-22-. to score, but Booth soon afterwards intercepted and scored for Driman to miss an easy conversion. Booth scored a second try for Dyer to goal. Some splendid inter-passing between Dyer Henry and Mason saw the latter run round and score. Harrington made a solo attempt and nearly succeeded, being bought down inches frm the line. Thomas put in several good runs, and a swerve might have brought results for he had plenty of room to move in. Mason was over but failed to ground the ball and tiie try was disallowed. After a most determined run Mason scored again! The Glenwood wing dropped a goal frcan ihe corner cfthe 25. The forwards did not protect the half as they should have donejand there was far toomuch slinging back from the line out. It seemed as though they were eager to be rid of the ball. Dyer goaled the last two tries. TEIM: Smith, Mason, Dyer, Henry, Thomas, Harrington, Heeves, Driman, Booth, Nichols, Doidge, Good, Coutts, Burnett, Christie. •8th September. MABISTS U 15. HOST 8 - 0. DDBBAN. ■ Our forwards were far too light. Marists did most of the attacking. Thomas was too well marked to get going, and he was badly handicapped by centres-who would not attempt to draw thei r opposite numbers. The Marist tackling was very hard and clean, particularly their right wing seemed to enjoy going for his man hard and low. A misunderstanding led to the first try, vdiich was converted. Then Drummond, who was lying too far back, allowed the ball to bounce five times and then missed it as one of the Marist boys dashed up, and an easy try resulted. A Rug by ball seldom bounces where one would like it-to, and the best plan is not to allow it to bounce if it can be fielded cleanly. This seemed to be a general failing on this occasion. Marists fully deserved their victory, showing more thrust and determin ation to get there at all costs. TEAM; Drummond, Thomas, Henry, Stockil, Pearce, Jacobs, "" Gilliat, Dunster, Putterill, Poole, Blondin, Spargo, Bazley, Eobbins, Mark.
