White converted tiie first try. and Steel made a good attempt- from near the line with the second try, the score being 3 to ft> at half time. Jn the second half the game was much more even, hut the play <ontinued very poor and ragged.

His place kicking was easily the best feature of the day. United uutt'cu along their forward play being easily superior. From a loose rush Bell scared, hut the kick was a. poor one.
