AUCKLAND DEFEATS HAWKE’S BAY BY 20 TO 3.
Per Press Association^ Napier, last night. The representative football match, Auckland v. Hawke’s Bay, ’was played here to-day in fine though Bomewhat warm weather. The visitors had the beßt of the game all through, though in the first spell Hawke’s Bay defended well, and at times got on soma good rushes, but these were nullified by wild passing. In the last half of the second spell the Hawke’s Bay backs became demoralised, the game ending in a win for Auckland by 20 points to 3. The forwards were fairly equally matched, though the visitors on the whole showed more combination, but it was in the back division, where their superiority was most marked, and they simply ran over the local backs at tho' finish.
