Awtar Singh, did not participate in last Sunday's game, but judged by the score, K.I.T.C. did fairly well without him. The champions have at the
moment the best record in the tournament, but I do not think the CAER CUP GAME exclusion of Awar Singh will materially hinder the club's pros- pects.

CANPLAYERS BE MOVED FROM TEAM TO TEAM?
Query Raised By Some Mamak .
League Competitors
CAN a club which has two teams in the Mamak Tournament shift
"B" team players into the "A" team? This is the question now being asked by a number of players, and the reply seems to be in the affirmative.
Actually there is no rule governing the position, but as "B" teams are generally recognised as being inferior to "A" teams, there does not seem to be any tangible reason why "R" players should not be put into senior teams.
At the same time it is certainly essential to guard against the possible practice of transferring "A" players to "B" teams. To do this would not be "hockey". At their last meeting the Mamak' Committee decided to leave the question to the discretion of club secretaries, but I think I can state authoritatively that the com- mittee would very soon sit up and take notice if clubs started to abuse the privilege.
It just isn't done!
