Riiru, Oliver, Pennell, 'Fenwiek,'Burke, Fuller, Richards, Feakins, Skelton, Mackay, Allen, iPenman, and Oliver. ■Waimate opened and pressed strongly throughout. The defence of the College was good, hchvever, and the Wai-! mate team, who were heavier and contained a sprinkling of older youths, could score twice, Tlickev and 0. Roberts getting over as the result of fine passing bouts, one of which Fergiissoi* converted. The plainsmen pressed hard, passing weM, font the College always cleared their lines, and the spelil ended: Waimate S, Technical College nil. * With the advantage of the wind it was generally expected that the College would win comfortaiblv, 'but the lads failed to play up to expectations, whilst Waimate tackled well and, though forced several times, 'kept their line intact. College had all the better of the spell, Ibut both back and forwards failed to press home their advantage. Olives had several shots from free kicks, one of which he piloted over the bar as the result of a great kick. Mr. W. Cleaver rcfereed. WAIMATE v. HIGH SCHOOL.
