ALL BLACKS' FIRST MATCH

The Hole In The Defence

(Special Air Mail Service)

London, September 18.

Thirty years ago New Zealand beat Devonshire in the first match of the tour by 55 points to 4; in 1924, on a rainy day which kept scoring tow," the winning score was 11 points to nothing. In yesterday's match at Devonport Rectory Field, where Devonshire and Cornwall combined to form the opposition, the points were as near as may be half-way between 55 and 11. New Zealand scor- ed 2 goals, a dropped goal, 3 penalty goals, and 4 tries to a penalty goal and a try.

..'

This may be taken by some as an augury that the present team will be somewhere between the two earlier touring sides for merit. Whether this augury proves true or not, the important point in the scoring is that by scoring a try Devon and Cornwall have encouraged all other sides who will meet the tourists to seek for a hole in the defence. Each of the preceding "Ah Blacks" teams kept their lines from. being crossed for their first four matches."
