Willing to serve their College, and to
take a shinning.

V. C. v. Karori. Lost, 12-2. This was a practice game.

Beere scored two goals for College.

Championship Matches.—First Round.

V. C. v. United. Lost, 5-2. An interesting game. United shooting was much better than ours. de la Mare scored twice.

V. C. v. Karori. Lost, 8-0. College combination was weak, and that of Karori strong.

V. C. v. Vivian. Won, 3-1. Both Clubs new to Senior Cup. College had slightly the best of the play. Beere and G. Bogle (2) scored.

V. C. v. Wellington. Draw, no score. On the previous Saturday Wellington had beaten the hitherto invincible United Club, the result was therefore unexpected. The game was even in the first spell but towards the end Wellington kept up a blockade. Stalwart defence by Foley, combined with inaccurate shooting of Wellington, prevented disaster.
