Playing only thirteen men for almost three-quarters of the game, the Whites led by A. M. Kennedy, did extremely well to avoid a crushing defeat at the hands of the Blacks, captained by R. H. Roe, at the Race Course yesterday afternoon ana, putting their backs to the wall, were able to prevent their opponents from scoring at will, the final result reading fifteen points to six in the Blacks' favour.
The game was played at a fast pace throughout and. although the well-watered ground had the effect of making the ball rather greasy, several excellent movements were gone through by both sides, the handling in the main, being up to a high standard. The packs, however, had the greater part of the game to themselves, but despite the fact that ihe Whites were two men short in ihe front line, they were not dispossessed as often as they might have been The Blacks' outsides, especially Read, showed up well, while Mills at full-back, played a very-well judged game, his kicking and tackling being most useful Of the Whites, A. M. Kennedy and Mc-Michael were the pick.
CLUB BLACKS: C. M. Mills; P. 7. A. Innes, A. P. D. Kennedy, A. S. Read, 2. M. M. Martin; R. H.
