TARANAKI’S SUCCESS
SUPERIORITY OP BACKS
WANGANUI DEFEATED
(Per Press Association.) / NEW PLYMOUTH, this day. Taranaki defeated Wanganui by 19 points to five in a Rugby match on Saturday that provided many spectacular movements. There was little between the teams in the first spell, but tlie combination and speed of Killeen, J. Sullivan and. C. Sullivan, which improved immensely in the second half, was too much for the visiting backs. Arnold behind the Taranaki forwards played an outstanding game and gave his backs brilliant service, Callaghan hooked the ball twice as often as his opponent, but otherwise the Taranaki forwards overshadowed Wanganui, Coull, who has scored as many tries this season as Sullivan, playing up to All Black standard. The scorers for Taranaki were C. Sullivan, Killeen, Arnold, J. Sullivan and Coull, tries. Johns converted two. For Wanganui, McPike scored a try and Welsh converted.
