Raising The Standard
Operation Of Advantage Rule: Penalise At Umpire's Discretion
KHALSA NARROWLY
BEAT
EFFICIENT UMPIRING will do much to raise Khalsa the whole standard of hockey in training players to observe the Rules. Efficiency, however does not depend on penalising every breach.
Subject to two paramount considerations, namely, (1) an umpire must obtain and retain complete con- trol of the game,
(2) he must never allow an advantage to be gained by a breach of the Rules, and the whistle should be used as sparingly as possible.
Hockey Association League Table
To attain this object, it is necessary to make the fullest. possible use of the "Advantage Rule" 17 (d). In certain circuma. tances, the decision must be de- layed long enough to give this rule time to operate. But a decision, when made, should be given decisively and loudly, and R. Engineers once the "Advantage" rule has Recreio been put into operation, the ori-Police "B" Police "A" ginal breach must be considered Khalse as not having occurred.

As soon as the players realise that they have an umpire whte meons to enforce the rules, it will generally be found that rough play will cease. One let n game get out of hand and it will be difficult to pull it together after- wards.
It is most important for an pire to be in the correct poslilon to see any breaches of the rules, and, In particular to determine accurate- ly whether a player is on-side or
off-side,
When an attack is developing, the best position is probably close to the touch line, and level with the third] defender. When the ball is inside the circle, offences such as obstruc- tion are difcult to detect from a touch-line position.
An umpire should, therefore, come in. towards the circle.and near the goal-line in order to be in the best position.

In a breakway, however, the In- dians again took the lead through Gurbachan Singh, who cleverly beat Benwell after Club's left back had missed an easy clearance.

Bowden And Paul In Excellent Form
(By "Fly-half")
A GRAND DISPLAY by Bowden at scrum-half for a Navy XV in the second half of yesterday's game with Club "A" enabled the sailors to win convincingly by 14 points (a goal, two tries and à penalty goal) to nil. Paul, up against Wilson, was also in splendid form, His try revealed something of last year's form.
