HIGGLEDY-PIGGLEDY LEAGUE
Weather Plays Ducks and Drakes with Recent Form in Competition SURPRISING REVERSALS OF FORM LEAGUE football prophecies were knocked into a cocked hat on Saturday. It was a day of surprising results and unexpected reversals of form. Devonport had a further two points shorn off its lead in the competition, and City crashed badly against Ellerslie. The sensation of the day, however, was the eclipse of Newton, which beat Ponsonby in the opening round by 22 points to 13, and was in its turn overwhelmed by Delgrosso and Co. on Saturday to the tune of 17 points to 3—a staggering difference of 23 points in two matches.
