Martin, M. Matangi. and J. Mitchell. The visitors had slightly the better of the game, although New South Wales gave a good, clean exhibition. The New Zealand forwards were affected by the smaller goal rings and the heavier ball. The winners had most of the play, but their shooting was inaccurate. Victoria beat Tasmania, 33-12. The Alt-Australia team to meet New Zealand tomorrow will be chosen from the following: B. Douglas, L. McConchie, R. Coffey, D. Middleton, D. Eckhart, M. Linton and J. Wood (Victoria), R. Good and M. Ritcher (South Australia), and E. Medcalf (New South Wales).
