TIMARU SUPERIOR AT RUGBY, SOCCER

i Timaru Boys' High School I was superior to St. Andrew's College at both Rugby ; and soccer at St. Andrew's ; College yesterday. , More vigour in the forwards was the main reason for Timaru Boys' High School's 16-9 win at Rugby. Although St. Andrew’s held a territorial advantage for long periods, it lacked a goal-klcker and could provide no counter to the surging rushes of the Timaru forwards. Teams: St. Andrew's College.— l. Wright: R Moore. W. Steel (captain), M. Moore; N. Bary, M. McEwan; R. Smith: G. King: R, Murdoch, H. Ruffell. J. Mclntosh. J Morris: A. Ferguson. L. Jeffs, T. McElrea. Timaru B.H.S.— D. Kendall; R Taylor, R. Brown, T. Devlin: F. Toleafoa, J. Cleland; B. Ford; B. McCully; R. Falloon (captain), J. Pierce, M. Lindsay, R. Branch; B. Ensor, W. Brown, J. McKenzie. Timaru’s forwards took command of the game and not until the final 10 minutes, when they appeared exhausted, did they relinquish control. St. Andrew's then scored twice. R. Taylor, the New Zealand junior mile champion, swung the game Timaru’s way when he ran 90 yards to score under the posts. B. McCully, R. Fatloon and M. Lindsay played well In the Timaru pack. W. Brown took 10 tight-heads. J. Cleland had a fine game at first five-eighths and received good passes from B. Ford at half-back. St. Andrew's won the line-’

louts where H. Ruffell jumped I well. G. King covered tenacii ously. The backs ran across field too ! much. W. Steel and N. Bary ‘ made some fine runs and R. Smith was sound at half-back. For Timaru R. Taylor and R. Brown scored tries; T. Devlin converted both tries and kicked two penalty goals. R. Moore. M. Moore and N. Bary scored tries for St. Andrew's. Timaru Boys' High School won the soccer, 7-0, when St. Andrew's played with only 10 men for almost half the match. ' The game was a triumph for 'the Timaru centre-forward. K. Ward, who scored a hat-trick ’ H. N’auta <2l. J. Mealings and G. Hogg also scored for Timaru. Teams were:— St. Andrew's College.—D. Dowling; P. Docherty, J. Stewart: B. Stockwell, P. Goodman (captain), M. Tiewaka; M. Clemens, B. Cartwright, T. Wise, T. Isala. I. Kofe. Timaru B.H.S.— J. Reid; I. Eason. W. BaWlie; G. Keay, G. Woolsiencroft (captain), J. Guthrie; J. Mealings, H. N’auta, K. Ward, G. Hogg, R. Marshall. Timaru led 2-9 at half-time but almost immediately afterwards T. Isala. the St. Andrew’s inside left, pulled a leg muscle. It was some time before Timaru could capitalise as the defence of Dowling and P. Docherty was -first-class. The Timaru defence was magnificent, with G. Woolstencroft. I. Eason, W. Bailtie and J. Guthrie, prominent. Ward, who showed good ball sense, and G.i Hogg stood out in the Timaru attack.
