SOUTH CANTERBURY BEAT WANGANUI.

I On Saturday, in perfect weather I and before a large attendance, South ! Canterbury defeated Wanganui, by jllto 8. The game wast mostly I forward play. South Canterbury j were handicapped by the sun in the [first spell. Boulton scored a try for [ Wanganui and D. Stewart evened up for South Canterbury. Then Head scored and Delves converted, the score at half time being B—3. J. Stewart and 11. Stewart scored for South Canterbury, "Lawson converting the latter's try. Tlir; game was throughout fast and interesting. In the first spell. i the Greens had to face a very bad ; sun, which made it almost imposI sible to take the ball. G. Lawson, | who replaced D. Fairbrother at full , back, played a marvellous game, and was easily the best back on thei ground. Though he made a very i bad mistake on*one occasion, which, I led to a score, he afterwards played I in great style, time after time cutting in and starting a rush which was. never finished by the other backs. Edgeler did a great deal of defensive work and made many good, openings, but the rest of the backswere much below their usual form—except Goodwin, who made several dashy runs in the first spell. . The forwards were very dead, D. Stewart again being the leader in all rushes. Ward was not a success at wingforward ?and >he and Fairbrother changed places at half-time with much better results. During the second spell the forwards played with great dash, their passing and lack ling being ;i treat to witness. In the last twenty minutes they were running all over their opponents, D. Stewart, Craven, and Collings being outstanding. The tram has received the greatest hospitality from the Wanganui people.
