CONTRIBUTE TO DEFEAT

New Zealander's Brawn & Brain

MASTERLY DISPLAY

(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, speedier 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.

On the other hand, Hongkong's margin might have been smaller for at times it unwound greater runs that were worthy of reward.
