CONTRIBUTE TO DEFEAT

New Zealander's Brawn & Brain

MASTERLY DISPLAY SPLAY

(By H. B.)

Reasons why the New Zealand Universities rugby team had taken everything in its stride in its Japan tour were obvious in yesterday's return match with Hongkong on the Club ground. Quicker decisions, specdier work and surer handling left the local team standing, the visitors winning 26 to nil.

Curiously the wide margin in the scores did not truly indicate the game: Fast and never one-sided from New Zealand's initial tricky kick-off it always had the attention of the extraordinarily large crowd and never lapsed into the uninteresting display the scores suggested.

WINNING

New Zealand's margin might havej been greater, for Tricklebank's un- converted tries were not the most dificult of his earlier successful nt- temple, but perhaps the fading light accounted for that. On the other hand, Hongkong's margin might have. been smaller for at times it unwound runs that were worthy of greater reward.

COLONY'S INDECISION

But it was Hongkong's indecision generally and its slowness to the bali that gave the visitors most of their points. This was never more exempli- fied than in New Zealand's fourth try.
