Spectators at tile Parle on Saturday worttreated to a fine exposition of the ">Soceer" game when the Corinthian tr-am proved their superiority over a Matatua. team by 8 goals to nil. The naval team was by no means a poor one. Corinthian won the tos.s, and the visitors kicked off toward the north goal. The Ral and Whites early took the upper hand and after several" fruitless corners McCourtney scored. After this some interesting play followed in front of Matatua's goal. Barnaeotte centred neatly, but H. Keen, who was lying in a handy position, failed to accept.. The Matatua team had a look in. but their shot a' ironl went From; ill- kick out the colou'ts with a fine passing rn?h took the ball to the other end,

where Anderson registered another goal. The Matatua wings put in sojik? lint; work, but- llii? defence was too .strong. -^ ftel '. a nice bit of combined work by the -Corinthian forwards J Keen scored. Shortly after half time sounded—Corinthians 3, Mutatu.i nil On resuriiing it was early seen that the sailors were beginning tci tire, and the Red and Widths .soon had them in trouble, H. Keen scoring three goaks and Anderson, two. For the sailors* all played well considering their want of training. For Corinthians ihe halves and forwards worked harmoniously together, while the backs played a good game and >;ave no chances away. The goalkeeper had little to do, but what came his waywas neatly and smartly executed. schools; competition. — '■ * (Sjniors.)Main v. South (Referee, Mr 11. Walker). —This game was played on 'Saturday on the Athletic Grounds, which were, owing to the. extreme cold, both hard, and Slippery. The game . requires little description for the Main School romped over their opponents, winning by 57 points, to nil, and this .scor-e- would have hsen considerably increased had not the usual place-kick been on the sick list, ■ for only three tries weite converted. Ihe large scon? k to b.i accounted for, not so much by the winners' good play (for they were, distinctly off colour) a* by the ab:encs of three mer, from Ji- losing team, who had so little consideration for their companions and their school as to. absent themselveswithout informing their captain. This,' of course, robbed the team of its combination and of all chance of making an even game. The try-getters for the winners were Smith (5), Calvert (2), Duncan (2), Stechmau '.2), Moore (.2), Clarkson, Renneti, Webster and Segar (1 each). Marist v. Waimate (Referee, Mr G. Park). —Marist journeyed to Waimate and after a very c'to.ve and exciting game of which the loners had if anything the better, Waimate won by 5 points to 4. Maris t the first to* score, a fine left-foot, luck by Burns crediting them wi\h a potted goal. Waimatsrs iscore' was the- result of a fine run by Williams from hi:; own twenty-five to right, behind his opponents' goal "posts, and the try being converted gave the local boys tha- victory by the narrow margin of one point. Juniors.) Mari.st) v. Waimate (Referee, Mr P.. Park).—-This gam-2 was also played at Waimate, but the visitors had rather a run away victory winning by 18 points to mi. . These games mark the conclusion of the first round in the schools' competition, and a glance at the following table will show that the .result is by no means a, foregone conclusion. The unequal number of games p]ay <1 is owing to the fact that- two town teams vifit Waimate in the. first round, and two in the second, while Waimate pays only one visit to Timaru, to play the leading town team for the- premiership, provided that Waimate I has suffered no more defeats than that 1 1 town team.
