The above schools met at the Hongkew Recreation Ground on Saturday. St. Navier's won the toss and elected to play against the wind. Immediately after the kick-off St. Xavier's pressed, but the Hanbury backs cleared time after time. Then Seredkin sent the Hanbury forwards away within a fine pass to the right wing, but the resulting centre from Smith was not utilized. A great deal of up-and-down the field play followed, but the backs on both sides were very safe and half-time art with no score, St. Xavier's having had much the better of the play in the first half.
