-53-. vs D.H.S.Under 1/L. ITth Au^t. In Durtan. Draw 3-3* A gale made playing conditions somewhat awkward and play ing with the wind in the first half we were early on the at tack, D.H,S., obtaining most of the hall kept up a constant attack, hut keen tackling, especially by Bazley, who proved a tower of strength throughout the game, coupled with faulty handling by the D.H.S. centres kept our line intact. The for wards deserve the greatest praise for their play. Only their admirable work in the tight and loose saved the match, Blondin deserves, special mention, for he worked like a lion,ably back ed up by Charter, A forward scored our only try in the first half after some good work by the forwards and halves. This lead at^half time was fully deserved, and seemed as though it might win the game, for against the wind the forwards played with the greatest determination and gave D.H.S. no time to get moving properly. There were several narrow shaves, however, faulty handling preventing scores against us. Hear the end a ball was kicked ahead, the D.H.S,left wing gathered and ran strongly for the line. He should have been tackled but Eaton made a very feeble attempt to stop him., so the scores were levelled. There were many exciting moves spoilt by over eagerness and the final result a good reflection of the game, Eaton, Spargo, Drummond, Metcalf, Tedder, Bazley, Smth (c),Charter, Blondin, Wood, Book, Olivr.er, D» Munro, Kingon, Carr, 1,7th August.
