THE WOMEN’S CLUBS Ttie third series of games in the ond round of the A.L.H.A. competi- ' w hich will be played next SatLjjy, will begin at 1.50 p.m. in order iat the trials for the two representateams for the Country Week lournament may bo held afterwards. on paper it would seem that the •*o probables and Possibles teams nosen by the selectors for the trials rather better than any Auckland fielded before. But trouble is •uallJ l experienced in securing leave J absence from employment for the "layers, and it is not yet known exP c tiy how the teams will appear on the neld. * « * The arrangements for the tournament arc well in hand, and although t he entries do not close until next \ionday, sufficient have already been received to indicate that the fixture will be a success. Rodney, the latest sub-association to join up. has already announced that . w j;l enter two teams for the tournament. and the Collegiate teams, which recently affiliated themselves with the association, have also indicated that they wish to enter at least one team. . „ , Saturdays Games. Mount Eden dominated play for the greater part 0 ( its game against Somerville last Saturday. Somerville put up a stubborn defence, but could not keep the score from mounting to four goals to one . Mrs. I-lauilin played a valuable -anie for Mount Eden, scoring two of The goals, and Miss P, H. Dawson took nil! advantage of every chance offered ber * a • Arawa showed the effects of not having palyed the pi'evious week in its >,djne against Wesley, and Wesley did not play with its usual dash. Both teams, as a result, were very evenly matched, and the same ended in a dr;,\v. Infringements of the obstructed rules were a noticeable feature of the game on both sides.
