RUGBY LEAGUE TOUR
WIN FOR AUSTRALIANS DEFEAT OF HULL Received Oct. 24. 8.5 p.m. LONDON, Oct. 24. The Australian Rugby League football team defeated Hull by 22 to 12. The score at half-time was 7 to 5 in favour of Australia. The Hull backs handled splendidly in the opening stages and reached the Australian twenty-five, where Oliver goaled. Hull were winning the ball and kept Australia on the defensive but could not penetrate. Australia made spasmodic attacks but fine linekicking drove them back. Excellent play by Norman let Australia away on two occasions and brought their score to seven, but Hull .scored just on half-time. Hull continued to attack in the second spell but the Australians’ handling improved and they brought several good openings to a successful conclusion. Heavy rain fell before the match but the sun shone afterwards.
