[2] He was named as an emergency player in Lower Waikato's Endean Shield match with King Country on August 7 but did not take the field.

His try came after receiving a pass from Wilson Hall and “beat practically the Hamilton team, [and] scored beneath the posts” before also converting the try.

[4][5] Hutt then played for South Auckland against Hawkes Bay in a match at Napier on September 9 which they lost 15–13.

After the match was completed the selectors chose him to play in the front row for South Auckland against the touring England.

[20] And then 3 days later on August 23 he kicked a conversion for Lower Waikato against Hamilton in an Endean Shield match which they won 20–2 at Huntly.

[31] After two rounds of club games the newspaper reported that he gave “one of the best exhibitions of forward play given at Carlaw Park this season…from start to finish he was dashing, and few better displays have been seen in Auckland.

On that showing he would at least be entitled to consideration as a possibility for the New Zealand team, and it will be interesting to note his form in matches to come”.

[32] Then after their round 6 match with Marist Old Boys it was said he played with “great elan and dash and when occasion offered worked with his backs in the manner that is expected of a versatile forward”.

Auckland won easily by 49 points to 15 before a crowd of 8,000 at Carlaw Park with Hutt playing in the second row.

Auckland won back the Northern Union Challenge Cup in a 22–3 with Hutt scoring a try wide out after receiving a pass from Allan Seagar who had intercepted.

[48] On July 11 he played in an Auckland trial match as they were beginning preparations for the England tour the following month.

So many had gathered to watch the game that the gates had to be closed a short time before kick off as the ground reached capacity and 3,000 were left outside.

[59] It was also reported in the Manawatu Times that with the exception of Hutt and Goodall, we have no league forwards in New Zealand to-day equal to these [English] men, and very few in Union Rugby either”.

[62] Hutt played 5 further matches for Ponsonby but their season ended when they were knocked out of the Roope Rooster competition with a loss to Richmond Rovers in the semi-finals.

The St Helens team was strong though they did not win any titles after suffering a controversial loss in the Challenge Cup semi-final at their home ground of Knowsley Road.

It was said that he was known as “the daddy of them all” as he was a “strongly built man who was extremely difficult to tackle and despite his status as a forward had the pace to play in the threequarters if required”.

They were going to refuse to play in the Challenge Cup semi-final against Wigan but a ‘deal’ was brokered by the mayor Alderman Tom Boscow.

And on October 1 later that year he played for a similar international side against England and scored a try in a 31–18 loss at Knowsley Road, St Helens.

[67] Then on June 17 the New Zealand Herald reported that he had completed his contract and “is likely to play for his old [Ponsonby] club during the present season” which had been underway for 2 months.

Hutt said that “they take their football in the North of England with profound seriousness, and on his arrival two years ago he soon realised that conditions and play were vastly different from what he had been accustomed to…in the first four matches I had to stand up to the greatest hammering I have ever had in my life.

Unfortunately, I did not strike form as quickly as Hall, who, in the first season made a great name for himself, while I ended in hospital with appendicitis.

They have the two best wingers in the world – Alf Ellaby first and Hardgrave second…We played ankle deep or more in mud practically the whole of this last year, during which I had determined to make a thorough success of myself or give up the game.

All the clubs have been feeling the effects of the general depression, and their financial position has been rendered worse by an unusually wet season”.

When a man can run 130 yards at full pace ten times in an evening, and do it with ease, he may be said to be ready to see out a fast match.

[75] The match carried added weight as the selectors were looking to choose the New Zealand side for the test series against England.

[80] Following the second test Hutt was chosen for a New Zealand Presidents XIII side to play England in Wellington and were thrashed 59 to 8.

The team finished 3rd in the Fox Memorial championship under his leadership and were knocked out of the Roope Rooster competition in the semi-final and then lost the Phelan Shield final against Newton Rangers.

[99] Then the following weekend after returning to Auckland he played against the touring Australian side with Australia winning 16 to 8 before a crowd of 15,000 at Carlaw Park.

He scored the only try of his test career after Lou Brown made a break and Hutt eventually received a pass from Cliff Satherley.

The side struggled however and came last in the Fox Memorial competition and were knocked out in the first round of the Roope Rooster and suffered the same fate in the Phelan Shield.
