Srun notched 2 troals in this period, and up ihe .-hance of ends both sides played viRoroydy. At times clever lacro-se wa- contiibuted by both tcims Tonkin and Linton being conspicuous for Uoodiroad, with Ka«inon-i. liorcon, Wnodhead, sr.d M.-Lcav fisurinV prominently for Sturt. The keen deicn.e aV both en.L- rtill prevailed. a:id repeated attacks were repulsed. V. Selth sco.-ed a li.ic s°al ior sJtuil, tbe only poiat secured during this quarter. Aucr the Ions inienal a Goo.hvoori rufii wa- checked, and the home side returned to tlie attack. Fine Mickwork «i each tide and well-judged intcrccptinc ( marked tile progress of the thiid term. Stun | inanoouvred more f-ucces''ial!y and raised their -mre to 6—0 at the final i-hange-cver.

The | o|-po--nc back line stemmed the tide, and otv-a- j -ionallv' fine da-hes were frartrated in brilliant | time. ' The final scores were S— 0, in favour of ; Sru.-t. and in --onsequence they have secured the 1921 premiership.
