Cambridge steadily worked an advantage, and Powdriii. with .\luiier in support, snap-shottod a pretty goal from a stiff angle.

A bright movement followed when Graham, from inside his own circle, took the ball the length of the held, supported by Burrows. In an irresistible rush they br.u&hed away Linder’s defence and Burrows goaled vigorously for the second time from a handy position. Old Technicals kept pressing, but their forwards could show no penetration. McAdam saved Technicals with a dong clearing shot when a lively Kaipaki sortie initiated by Bones appeared likely to culminate successfully. Shepherd Saves Well. Shepherd was responsible for a fine save in face of a hot attack by the opposition vanguard, getting the ball away cleanly after a goaling effort by A. Boyd. Half-time came with the margin still in favour of Kaipaki. Even play was seen for the few minutes following the interval, but another Kaipaki thrust had Technical defending desperately in the circle. Clark was conspicuous for a great save when Dunwoody headed a hard rush into the circle. The play was lacking the sting of the first half, but Technical offered a diversion when they set up a strong attack on Kaipaki’s goal. De Lacey took tho ball down and centred to Hunter, who made a great bid to goal, but Smillie proved safe. An identical movement was seen a few minutes later, but Smillie made good use of iiis pads to send the ball out of the danger zone. Clough made a good attempt to hoist Technical’s colours, but ids shot was wide. Kaipaki again had another turn on attack when A. Boyd was conspicuous in a solo effort that was frustrated in goal. The game ended with Kaipaki still in front by 2 goals to 0. Messrs W. G. Fabling and F. B. L. Craig were tho umpires. JUNIOR GAMES. In the .junior division Kaipaki proved superior to Technical A by 1 goals to 0, while Old Technicals B ran out winners against old Boys by 5 goals to 3. Sage (3), Jones and Snell were the goal-getters for the winners, while Sandford obtained three for Old Boys. Old Technicals A won by default from Hinemoa. PIAKO ASSOCIATION.
