. W. 11. White and the Misses Irwin, Clarke, Cocker, Wallace and McCarroll. A team captain will be elected later. It was decided to apply for the same colours as last year, viz., rod and black, and the subscription was fixed at 2s Cd. It was aur held toward the end of next month, arrangements being left in the hands of the committee. Bowling ROTORUA The last competition of the season, the championship singles of the Rotorua Bowling Club, was advanced considerably on Saturday afternoon. Of the games decided, four only gave rise to anything like close play. The most exciting finish was that between Wash and McDowell. Wash established a lead of seven before McDowell opened his scoring card, which he did to some purpose on the fourth end by getting a quartet. Moki led Lindsay by 10 points at the 15th. He continued to draw well, but Lindsay’s fast work gave him 2, 3. l when the head was lying against him. end a score to him on the 21st settled the argument. Lindsay and Webber tied three times, once on the ninjh end, once on the 2 4th. and again on the 17th, although the latter was 7 to 1 on the fourth. Butt and Fitzgerald played a sternly-contested game up to the 18th end. Butt’s score contained no fewer than three fours, and Fitzgerald’s two. a most unusual occurrence in a singles game between good players. Butt led by one at the 18th and finished with a pair and a quartet which rendered the playing of the 21st unnecessary- Details: Wash. 21. v. McDowell, 20; Mohi, 20, v. Lindsay, 18; Lindsay. 19, v.

THAMES Up to the present time golfers have not got fairly into their swing, and although a Canadian foursome was to have been played on Saturday no cards were actually put-in. The club is exi»erieucing some difficulty in catering for its increased membership.
