A Contentious Rule In Hockey: Stopping Ball With The Hand

(By JH.F.)

"THE BALL SHALL NOT BE STOPPED ON THE GROUND OR IN THE AIR INTENTIONALLY BY ANY PART OF THE BODY, EXCEPT THE HAND."

The interpretation of this rule in hockey has been very deult indeed Umpires held very divergent views and players were uncer- tain as to what they should do and what they should not to avoid being pulled up for infringement of this rule.

An important ruling concerned the case of a defender who, while standing on bis own, goal line and between the goalposts-a position and when. commonly taken up by backs when defending a corner covering the goal-keeper-stops the ball with a part of his body other than his hand.

1.

A penalty bully must always be in given in these circumstances since a player only stations himself be- tween the posts with the intention ni preventing a goal. The breaca was, therefore, intentional. Excep tion should be made in the case of the goal-keeper, for the new rule was never intended to deprive him of the right to stop a ball with his body

DAVIS CUP

It Should Be Australia's Year.

SYDNEY, Dec. 10 "With Donald Budge a professional 1939, should be Australia's win- ning year." declared Harry Hopman captain-manager of the 1938 Australian Davis Cup team. In an interview.

In John Bromwich the 19-year- old Sydney ambidextrous player, Hopman sees the next lawn tennis champion of the world, with Bobby Riggs. the young American who is likely to be ranked number one in the United States in the absence or Budge, as his most dangerous rival.

Three ladies' matches constituted the whole of the League programme during the New Year holidays. These games, played last Mon- day morning, reflected the holiday feeling and loose field- ing was the order of the day. The redeeming feature of the day's mediocre entertainment was the grand display of the Cubs in Green, the Eagle's scrum half, holding the hard-hitting Wildcats gave a fine display.
