Otago had slightly the best of the first half, but in spite of their determine ! attacks were unable to penetrate the Wellington defence, and at half time there was no score. The second half was very even. Soon after starting Bridgeman lanared for Otago, and shortly afterwards Foiden brought the score level again. Bridgeman. Button and Davies were most prominent- of the Otago players, while F<4>d* n . Cousins and Hair played well for Victoria College In the match between Technical College .Old Boys and Phoenix, played on Cook’s Gardens, on May 26th, the play was of a very fair standard. the game being fast throughout. It was only after a hard struggle that the Old Boys managed to gain a victory over last year’s cup winners, the scores being: Old Boys 4, Phoenix 1.
