McAdam. a new recruit to Technionl‘s ranks, sent down a long shot from the centre or the field, placing his team in a handy position.

resulted in a win for Old Boys 'by seven goals to two. In the tint spell Old Boys held the margin of attack, but throughout the second half selfishness on the part, of the inside forwards and the aggression or the opposing defence changed the complexion of play. The teams were:— Colts.-——~McKinnon, Clark, Ross. Clough, Badcock. Curtets, Cromwell, Perrett. Parker, Hammond. Old Boyst—Pountney, McKtbben,t Mclntyre, Morgan, Jacka, Hamilton,‘ West. Davies.

Davies, \Vest and Hamilton were associated in a passing rush down field which culminated in an attempt at goal, but McKinnon kicked clear. Old Boys soon returned and \Vest goaled from a scramble in the circle to make the score 7—2 in Old Boys‘ favour. The game ended without addition to the tallies. The umpires were Messrs R.- \V.
