SATURDAY'S MATCHES,

Karori 5 Wesley 0 United 4 Metropolitan .... 2 Victoria College 12 Wellington 4 Saturday was quito an unfit day for hockey, but everybody will agree Hint tho postponement committee, in deciding to play, acted in the best interests of the senior players. As it is, the senior competition will bo long drawn out on account of the shield matches. Had the games not bqen played on Saturday, three weeks would have passed without a senior game. Of course, the grounds were pools of mud and water, consequently the players were likewise dirty, but after a cold shower and a rub down, conquerors and conquered agreed that "it was good fun. KAHORI-AVESLEV. As was predicted, Karori have completed the first round without a loss. They had no difficulty in beating Wesley by five goals to nil. Only 'seven of the Light Blues- put- in an appearance, and under tho; circumstances they played well. Karori opened up proceedings by taking the ball right from the "bullj-" down to the Wesley circle, but a corner resulted. The venue of plav then shifted, but not for long, as the Slues were handicapped with only seven men. It must be remembered, too, that this interfered with the Blacks, as tho chances of getting off-side were easier. The Blacks kept hammering at Wesley's door. First Loader and then Davios would knock, but there was no resDonse. They would slip and slide, so the goals did not come. However, at last Loader seized the ball from a scramble ' and poked it into the not. Karori, I—o. Still the Blacks kept at it, and at length Ct. Davies sent in a shot which gave Karori a further lead, 2—o. The rain was still falling, when at half-time the teams right-about faced, and tho game was in swing again. It was not long before Murphy sent in Knrori's third goal after a good run. Wesley now seemed to do bettor, but tho Black forwards got into their traces again and away they went, M'Killop finding the net. Karori, 4r-Q. The Light Blues now .tried hard, but in vain, and back came- tho Blacks, Cody saving the Bines time after time. Eventually M'Killop secured Karon's fifth and last goal. The whistle, sounded! shortly afterwards, with! Wesley on tho attack. Mr. Cockerel! was referee.

VICTORIA COLLEGE-WELLINGTON. Day's Bay N'o. 1 ground was a mud swamp before the flayers went on the field, and a quagmire it proved to the ■players, who battled on witli the rain pouring down, and the mud flying up right throughout the game. Of -course, playing hockey was farcical, but tho players were there and the game took place. College won handsomely by 12 goals to i, but a truer indication of the game would have been given had the score been eight goals to five. Morpeth (Wellington), goal-keeper, left the circle, consequently there was an empty goal month to hit into. - This act of Morpeth's done was responsible 'for at least four goals. College opened up proceedings in astonishing ' fashion. Five minutes of play and three goals_ in—an ominous outlook for Wellington. First Griffiths scored two goals, and balek coming up fast sent another one in. The Bluo and Whites now livened up, and proceeded into the College territory, lioid (righfcwing) going right up to the College backs. Play was now even for \i moment, but the superior stick work and cleverness of the Collegians was scon manifest, and' Beere sent in another goal. The play now became a. mud scramble, and College seemed more at home in tho mud than their opponents. Wellington, however, several times threatened their opponents' goal—in fact, Eeid once beat ill the opposition but made a faulty hit. Hollis at length shot for the Blues, and G. Strack shot for College, and the spell ended: College, 5; Wellington, 1. The teams had no spell, and so the game went m. Then Morpeth did a foolish' thing— ie left his goal-posts, so of course ColLego just shot goals at their own sweet vflj. However, the spell,was not all theirs, is the-Blue's also , shot goals. Time was i welcome relief, and the game ended: 3ollege, 12; Wellington, i. For College, Mffiths (4), G. Strack (i), C. Strack (2), 3eere, and Salek 6cored; whilst for Welington, Hollis, Armstrong, Morpeth, and >auj scored. Mr. H. V., Walton _ was eferce. . ' "

UNITED-METROPOLITAN. Like the other grounds at t.ho Bay, No. 3 was in a very greasy state, consequently combined efforts were not of much use. Every time a. player got into a good position ho would fall or slip at the moment of shooting, and consequently many chances were lost. On the whole the gamo was fairly even. Metropolitan invaded tho Beds' territory from tho outset, but tho defence was sure, and the greasy ground militated against goal-getting. , United then took a hand, but could do no better, Cleave (Metropolitan's custodian) proving a stunibliug-block. ' The Eeds kept up the attack, but found that Baker and M'Gregor were veritable walls. First Boyd and then Andrews had shots, but resultless. Then Metropolitan moved goalwards again, but M'Eldowney intercepted, and shot the ball to his forwards. Here a pretty piece of play ended in Boyd transferring to Andrews, who found the net This goal spurred the Red and Blacks on, Tnit Organ and M'Eldowney sent them back. Another goal soon appeared. Boyd by fast following up secured a good goal, and tho spell ended with United 2 goals in the lead. Tho teams just reversed, and at onco Metropolitan were full of life. They played with far more energy, but their shooting was weak. Down they went times without number, and back they were sent. United now took a hand, and Andrews shot. Ihe ba 1 was stopped, but M'Gregor slipped, and, not recovering in time, Andrews sent in his second goal. Tho play now kept in mid-field, each side attacking in turn, till at last 'Muldoon (Metropolitan, bully) mado a solo effort, threaded his way through tho defence, and finished r.p with agooTlshot. United, 3; Metropo itan, 2. The game now was full of life, and at last Andrews shot his third goal, and brought United's telly up to i. And so the game ended: United i goals (Andrews 3, Boyd 1), Metropolitan 2 goals (Muldoon 1, Clark 1). Mr. Gcndall was referee.
