"What is to be done with these here hopeless chaps,"
—H. M. S. Pinafore.
This encounter between Otago University and Victoria College, took place on the Carisbrook ground on Tuesday afternoon, in the presence of Mr. Barkas and some five ladies, and resulted in a win for the home team by four goals to one Otago's scorers were Shaw, Cuttle, and Rutherford (2) : for us Oram improved an opportunity. Ryburn's transfer has not affected his play in fact for an opening match, the general accuracy and combination of the Southern men were remarkable. The only outstanding feature of our play as a team was a general weary feeling, but it was well developed.
Whilst this game was in progress the Otago University footballers tried conclusions with a team selected from the visitors, and were also victorious by 11 points to 3.
