Inc Rugby game between the bar
barians and the California freshman
squad on California field yesterday at
tracted more than 1000 people
and the display of Rugby seen was
far above what was expected. The
Barbsrians eventually won by Il
points TO 3. but throughout the game
the veteran Barbs were hard pushed
by their younger opponents.
The display of Rugby in the first
half would have done credit to a much
more experienced team than d bunch
Of freshies. The splendid passing rushes
started by the halfback and continued
with unerring accuracy by the backs
was the feature Of the play The
freshies in this half pushed the Barbs
all the time. and at half time the
score was 3 to 0 in favor of the Cali
fornia team. Coach Schaeher at the
half time interval decided to try out
an entire new fifteen and the men who
took the field in the second half did
not show UP anywhere near the stand
ard Of the first team O'Hara, the Cali
fornia fullback, in the first half showed
a marvellous boot, his finding of touch
being good and the accuracy of his
k4Gk4ME 1OQAA llOA tAdRG bCNA AlAplONCA
upon Roy MCNEIL. the former st.
Msry's player. also showed up TO great
advantage Hale Bailey also did good
work for the freshies.
For the Barbarians Mckenzie,
Parker Johns and Phillips were in
everything. Spencer fielded the ball
wei. kicked and tackled in splendid
style at fun. Browne was the pick of
a really capable pack of forwards-one
OF the best packs the Barbs have had
for some time.
The Barbarians kicked off and the
ba bies returned Johns returned the
kick and the California men marked,
and sent the ball out of touch. In
loose. play Browne OF the Barps was
prominent. The play was in midheld
when Mckenzie picked up in the loose
and ira nsferred the seat of hostlllt1eS
10 the California danger zone. Browne
again ca me TO the front and took the
ball 10 the California goal line, but
score was lost through the Barbs not
supporting the runner. JohnS and NC NC
kenzie made a passing rush that again
took play 10 within five yards OF the
California line. Here California was
awarded a free kick and the ball was
kicked out at half way which relieved
the pressure on the California goal
line. California now livened up and
with a series of spectacular and tell
ing passing rushes took play into the
Bsrbs' territory
The Barbs came back to the attack
and sent the ball down 10 o Hara- he
latter felded the bali well and with a
magnificent long punt sent II out OF
touch in good position in the Barbs
territory. Thrown in from touch the
California lads continued to attack,
and several passing bouts of real merit
eventually enabled the blue and gold
10 score. The bout that Edgerly, Nc
Neill and Hale took part in enabled
Hale 70 score well deserved try. The
kick at goal was q failure and at half
time the score had not been changed.
Score. California 3. Barbarians O.
With an entire new team the fresh
men kicked of and the play for some
der The new freshmen did not seem
20 work in the same hunison that
marked the efforts OF the former team,
while the Barbs appeared to have i'm
the fine passing and Parker, Phillips
and Mex enzie enacted little 80 yard
run that enabled the latter TO score.
Brownies kick at goal failed and the
scOreboard showed California 3. Bar
From the dropout the Barbs again
came TO the attack and the blue and
gold babies were given sound drill
ing in defensive tactics. Parker start
ed another pretty rush by sending the
ball TO Johns. then on TO Mckenzie and
the latter sent II back to Parker, who
scored between the posts and Browne
added the points for the goal Score,
Ba rbsrians 8, California 8.
Loose play was in vogue for some
time and the Barbs were Derceptibly
tiring but they still had enough to
enable Sheehan TO score try. Browne;
however. could not kick the goal and
the score was Barbarian II, Cali
fornia 8.
California now livened up and rushed
the ball down the field, but the Barbs
put up good defense and the full
time whistle ended hostilitles with
play in midheld.
