INTER-'VARSITY MATCH

SYDNEY (18) V. AUCKLAND (12). (rRESS ASSOCIATION - SELEGRiU.j AUCKLAND, June 10,

The Sydney University footballers won the last match cf their tour to-day by defeating Auckland University by 18 points to 13, after a. gcod game. Auckland were first to set goinj, and aftsr several attacking movements by the backs bad been stopped, Millar scored an unconverted try. Sydney were attacking, when Cashmore slaitcd a- great movement in which six players handled the ball, Olsen Yashin;! over to score. The try was not converted. Tho Sydney batks brightened up, and good work by Pratt and Smith on the Mjnd side enabled Storey to notch -tho visitors' fir.-"t try. 'Williams converted and the score »t "uaff-time was: — , Auckland C, Sydney 3.

There wa3 an exciting opening to the second spell. Play had scarcely resumed when Anderson started a passing bout, in which about half the Auckland team participated, Sinclair getting over in the corner. The kick failed. Sydney gained Jhe lend a-s a, result of a brilliant effort bv Wiseman, who dribbled through from hU own twenty-five :md scored a great try. Williams converted, making the scores 10-0 in Sydney's favour. Auckland attacked persistently, and finally Hamilton crossed the line. The kick again failed. With a few minutes to go, tha visiters launched a hot attack, Johnson paving the way for Pratt to score. This time Williams failed to convert. A moment later another Sydney rush beat the Auckland defence, Garrett scoring for Williams to convert as the bell rang, the game thus ending: Sydney IS, Auckland 12. SATURDAY'S MATCHES. After such matches as have taken place in the Rugby competition this season, there should be a record crowd at Lancaster Park on Saturday, when tho final matches of the first round will be played. Chief interest will bo cfcntred in the Merivalc v. Old Boys match on tho oval. Both will field strong teams, and the result of the match should bo in doubt till the final whistle. Ok! Boys got home against Lihwood by a small margin last Saturday, and although Meiivale have been beaten' by the latter team, they have improved a great deal since.then, and should give, the Whites a very strenuous game. On the south ground 'Varsity play Christohurch. Although 'Varsity were badly beaten by Albion last Saturday, they were without tho help of some of their best players, and should they strike form on Saturday, Christchurch will have to play hard to win. Albion are down to play North Canterbury on tho west ground, and although, on their fine showing last Saturday, the Blacks. /Should win, a good even game should result.

WELLINGTON. June 10. "Those facts are not right," said Mr S. S. Dean at the meeting of the New Zealand Itugby Union this evening, when a protest at the abandonment of the Maori tour wag received from Canterbury. "The tour bus not been abandoned. Wo havo decided to write to the Maori Advisory Board and ask them for detaila of the arrangements." It wn« decided to wnio ogam to the Maori Advisory Board and ask for advice of the arrangements. It, was aeterrmncd to enquire what players were available for a 1024 v. 1925 international match at Wellington on July Bth. Tho chairman expressed a doubt as to whether any front row men would be avail- j jfr TV. Hornig: Personally I should like to'see tho match played, and I shall see it no matter where it takes place, but I think that too much time will hr.vo been lost in travelling. You will Jiave this match and tho North v. South match. It will moan that tho players will be away for, at least throo weeks, and on top of that they will have their own representative season. It was decided also to flee whether the original selectors would be available to choose tho teams. A WESTPOBT SUGGESTION. (rU39 ISSOCIVTIOK TXi»OBAM.I WELLINGTON, June 10. It is suggested by the Rugby authorities here that instead of two All Black teams playing each other in Wellington, which will bo seen by residents and those within . easy roach of Wellington, that the 1924 All Blacks tour one Island, and tho' 1925 All Blacks the other Island, and that they play each otfccr a* the conclusion of the tour in 1 Wellington. This would give footballers in all parts of the Dominion the benefit of the experience gained by; the two teams on I the Australian and English tours.
