Australia faced the cold southerly which was sweeping down the ground in the first spell, and despite this handicap were ahead 9 to 8 at the half-time bell. However, the Local team lasted better, and playing dashing football against the wind were six points up at the finish.

The visiting players showed plenty of dash, and their backs and forwards both had speed to burn, but their handling was at times faulty, perhaps due to the unpleasant conditions prevailing. Their forwards are all great line-out men, and their hooking was superior to that of the Local front row men, but in the the tight and loose forward rushes the Victoria forwards were their superiors.

Westfield, playing out of position at centre, appeared to be somewhat unsettled, and, Indeed, had a hard day marking Ruru, but there is no doubt as to his line-kicking ability, and also his accuracy with his boot. He landed one magnificent penalty against the wind with a beautiful drop-kick, which sailed high and fairly between the uprights.

Kennedy gave a splendid display on the wing, showing up in many dashing runs. He is very quick Off the mark, and a hard man to tackle.

In the second spell Victoria College played Ongley in the traditional New Zealand position of wing forward, where he gave the Australian backs, a particularly torrid time. Keeping well on the ball, this forward harried the Australian inside backs, and this move had a good deal to do with the local teams win.
