feits have been posted for the boxers

ST. N|ARYS

New Zealand won what was sup
posed to be game of Rugby football
against the ST. Mary's college boys
yesterday at st. Ignatius stadium by
a score Of 26 to 0. 1t was not New
Zealand's fault nor the college boys
fault that the game failed to be an
exhibition of Rugby. The blame rests
with our old college chum, Jupe Pluve.
and the surface of ST. Ignatius ground
failing to agree. Jupe shed his tears
a-plenty the day before. and the
ground, with its nice. red. sticky
adobe. prevented the playing of
Rugby.
Though st. Mary's held the New
Zealanders to the lowest score of
their tour, the visitors did not play
the game that they did on the muddy
California field. The unheard of con-
ditions of having to play in the mud
failed to appeal to the New Zealand
ers, and no one blamed them very
much for just about playing well
enough to win.
At that. however. the St. Mary's de-
fense was good and they held the Wis
itors to advantage, and in the second
spell the Oakland collegians started
one or two passing rushes. In which
they handled the sticky. greasy ball
to advantage.
New Zealand scored four tries in the
first half through the efforts of Doug
las, who tailed two tries. and Cuthill
and Dick Roberts, one each. BY an
extraordinary effort Roberts converted
one try. making the score at half time
IA to 0. In the second half Love
ridge. Roberts and Cuthill. with two
tries. Tailed, making the final score
26 points.

Coach Schaeffer announced the blue
and gold varsity team late last night.
The Is men to take the field constitute
the lineup that the fans had expected.
If there is any slight surprise at all
1t is the placing of Freshman Skinner
at fullback. The workout given this
lad down at Stanford the other day,
however. was so noticeable that the
few who witnessed the practice Of the
blue and gold had good grounds to
believe that the coaches were going to
use Skinner instead of Bogardus.
The surmise for a week past has
been that Sterling Peart might have
been used as fullback and even now
there may be possible chance of see
ing the skipper there. As to whether
Peart plays fullback or five-eighths
depends entirely on the weather con-
ditions on the day of the game.
The Peart-Hazeltine combination at
FIVE eighths back is splendid one
and the two men have been showing

will only be as last resort to
strengthen the fullback position that
the coaches would consider breaking
up this combination.
Canfield has won over Montgomery
as halfback, though the selection is
not one to occasion any surprise.
Montgomery has shown himself a
good halfback, but Canfieid has dis
played better form. Garfield has
played a consistent game throughout
the season and has earned his place
on the team.
