FULLY extended by Old Scotch for the first

three quarters, University Blacks went away in the last term to a good win in the Amateur Football Association's second semi-final on Saturday.

Old Scotch held its own In the first quarter because of its speed and better marking, but Blacks were more purposeful forward. Blacks scored goals where Old Scotch, from similar opportunities, crowded the for-ward play and missed chances.

Still attacking strongly, Old Scotch scored two goals early in the second quarter. A rather lucky goal to Blacks was fol-lowed by a beautiful shot by King from centre half -forward,, and Blacks went ahead again, but fine defensive play by Eggleston (Old Scotch) pre-vented them from taking full

control.

Gaining drive from a winning centre line. Old Scotch rushed the ball forward in the third quarter for two quick goals. Blacks became rattled, and Old Scotch kept up the attack to reduce Blacks' lead to five points at three-quarter time.

I Blacks improved in all posi-tions in the last quarter, and

¡Weight and a stronger finish gave the side a winning advan-tage, and Old Scotch graduallv fell behind
