Eoxton 3 —llui Mai 0. The reverse awakened the latent energies of the Hui Mais. From a serum live yards from Eoxton goalline, Jacob whipped the ball to Eopata on the blind side, and he forced his way over. No goal resulted. Three all. A short while after, Burgess had to retire with a strained ankle, and Healey filled the gap. Within a few minutes, Wilson kicked down the field, followed up, and Healey, making a feeble effort to return the ball, Wilson scored. Hui Mai o—Eoxton0 —Eoxton 3. The second spell had been under way a short while when Mo Hi i kicked high into midj lield, followed up, and smothered .the backs, Baker scoring. Taylor missed the goal. Six all.
