CANTERBURY WINS
TARANAKI DOWN BY ONE POINT BACKS PLAY WELL Press Association STRATFORD. Thursday. The Canterbury Rugby team defeated tits Taranaki representatives today by 10 points to 9. The scores indicated fairly the merits of the teams. The visitors’ backs showed that they would be dangerous if they got away, but they were well marked and could only show flashes of crisp play.

The visitors had most of the hall, having a slight advantage in the set scrums, but in open play the forwards were evenly matched. The visiting backs ail worked well. and Scrimshaw. the rover, was always in the picture. For the winners Hart and scrimshaw scored and Mullan and Merritt each converted a try. For Taranaki <’ollins kicked two penalty goals and Guy scored an unconverted try.
