Old Boys had the advantage in the opening stages but good defence eased the position. Play swung to the other end of the field where M. West was instrumental in diverting a trenchant attack, until Froude centred perfectly to Hampton who goaled with a ground shot.—Hinemoa 1, Old Boys 0. Hinemoa were having the bulk of the attack and the van, combining perfectly, was a delight to watch. Allsop secured before the Old Boys’ goal and netted with a beautiful shot.— Hinemoa 2, Old Boys 0. Old Boys swept the field in a whirlwind rush, and Davies had a good but futile attempt at goal. Hinemoa secured the territorial advantage when Froude gave them preference with a characteristic dash down the line. The position was reversed when Davies and Sim combined in a brilliant passing rush and a corner resulted, from where Monteith and Hampton cleared to midfield. Half-time came without any Change in the score:— Hinemoa 2 Old Boys 0 Play hovered in midfield, both teams securing occasional temporary territorial advantages. The Hinemoa van for a time monopolised attack, and only the good goal-keeping of M. West prevented an Increase in their total. The ball was rapidly taken to the other end of the field but Hampton and Froude eased the pressure. Play was fast and willing. Davies’, gave Old Boys prtfreence with a series of clearances, but the Hinemoa van worked play Into neutral territory from where Hinemoa took up the running. Old Boys then had their turn on attack but Mills mishit, allowing Seal to clear, and the tables were turned. West was caught cut of position and Allsop narrowly missed goaling. From a corner in favour of Hinemoa, Hampton secured and left West little chance with his fast drive. —Hinemoa 3, Old. Boys 0. Hinemoa hgd now a definite superiority until time was called with tiie score:— Hinemoa 3 Old Boys 0 Messrs J. Tait and G. G. Hunter had control of the game. CAMBRIDGE SUPERIOR.

From the bully-off Kalpakl attacked and kept up the pressure until a good passing rush toy the t Cambridge forwards relieved the situation and carried play to Kaipalci’s twenty-five. Good work by C. Bones was a prelude to a Kaipaki forward rush but owing to lack of finish little advantage was gained. Cambridge were, at this stage, having the better of the game and kept Kaipaki hemmed in their circle. C. Cowley cleared well and Cambridge was forced to concede a corner just prior to the half-time whistle. Cambridge kept up the pressure in the opening stages of the second spell but the situation was reversed when Karl put in a brilliant dash down the line. McKinnon cleared to half-way and Cambridge took up the running, i C. Kehely receiving before the Kalj paki goal, netting for Cambridge.— Cambridge i, Kaipald 0, A few minutes later L. McKinnon put Cambridge t w o up. Play hovered in midfield until Cambridge took up the running | as a result of a hard clearance from I Webber. J. Bones made ground for Kaipaki with a dash down the line but a free to Cambridge reversed the position., Cambridge were having the better of the game in the final stages and C.
