v. Berhampore; lost 21-3. This game was played at Kilbirnie, when many of the players saw each other for the first time, consequently it was not surprising that we were defeated by a team which had evidently practised together considerably. Our backs were the weakest part of the team, showing a disinclination to bring down their man. Dowd was responsible for our solitary score.

v. Poneke; won by 9-3. This match was also played at Kilbirnie on the following Saturday, and considerable improvement was shown, especially among the backs. We had the better of the game throughout. Tries were scored by Tracy and Knell, and White kicked a penalty. All the forwards played good games, while among the backs Knell was the most conspicuous.

v. Wellington College; lost 17-6. Played on the College ground. The game was fairly even throughout, but 'Varsity lacked the polish of their opponents. Dighton was conspicuous among the forwards for his energetic play. Tries were scored by Tracy and Charles.

v. Hutt; lost 21-3. Our opponents had by far the heavier team, and in the first spell overwhelmed our backs, and scored 21 points. The second half was strenuously contested, and we were constantly on the attack. As a result of a good piece of play by Burns and Ward, the latter scored for us. The whole team played well, especially in the second spell, Dighton again being conspicuous among the forwards.
