Then the school forwards broke away and took the ball to the other end ; but Durham intercepted a pass and scored a runaway try. Play was again taken to the Durham 25,' where, after a good dribble by A. C. Molony and F. E. Ferguson, F. Ferguson just failed to score. Just before half-time Durham again scored. Half-time score : Durham, 2I pts., York, nil. After half-time Durham again had the best of the play, scoring three unconverted tries. Some good forward rushes took the play to the other end, but Durham cleared. Brode and Barry were noticeable for good tackling. Lacy intercepted and gained ground by a good kick, and from a scrum on the Durham line Lacy scored. The kick failed. Soon after the dropout the York backs again got going, but Peters lost a certain try by failing to pass to Shann.

The York scrum held their opponents well and often got the ball, although their average weight was at least a stone lighter. All the forwards played well, A. B. Molony, F. E. Ferguson, Price Jones and A. C. Molony being especially conspicuous. The halves played well, considering how much stronger and faster the opposing pair were. Lacy at threequarters played a fine game and Baskett, at full-back, considering the amount of knocking about he got, also did well.

ST. PETER'S v. LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

Played at Leeds, November 19th. York won the toss and Leeds opened the game so vigorously that York were pressed for the first ten minutes. The school then showed signs of waking-up and the forwards got the ball out to the backs, who, however, dropped their passes almost every time. At last Lacy got the ball and scored between the posts ; Brode converting. Soon after from a line-out A. C. Molony scored far out. A. C. Molony failed with the kick. Even play followed, but at last from a pass by Peters, Fernandes scored. The kick failed. Three minutes before half-time Wood scored and Brode converted. Half-time : School, 21 pts ; Leeds G.S., nil.

On re-starting the game, York pressed and Peters got over the line, but lost the ball. F. Ferguson, however, touched down. Brode converted. Leeds then took play to the school 25,' and had bad luck in not scoring. Play was then taken back to the Leeds 25,' where it remained for the rest of the game, except for two fine runs by G. H. Smith, and forward rushes by Leeds. After this tries were scored in fairly quick succession by F. Ferguson, Fernandes (2), Peters and Lacy, of which Brode converted three. Final score :- School, +7 pts. ; Leeds G.S., nil.
