WAIPUKURAU DEFEATED. AFTER HARD GAME WITH OLD BOYS. 1 AVaipukurau sustained their first 1 defeat, going down to Old Boys by s six points to three. It was a hard tussle from start to finish, and there ‘ was little to choose between the I teams. Rae scored a try for Old Boys t in the early part- of the game, and towards the end of the first spell Benson evened up the score by registering a try for Waipukurau. Neither was converted. The second half was a ding-dong go, and both sides were within an ace of scoring on several occasions. Nearing the end Jamieson, for Old Boys, landed a penalty goal. Waipukurau struggled valiantly to even up, but were unable to penetrate the defence. Mr Woodward refereed.
ANOTHER WIN TO OTANE. AN ELEVEN POINT MARGIN. Otane defeated Porangahau by 25 points to 14 in the second game at Waipukurau.

Playing at Tikokino Te Aute defeated Rangers by 28 points to three. The home team held their doughty opponents well in the first half, but combination and training told their tale in the second spell. Kaanga and Nathan scored tries for the College in the first spell, and W. Collins, a former All Black, who stepped out to fill a gap in the Rangers’ team, kicked a penalty goal for the homesters. In the second half tries for Te Aute were scored by Haimona, Kaanga, Murray, Northeroft, and Tou. Haimona and Tou each converted a try and Haimona kicked a penalty goal. Tou’s try was the coping stone to a very fine piece of work by Smith, who ran nearly the length of the field through the opposition and handed the leather to Tou to score. Kaimona played an excellent game at fullback. Mr T. B. Jackson refereed. JUNIORS. ANOTHER WIN FOR WAIPAWA. The Otane juniors were defeated by Waipawa at Otane by 10 points to nine.
