THRILLING and very fast hockey game was witnessed on the

AY.M.C.A. ground at King's Park Yesterday when the "y" first

eleven beat the India International eleven by 3 goals to 2 after fluctuating fortunes.

Outstanding feature of the encounter was a brilliant display by

India's forwards hit the ball mucl. too hard in their passing movements and gave the "Y" defenders a chance to intercept. "Sticks" were frequent and many a chance in or near the cir- cle was spoiled by this infringment.

TRIFLE SELFISH

Nerain Singh, at inside-left, was the pick of the forwards, while Lt. Pritam Nath was not given much of the ball. Pyara Singh looked danger- ous on occasions, but invariably hung onto the ball a trifle too long.

FIRST BLOOD

India opened the scoring yesterday in. the third minute of the game when Nerain Singh brilliantly dribbled through to net with a grounder, but Dawson equalised soon after when he netted with a perfect fick from the left, catching the Indian keeper on the wrong foot.

India maintained their pressure, how- ever, and but for frequent "sticks" would have taken the lead.

Benwell was playing well-in goal at this stage and brought off some mira- the culous saves. Ackrill came into picture midway through, when he drop- ped-back to save a certain goal when Benwell was drawn out of his charge. Dawson, with another flick shot, placed the in the leng--after 20 minutes play, the "X" leading at the interval by the odd goal in three.

Right Arm

The inclination to swing around at the ball instead of sweeping the clubhead down upon it seems more or less natural. Most of the golfers who start out learning the game, swing in just this fashion and At- many of them never change. tacking-this-method at-the source. would seem to be a proper method of substituting the hitting-under method in place of hitting-around. The right arm is possibly a major factor in most cases. Allowed to flap around without restraint, it is lifted too high and the down- swing comes down outside the ball' describing an outside-in arc. How- ever if the right elbow is kept comfortably close to the right side the downswing is more of an up- the This allows right stroke. shoulders to be kept parallel to the line of flight at the moment of impact and provides a surer bit.

A lot of time was given to matter of Quist's foot-faulting, and how it can be overcome. It is a worthwhile problem, and if not solved, may lead to disappointment again.

J. Clemenger was not available as manager of the Davis Cup team. He could not spare the time from business, and, therefore, did not offer himself.

the body is thus utilized in striking the ball straight in the back. Keep- ing the right elbow close is a factor that the player must be constantly aware of or the arm will be inclin- ed to lift itself too high. This is because the right side, being, the most powerful side as a rule, un- consciously wants to direct and control the stroke in its entirety. Tommy Armour above keeps his right arm closer to his right side than many others, because his left arm is considerably weaker due to war injuries and, to properly guide the stroke, the right arm's force must be curtailed during the great- er part of the stroke.
