The Australians were far from Impressive until near The end. Their forwards took a hammering in the scrums and line-outs, but much of the good work by the Irish pack went astray through too much kick- ing by G. Hurdy, the Leinster wing half.

With Leinster defending desperately for the last Tew minutes, M. Meadows, the Australian hooker, burst over for a try which A. Harvey converted.
In the first half, Connolly landed a penalty gual for Leinster and Hardy scored a try which Connolly eonverted. 6. Bailey crossed for a Wallaby try which Harvey converted.--China Mail Special.

Peter Waterman And His Conqueror Are Anxious To Meet A Fourth Time
By ARCHIE QUICK
For a man with three burning ambitions, Peter Waterman, Britain's Welterweight Boxing Champion, finds himself in a tantalising post- tion. He has his sights set on Marconi's European title, Barnes': Empire crown and Joe Brown's world championship. Those schemes disappeared in the London mists temporarily, at least when he was unexpectedly outpointed by Trinidad's tough-as-teak Boswell St. Louis.
