LONDON, Oct. 10.
Rosslyn Park to-day defeated New Zealand Army by 26 to 5. The New Zealand forwards played well against a strong Rosslyn Park combination, in which the back line was too fast and too skilful for the New Zealand backs, who failed to settle dov/n. Four international players — H. A. Fry, E. J. Unwin, R. E. Prescott, and E. J. Williams— scored for Rosslyn Park before half-time, when the New Zealanders were 18 points in arrears.

Bradley to convert from a wide angle. The Higli Commissioner, Mr Jordan, and a fair sprinkling of other New Zealand .barrackers were present The Dominion team was : Backs, Lieutenant J. D.
