PRIMARY SCHOOL GAME WAS ENTERTAINING

" The manner in which the Horowhenua primary school representatives defedted Wellington by six points to three at the Levin Domain on Saturday gave every indi- . cation that Horowhenua wiil have some good taient to choose from in a few years. The local team turned in a most encouraglng exhibition with their bright and 'open play and it proved entertaining to the spectators. • Noticeable feature of the game was the few penalties. Brotherson, at full-back, can be considered as a future representative prospect for nis game was full of merit. This lad . gained Horowhenua's first points by scoring a -fine try, an achievement for a full-back. Probabiy. one of the most aggressive players on the field was the threequarter, Hapeta. He made some really dazzling runs and. his try followed several. breiaks Iri which he appeared* unlucky not : to have scored. Fuller, at half-back, showed promise, more especially on the attack. Rikihana was quite sound, ialtiiough inclined to tackle high. Of the forwards, Bartosh was one 'of the most outstanding. Adrian, j Johnson and Nichol were the pick of the remainder. } -Pearce scored Wellington's points by a good penalty kick. Mr. Martin carried the whistle.
