SOCCER TOURNEY
REPRESENTATIVE MATCH As Western Suburbs had two wins to its credit, thereby winning the Balfour Irvine Cup, the third junior series in the schools’ soccer tournament was not played. Western Suburbs and Hamilton staged a good exhibition, and it was only the lightness of the Hamilton boys that enabled W: .tern Suburbs to gain victory by the odd goal in five. In the representative match played in the afternoon between Auckland and South Auckland, the local team had a better knowledge of the conditions. Nevertheless, the South Auckland boys showed out in several m dangerous combined movements, and the final score of 7—l against them was not a true indication of the exchanges. Mills scored for South Auckland.
