The Second Spell.

In the second spell the wind dropped, the sun had gone, and rain was not far off. The Victorian backs saw more of the ball this spell, and put in some good work, being unlucky not to score. Massey were playing a solid game, throwing the ball about and working hard. During this spell they scored four tries, nearly all of them from the loose, one being converted. Sherratt also potted a goal, making the final score 24-0-a score which does not indicate fairly the small difference between the teams and the good work put in by the Victorian men.

During the game Blyth, the Massey half, was injured and left the field. Points of note in the game were the line-kicking by one of our forwards, the goal-kicking by Thurston (now in inside back), the solid tackling by some of our backs, and the very friendly spirit in which the game was played. Frank Petre made an efficient referee.

After the game the team was entertained at a dinner at the College, at their Revue, "The Rain and the Mud." and finally at the Capping Ball—an enjoyable function in the College Hall.

Thank you, Massey!
