Rovers then took a hand, and Webster scrambled over, scored, but no try was awarded. Loveridge had better luck, and, though well collared by Malone, crossed Okato’s line and touched down in a handy position. Thompson’s kick failed.

Football commenced among the primary schools on Saturday, when despite inclement weather most of the matches were played. The local boys, who have been victorious for the last three yeans, and who hold the champion Shield, visited Inglewood, where, although their, team was very much weakened by boys leaving, school, they were successful, winning by the handsome majority of fifteen points (five tries) to three (a try.) The ground was heavy and sodden, arid the play suffered considerably, but Stratford put u j> a very good performance, the backs showing some combination, and the forwards working together well. In the first half Stratford played with the wind and notched two tries. In the second Sspell, niainly through good passing by Nolan and Kivell, six more points were immediately registered. Inglewood then scored, Stratford touching down again before time was sounded. The scorers were Stan Simmons, T. Dobson, J. Nolan, aiyl N. Kivell (2) J , while Ray Hobson scored for Inglewood.
