LEADERS’ LAST GAME.

STAG TROPHY FOOTBALL TECHNIOAL OLD BOYB MEET BTARB SERIES DRAWING TO A CLOSE After winning the Stag Trophy for the 1937 Rugby season last Saturday, Technical Old Boys should be in good form to-morrow when they take the field in the major fixture at Rugby Park for their last competition game this season. Considerable interest should be taken in the game, for Rugby enthusiasts will have their final opportunity of seeing the champions in action in the 1937 series. An excellent programme has been arranged for the public at the park to-morrow. Technical Old Boys will he opposed by Cambridge Stars in the main game locally. If the weather is fine Technical should be capable of giving an exhibition of as high a standard as the game last week, which won the trophy for the team. If that is the case the crowd will see fast and open Rugby. Should the weather be wet Cambridge Stars will have enhanced prospects of holding the champions within a reasonable limit. Old Boys Play Marlst. The other game to be played at headquarters to-morrow will be the i meeting of Old Boys and Marist. Both Old Boys and Frankton have two more matches to play, and will be anxious to win both of them, as only one point separates the two teams in the fight for second honours in the competition. Old Boys should the first of these two games against Marist to-morrow, but if the ball Is at all slippery they will not have matters all their own way. At Te Awamutu, Frankton meet Rovers, and may he expected to win, but the game will he an interesting tussle. The contest between Cambridge Blues and Te Awamutu, to be played at Cambridge, should be an even one, in which the honours may be reaped by g/ther team.
