Utiku Defeat Old Boys L’tiku were in Old Boys’ tcrritorv I during the major portion pf the match and scored a well-deserved victory by 12 points to 3. The winners’ form was impressive, considering that it was the first game of the season. New faces in the back line were Chisnall (half), and Mar-hall Bros, (five-eighths). All three were a decided acquisition to the team, also Fenton (full-back). Old Bovs could not get going properly but will doubtless improve when il.e plavers J have had mure games together. Collier put in some determined runs but was [inclined to cist across the field too much. On one occasion he actually lost ground through failure to run straight. There were several new players in the Old Boys’ team, including Galbraith (fullback). Dunean (five-eighths). Toomev, O’Callaghan, Abraham, and Gahn (forwards) The teams were as follow: Old Boys (black and white). —Galbra.th, (’oilier. Steedman Davey, Hagen.

Marshall, Chisnail, McMahon, TranJsom, Torrey. M. Clinton. McCulloch, A Clinton, Henery (2). Soon after the game commenced, L’tiku pressed hard and Chisnail made a dash for the line but was forced out near the comer. The greens kept up the pressure but Collier sa» e l bv foiling. The greens came again but J. Ilenery kicked too hard and the ball became “dead.” L’tiku returned to the attack and Old Boys infringed in their anxiety to keep the greens out. but L. Johansen missed fr ‘.n an acute |angle. Soon afterward' ’he greens I were awarded another free kick and [this time L. Johansen found the uprights. L’tiku 3, Old Boys 0. The score was unchanged at halftime. but Old Boys equalised soon after th© resumption of activities v hen Collier kicked a penalty goal. L’tiku 3, Old Boys 3.

Collier broke awav several times but gained little ground through lavk of straight running. Fa«t folio .ring-up saw L.

Barrell failed. l’tiku 9, Old Boys 3 The green® were now definitely on top and added another three points when M. Clin 4 on scored from a forward rush. The kick was unsuccessful. L’tiku 12.
