I’UKKMIRO v. Y.M.C.A. AN EASY WIN. In the match between Pukemiro and Y.M.C.A. at.Seddon Park on Saturday the teams were as follow:—Y.M.C.A.: Eyre,. Spence,Williams, Corona, Clark, Bird, Emerson, Bajllie,.. Chiriiey; Ranson, Phillips,. *•: Pukemiro: Rose, Cald-well,-.Whitehead, Latimer, Robertson, Wilson, Black," Bate, Johnson, Sims, Adams! : : Referee, Mr. E. R. Marsh; TnVspit'e of the unfavourable condi--lions,- quite a good-exhibition of foot- ! J-xvflS'produced -at Secldon . Park, Ui fortunately the- “stars” were “nearly all on one.'side, and- it was therefore not surprising-, that Pukemiro ran out easy; winners by 4 goals to nil. Qoals were- scored by '(Black '(.2 );. Bates, and Robertson, The- play- was practically confined to the Y.M.C.A. half and oniy.Ranson and Phillips appeared capable" of relieving the monotony. - Although Chirney at times displayed dash, he somewhat lacked finish.

Rose had no chance to prove his worth, but both, Caldwell and Whitehead-sug-gested, that they, would be reliable against. stiffer opposition. Caldwell saved; hls‘goalkeeper from considerable anxiety by keeping the dangerousRahsomfrorh shooting distance. Latimer, Robertson and Wilson were a splendid half-hack line, with little to choose between them. It was strange to see Latimer in this position, but his natural football ability would ensure his success" in any position. Black and Bate must surely have saved the selectors from looking elsewhere for a right wing. On Saturday’s form it must noL>bc<surprising to see Johnson eompleleythe- trio. . Sims and Adams would not be surprising to sec Johnson Wing. If their finishing efforts had been equal to their confreres’ on the opposite . wing the score would probably have hben double.' .'V •-V Tiie Home Team.

Eyre’s goaikeeping was excellent, tnd was a revelation to those who had iot seen him before. He was pot Veil supported, for both backs foiu|d he nippy opposition too much for jhem. The. half-backs worked-hard and never gave up trying. Of the forwards only" Ranson- and Phillips were up to the- grade they,arc playing hi. The former compared with any forward on view, with’the possible exception of Bate. Phillips has not reached the form he is known to be capable hf,. although he is playing quite well. ,Mr JL R. Marsh refereed satisfactorily. ..... .
