RUGBY FOOTBALL TAIHAPE v. WAIOURU A Rugby match between a Taihape representative team and a side from the Waiouru military camp was play- l ed on the Oval Domain, Taihape, on I Saturday afternoon and resulted in a | victory for the local team by eight I points to live. Larsen (first five-eighth) played an I outstanding game for Taihape, giving i a polished exhibition in both attack ' and defence. His opposite number, : McKinley, was the pick of the army I backs. Payne played well behind the i Taihape scrum, while Chase, Hekenui, | Steedman and Haitana impressed at I times. In the maroon forwards A. ■ McDonald, Howie, Bremner. Reeves ; and Henery caught the eye. : The army team lacked combination, i having never played together before, whereas the great majority of theTaihape team played a fortnight ago in a patriotic match. Castle was the ! pick of the army pack, while the Wai- I ouru three-quarter line, consisting o'. I Leatherland, Treseder (centre) and | Hill, showed promise. The place-kick- | ing of the Waiouru team was weak, some “sitters” being missed. The first try of the game was scor- I ed by Payne, who kicked througn a , gap in the defence, and following up j fast, he touched down after two Wai- j ouru players had fumbled. Hekenui goaled.—Taihape 5. Wa’ouru 0. ' Barrell, the Taihape lull-back, was | badly beaten by the tr.unce o£ the | ball, and McKinley scored behind ci.e posts.
