Waikato kept up the attack until Goldsbury gained some territory for Valley with a thrust up the side-line. The Thames Valley winger was again in the picture a few minutes later, but an Infringement spoiled a certain try. Waikato replied with a strong forward rush, McLoughlin, the opposing fullback, getting A. Cameron with a splendid tackle. Carlson secured and ran strongly, feeding Hook, who was nailed within striking distance. Goldsbury frustrated another Waikato passing bout with a good mark at midfield. Smart Field Goal.

Another Waikato rush saw Lawrence miss and Hook followed through to fall on the ball for a try. Carison failed to convert and the final whistle ■sounded shortly afterwards, leaving the scores.— Waikato Thames Valley • • • •■ ** , Mr E. Scott, of Cambridge, was the r»n fan p p Notes on tho Play. It was not until the second half that Waikato were effective though they had the margin of attack throughout. In the first session, aided by a fast and capable pack, especially in the loose, Thames Valley made more of their opportunities, but the pressure was too much for them in the second spell. They also missed McLoughlin. Waikato had a greater share of the ball, bu the backs were not at home and missed many openings. Their tackling was feeble and contrasted unfavourably with that of the opposing side, whose splendid defence was a feature of th<piay. Valley tired near the finish but they had Waikato badly rattled at half-time. CAMBRIDGE SUB-UNION. HIGH SCHOOL MATCH.
