INTER-COLLEGE RUGBY

WIN FOR KING’S

WANGANUI BEATEN (From Our Own Correspondent) WANGANUI. Wednesday. By a margin of 15 points to 3, King’s College, Auckland, beat Wanganui Collegiate School at Rugby today unde.r conditions which were all against a finished display of football. The ground was like a stockyard, and rain was falling heavily when the teams came off at the finish, plastered with mud and dirt. The Auckland boys were too strong all round for Wanganui. They were bigger and faster, and, on a dry day, they would probably have run up a bigger score. A .rather remarkable feature of the winners’ score was that each of the three tries were scored by the same player, Caughey, and each one was converted by Gillett. Wanganui secured its only score late in the game, when Rainbow beat two King’s men in a race to touch down over the King’s line, and scored an unconverted try.
