HOCKEY RULES

Bolt-In Breaches Must Be Stopped

BALL INVARIABLY BOUNCED: OBSTRUCTION FREQUENT

With the exception of the rale that deals with obstruction, there' is no rule in hockey which is so 14, utterly disregarded as Rale which deals with the roll-in. Very few half-backs roll the ball into play. It is invariably bounced into the field with an underhand bowling motion.

Very few half-backs stand out- side the field of play when they are rolling in the ball, though the rule states distinctly that hands. feet, and stick must be behind! the side-line. Umpires seldom penalise a half-back for a breach of the roll-in rule.

It is difficult to see why um- pires should be so lenient with this particular offenders once 07 twice to impress; upon them the proper method of rolling-in.

ALTHOUGH the Men's Interport Hockey Selection Committee have made a good start in weeding out 15 players from whom the Inter- port team to meet Macao on Saturday will be selected, the hardest part of their job has yet to come, and any mistake is likely to be a fatal one, in spite of the Portuguese team's defeat at the hands of the KIT.C. three weeks ago.

Oliveira, of the University, who come into the side in place of A. S. Bliss, of St. Andrew's, and N. Beltran, of the Recreio, both of whom left the Colony last Sunday night for Shanghai with the Colony's Interport soccer team. There are, however, two other for- ward positions, the inside-right and the outside-left, which have yet to be filled.
