Hull, president of the Australian association, as chairman and Mrs P. Rooney, New South Wales, Miss M. Hargreave, South Australia, and Mrs H. D. Muir and Miss M. E.

In a match against South Australia today, New Zealand were beaten, 4714. Showers kept the grass greasy and the New Zealanders found it difficult to keep a footing. They were handicapped by the personal contact allowed under the Australian rules. South Australia’s shooting was accurate. The New Zealand team was: Miss M. Tangye, Miss E. Neame, Miss M. Howe. Miss M. Martin, Nwiss M. Matangi, Miss J. Mitchell, Miss R. Butcher. Other games today resulted: New South Wales beat Tasmania, 20-15; Victoria beat Queensland, 53-9.
