This match was originally arranged for December 3rd, but since the school team would have been weakened by the absence of some members who were in for scholarship examinations, St. John's very kindly agreed to play earlier. The school kicked off against the sun, and for some time play continued in the John's 252 York failed to score on several occasions, owing to Wood trying to run through on the blind side of the scrum. St. John's then, by good kicking, kept the school in their own 25.' After some good play one of their centre threequarters scored, the goal being kicked. Froin the kick-off the school pressed and Lacy scored far out, Peters making a good attempt at goal. Just before half-time St. John's scored an unconverted try. Half-time score : St. John's, 8 pts., School, 3 pts. On the resumption many scrums took place in mid-field, till the York hacks were set in motion and Peters was collared on the line. The game remained in the John's ' 25,' and A. B. Molony ran and passed to H. P. Jones, who dropped over the line under the posts. Brode had no difficulty in converting. John's then broke away and scored from a mis-kick by Brode. Matthews then headed a dribbling rush to the John's 25,' but John's managed to clear. F. Ferguson made a splendid opening for Peters to score, A. C. Molony kicking a good goal. With ten minutes left for play the game became exciting.
