ROSE BOWL MATCH

AUCKLAND BEAT WELLINGTON [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, September 13. With both teams playing bright open football, despite the tearing northerly, the Auckland Association football representatives were successful against Wellington at the Basin Reserve yesterday afternoon in the match for the Frank Campbell Rose Bowl. Wellington, the holders, put up a good fight, and only in the latter stages of the second half did they go under to a team which proved a shade superior in team work and positional play. Early in the second spell, when the score was 4-4. it looked as though Wellington, with the advantage of the wind, would finish a goal or two to the good, but Auckland launched a sustained attack which gave them a 6-4 victory. Wellington's. luck was out, two of the Auckland goals being scored off defending players, but unquestionably the better team won. The scorers for Auckland were Jepson (2), Stevenson (2), Needham, and Chapman, and for Wellington M‘Kenzie (2), Hatchard, and Leslie. The match between Poverty Bay and a second Wellington team resulted in an easy win for Wellington by 5 goals to 1. IN OTHER CENTRES [Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, September 13.
