School had tho advantage in tile forwards, but in the first ?pell lost opening's through being slow to follow up. The game was fairly close, the teams being evenly ma-tched, and though the School won, a. draw would perhaps have denoted more accurately the merits of the two teams. In the opening stages, Wanganui, playing 14 men, and with the sun behind them, attacked, and their backs threw the ball about. Time and again School forwards cleared their line, M'Kay being also prominent in the defence.-Harri-son, full-back, played a great game, and saved on several occasions. School carried play to their opponents' territory. Palmer, who broke away, was well collared, and injured his knee.

Earlos failing to goal. The spell ended ?. little later. On resuming, weak play by a School 'wck let Wanganui get close to the line, but Backbcssinger, in a dashing run, carried play to centre. Svenson was responsible for taking it back, and High School had another strenuous bout of defensive work. A forward rush and 'ino passing among the back 3 enabled School to take_ a turn ait attack, and from a mark M'Kay equalised the scores with a nice goal. Play r.ow travelled up and down the field very fast, arousing the enthusiasm of the spectators. Rowe kicked too hard, and School were forced. A little later Svenson made an opening, but a forward pas* spoilt an almost certain score. An electric dash by Backbessinger and a great spurt by Hamling carried play into the visitors' twenty-five. Wanganui made a good recovery, and another period of fast play, in which both backs and forwards took part, *nded with the ball going to touch in Wanganui's twenty-five.

RUN YOUR CAR MORE CHEAPLY, Those Motorists who use "Novp-kp" testify to its economy. In many instances an increase of 25 to 33-1/3 per cent, in mileage is recorded, where this wonderful eeonomiser is used. Without "Novo-ko" every explosion in the cylinder does not give the full charge of power that it should. . Combustion is not complete, so that not only is petrol power being lost but the engine becomes dirty because of unburnt carbon which settles as each explosion occurs. Add "Novo-ko" "and complete combustion is secured, producing more power and a cleaner, sweeter running engine. Tho experience of Mr. J. Foster of Gisborne is typical. He writes: —"We gave 'Novo-ko.' a thorough trial in one of our Motor Buses and find that it made a saving in benzine of 40 per cent and also increased the power of the engine." ''Novo-ko" is now being produced in a clarified form—is guaranteed not to harm the engine and leaves no deposit in the carburettor. In appearance it resembles refined olive oil and contains no grit or stickiness. Try it—ail garages sell it as 1 pint tin, sufficient for SO gallons. 17s()d- h gallon tin, sufficient for 180 gallons. "No-vo-ko" is now produced in a clarified form, and is absolutely guaranteed not to harm the engine in any way nor to clog l Die valves. Almost water white, it leaves absolutely no depssit, has little odour, and is guaranteed entirely free from stickiness or sediment of any kind. The company is replacing all old stock with this new clarified "Novo-ko." Ren that you get it. You can easily tell it by the attractive five color label. If you have a tin of old "Novo-ko" bring it back to your dealer who will be glad to exchange it for the new produce." Write for Free Booklet, N.Z: Fuel Economises, Ltd., Wanganui. I ' ]
