Unfortunately, five members of last year's senior team are not with us this season, and we feel the effect of this when we meet teams whose personnel has remained the same for two or three years. Nevertheless, our games are very enjoyable, and we feel confident that we will finish up the season near the top of the ladder. We hope that a few notes on the games played will be of interest.

Versus Ramblers. Lost. 1—3. Our first game was against last year's champions. The "Post" complimented us on showing signs of business-like training. If they only knew ! A. Cousins scored' our orphan.

Versus Wakatu. Lost. 2—11. We were badly outclassed. The "Post" did not compliment us on this occasion. Grant, in goal, complained that he really was not an "Aunt Sally." Miles and Whitehead notched our goals.

Versus Hutt. Won. 4—3. We just managed to scrape home, but a win's a win, for a' that. Miles and A. Cousins shared our score.

Versus Petone. Lost. 1—2. Our most closely-contested game and a good exhibition of hockey. Our opponents' scored their winning goal right on time. The paper declared that we were "beaten at the post." E. Cousins scored for us.

Junior A.

Versus Petone. Won. 4—2. A hard game on a hard ground. The game was played at Petone, and support for the home team was not lacking. However, we managed to emerge triumphant.

Versus United. Drawn. 3—3. Our play could scarcely be said to be of a high standard. "Bungling "in the circle spoiled our chances of success.

Versus Huia. Drawn. 2—2. This was the strongest combination we had met to date. There was a distinct improvement on last Saturday's play.

Versus Wakatu. Won. 4—0. The forwards had a day out, Morine being much in evidence.

Junior B.

Captain, W. A. Heat.

The Junior B has not so far achieved any remarkable success, but has managed to make a fair showing on several occasions against more experienced players. The middle of the season should see improved combination in the team and then the Junior B's should be well up to the general standard of Junior Grade. The results to date are as follows:—

Versus Y.M.C.A.. drawn (1 all). This was a strenuous game in which V.U.C. managed to keep the opposing team almost continually on the defensive.

Versus Wesley Rovers. Lost 6—2. Played at Petone. The team was without two of its regular players, but showed improved form on the previous Saturday, and, towards the end of the game, had the situation fairly well in hand.

Versus Karori. Lost. 1—0. In this game the team was up against much more experienced players, but made a good showing and displayed better combination.

Versus Wellington. Drawn 2 all. This was the most hard-fought match to date, and the result was gratifying in that Y.U.C. held their own against an older team.

Third Grade.

Captain, P. Ruston.

This team is composed mainly of new players, but already they are beginning to make headway with the game and before the end of the season should have developed into a good fighting team.

Results to date are:—

Versus Wesley. Drawn. 1 all. This again was a strenuous game; several players suffering minor injuries. but by "sticking together" the team managed to hold its own.

Versus Huia. Lost. 3—2. This was the most exciting game to date. Huia's winning goal was shot almost on time.

Versus Karori. Won. 3—1. Karori's players though youthful were good battlers and the victory was hard won.

Versus Hutt. Lost. 5—1. This, was a fast and strenuous game. The result is no indication of the evenness of the game. V.U.C. displayed improved combination.
