Eastern played one short from the beginning and two short for a part of the game. Thomas, a Maori, with a football reputation earned in Hawke’s Bay, looks as if he would loom large on the football horizon here. He is associated with Siddels, and from the way they acquitted tlTcmsclves on Saturday they should make ; a rare combination. The game had only commenced' when he came to the fore, and as the result of a tricky run scored in the corner for Eastern. Thomas essayed to convert the try, but the ball fell a little too short. 'lnis try was Eastern’s only score. It was then City’s turn, Gibson, getting the ball from Martis, got over after a good run. Callaghan just missed'with the kick. City 3, Eastern 3. Then City got a penalty goal. As the result of a good run Brown got across. Callaghan again failed. B—3. City's next score was easy. Gibson intercepted a pass, and ran in behind the posts. Callaghan converted. 13—3. Eastern were on the attack most of the second spell, but City played the more solidly and prevented any scoring, while Gibson again increased their total with a try. Coleman failed to Mr. o,’Earrell made a very competent- referee. ■ • JUNIOR. The junior game did not eventuate.
