Raising The Standard
Operation Of Advantage Rule: Penalise At Umpire's Discretion
EFFICIENT UMPIRING will do much to raise 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.
To attain this object, it is necessary to make the fullest possible use of the "Advantago Rufe” 17 (d). In certain circums- tances, the decision must be de- layed long enough to give this
rule time to operate. But a decision, when made, should be

2nd M.T.B. Destroyers
It is most important for an Univeralty pire to be in the correct position to séo any breaches of the rules, and, in particular to determine nocurate- ly whether a player is on-side or off-xide.
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 difficult to detect from a touch-line position.
An umpire should, therefore, como in towards the circle and near the goal-line in order to be in the best position.

THE
INCREASED PACE
He pace increased in the second Iralf, and Club forced Khalsa on the defensive, Guest equalised when Souza was late in clearing. Club forwards were doing all the pressing and Souza, in the Khalen's goal, did very well in keeping them from scoring.
In a breakway, however, the In- dians again took the lead through Gurbachan Singh, who cleverly beat Benwell after Club's left back had mlased on easy clearance.

Although losing the ball in the majority of the sot scrums, the Navy forwards broke up so fast, and dribbled to such advantage that any advantage gained by Club was nullified.
