SECONDARY SCHOOL MATCHES.

King’s College met and defeated Grammar School for the second time this season, the final score, after a close and exciting game, being 9 points to 8. For King’s, Wilson and Dickeson (2) scored tries, while for Grammar School Mitchell and Gordon obtained tries, one of which was converted by the latter player. King’s College has now practically won the 1908 secondary schools championship. A match was played as a curtainraiser to the Thames-Auckland contest between St. Patrick’s College (Wellington) and the St. John’s College representatives. The visitors gave a first-rate exhibition, their handling of the ball and kicking being of a high order, and were easily returned victory by 29 points to 0.
