Tho dentals certainly deserve a pat on le back for the plucky stand they ade, as their opponents were men ho have gal red a name in tho otball field, and by drawing with em, the Orientals have proved cmselves equal to any junior team the district.

They dribbled splendidly, and in the scrums and the line out were always to the fore, i 'For the Blacks, all the hacks were conspicuous both in aggressive work and on the defence. Thompson was especially kllliant, and I have never ', seen him show up to better advan- *) lagc. He was ably backed up by ■ Galloway and Jackson, playimrihto one another's hands in fino style, and a smarter set of three-quarters no junior team could wish to have.
