My advice to umpires officiating at ladies' hockey is to apply the rules as laid down and to particularly make sure that the hooking or knocking up of sticks does not occur, as it did on several occasions, on Saturday.

Turning on the ball and tackling on he wrong side were common-enough infringments, but were allowed pass unnoticed,

Ludicrous Cable

Reporting.

One of the most ludicrous errors in cable nows ever received here was in connection with the new: Ladies' 100 metres back-stroke swimming, record which was stated to be 60 1-16 seas. It was so obviously wrong that it hit one in the eye. The world's record for women over 100 mètres free-style stands to the credit of Miss Willy 'den Ouden, of Holland, who covered the distance in 64 6-10′′ secs. in 1986, while the 100 metros back-stroke mark was held by Miss Nida Senff, of Holland, In 78 8-10 seČE.
