Massey V. Victoria.

Massey defeated Victoria by 10-3. They are to be congratulated for their well-deserved win. Victoria, on their home ground, fielded the best team available, but could not hold the country college. Massey fielded a strong pack who worked from whistle to whistle, and a safe backline. They worked well as a team. They beat Victoria from the start by getting possession of the ball, and in the second half, with the lead secured, they took no risks, kicking the ball out on every possible occasion. The chief failure of the 'Varsity team was the lack of virility in the forwards. Jackson played again, but the hooking was poor of the Massey scrum.

Rae played well he received poor support and protection from the forwards, and had an unenviable task.

Paul did not show up favourable, but here again he had a difficult task dealing with the opposition forwards. Harpur made some excellent runs. Russell and Blacker were the pick of the forwards.

The display of the Massey team has enhanced their prospects of gaining several places in the N.Z.U. team.
