EXPERIMENTS WITH CORNER RULE
Colony Clubs Should Give Trials To New Hockey Suggestion
AT A MEETING of the International Board in 1937, when a discussion ensued on the corner rufe, a recommendation went forth to the four British governing bodies that further playing ex- periments should be undertaken with a view to adopting a practical schome which would have the main support of the playing community.
Several suggestions were put forward, and the follow- ing proposal came from an Indian player:
"As a rule, the penalty hit should be takon ten yards from the post nearest the striker, and it is always found advantageous for the opponents to take the hit from the left.
THE Orst Ave players from the
left should stand some one or two feet behind the goul-fine, pre- pared for the rush. The centre-half should go slow as to follow and cover his forwards, and see where the ball is received. The left back, gontkeeper and right back, while starding in thei qual, should be ready to face the hit. The right-half is to stand stationary, with right-in and right-aulside for- wards to rush to follow the ball
it escapes the attackers."
