First Fifteen.—Their's, like the All Blacks, is another hard luck story—lost to St. Pat's O.B. 9-11, drew with Athletic 3-3, lost to Petone 9-10, but might, with luck, have won all three games. Each of the two came on the call of time, one by a really fine penalty goal, the other by a converted try, so that, granted a small mistake in time, the team would have been in the Jubilee Cup competition instead of merely having every opportunity of winning the Hardham Cup competition.

Jarden, the team's leading points-scorer, has again been selected to train for the Wellington B representatives.

Second XV.—An unlucky loss to Trentham Army, a thorough beating by Tawa, and a defeat of Oriental, a strong team, is this side's recent record. One has the impression that the play is not sufficiently directed towards the forwards where the real strength of the team lies.

Third XV.—Three losses have been sustained, partly owing to the fact that the backs, in some positions, are not up to the standard of the forwards.

Fourth XV.—They of the recently deflowered line met their first defeat and, it is to be hoped, their last, from Marist on Saturday. They are a very competent all-round team which has been considerably shaken by injuries and absence.

Fifth XV.—This team show a regrettable tendency to play well until half-time, when all decide simultaneously that they have had enough for the afternoon and, relapse into ineffectiveness. Stronger defence would be an asset.

Sixth XV.—Though the social team has suffered from the demand of teams which should know better they have yet recorded two wins (I think we told you about them last time, when one was by default but it is as well to make sure), and gained the distinction of being the last team to use the track of mud known as Kaiwarra Park before the Rugby Union closed it.
