Northern Supremacy
Massey and Auckland dominated the soccer. They met in the first round and it was in this game that the best soccer of the tournament was seen. Although ground conditions were very poor, both teams played a fast open game. Auckland maintained a slight superiority throughout the game to win by two goals to nil.
R. Sue, playing very aggressive football, gave Massey's goalkeeper (I. Whittaker) little respite and scored Auckland's two goals, one of which was from a penalty.
Canterbury, definitely the superior team, had little trouble in beating the Otago team by 6 goals to 2. K. Drew scored three of Canterbury's goals, while S. Ferilonger and A. Middleburg also found the back of the net. Otago's two goals were scored by B. Fergus.
Massey and Auckland both won their games against Victoria and Otago comfortably, the scores being 4-1 and 7-3 respectively. Victoria, a weaker team because of injuries, suffered defeats to the other teams by large scores, and on Wednesday it had to default to Otago.
Canterbury turned on a surprise to defeat Massey 6-3, with Drew and Whitehead playing an attacking game. A. Aziz was a valuable asset to the Massey team.
The N.Z.U. team, playing an Otago B team, managed to hold the game to a draw—2 all. The N.Z.U. players were undoubtedly feeling the strain of three days of football, but played well.

The Australian women's hockey team, after starting slowly and trailing two goals, put on a fine display and won convincingly. The final score was 6-3.
