v. St. Johns. A good game against fair opponents. We desreved

the win. and got it. Won 14 to 3. v. Southern. A poor game against weak opponents, most of whom were pressed into service on the ground, and who had the tired feeling very badly. Won 33 to nil.

v. Selwin. Lost 18 to 9. A good hard game against strong team.

v. Melrose. Won by default. v. Wellington. The match of the season. Played with 11 men against a full team. Every back was equal to two, every forward was a hero. Won 5 to nil.
