N.Z.U. Men v Wellington

The team which represented N.Z. Universities was not the strongest which would have been fielded, as the selector was instructed to restrict his choice to those who would be eligible for "blues" should the N.Z. U.S.A. decide to award them. Nevertheless the team was a very strong one and was certainly much superior to the Wellington team which op-posed it, although the final score 6-4 would not lead one to think so. In the first half, while still fresh, the team played brilliant fast open hockey to lead by three goals to one at half-time. The physical strain the University players had undergone for the previous two days had its effect in the second spell, when they began to lose their early dash. Wellington, playing a tighter, more rugged game, scored three goals to two in this half, but it was not sufficient and towards the end N.Z.U. were once more on top.
