Bledisloe Cup.
CHANGES HANDS. 7 ALL BLACKS WIN AGAIN. WALLABIES SOUNDLY BEATEN. (Special to ‘'Star.") DUNEDIN, Sept. 14. About 28,000 people saw NeAV Zealand defeat Australia for the Bledisloe Cup on Saturday by 38 points to 13, after Australia Avas leading by 13 to 11 at halftime. In comparison Avith the first session, in which both teams played dashing football, the Wallabies lacked finesse and dash, and Avere strictly confined to their OAvn tenritory. Play in the opening stages Avas particularly fast and there Avas a great struggle among the forxvards for possession. After the change-over the All Black fonvards played more as a pack, and the backs displayed surer penetrative ability. For NeAv Zealand, tries were scored by Mitchell (2), Hart (2), Reid (2), Rankin (2) and Watt. Pollock kicked a penalty goal and converted four tries. Australia’s points came from tries by McLaughlin and Bridle. Rankin converted these and kicked a penalty goal.
