Junior

v. Petone. Lost 8—15.

In a game of lost chances and costly-dropped passes, the Junior backline belied their strength on paper against the villagers. In the forwards it was another story, and the big 'Varsity pack, led by Martin, who was promoted to the Seniors for the next game, and McKay, gave the Petone packmen something to think about. [unclear: Kurtovich], one of the smallest forwards, was right on his game, and his lack of weight does not seem to curb his energy.

v. Athletic. Won 2—3

Many of the [unclear: regulars] were out with [unclear: 'flu.] but Coach Jim Annand led his team to victory, controlling the game cleverly from the first five-eighth's position, Todd and Roberts, promoted for the day helped to fill the gaps. : and came through with flying colour. McKay, as usual, led pack with flash.

Bennett was another who went well, his line-out playing being excellent. He is fine breakaway forward in the making, having pace, height and Wight.
