HOROWHENUA-MANAWATU
Because of the heavy rain in the morning, the postponement committee of the Manawa tu Rugb'y Union decided to cancel the junior representative game with Horowhenua, scheduled as the curtainraiser to the senior. match at Palmerston North, because of the fear that it would cut up the ground for the major game. In order not to disappoint the crowd, a scratch fifteen of volunteers from the stand was matched against the junior representatives and won handsomely. The large crowd entered into the spirit of the game, and warmly barracked the "Piebalds."
