TO-NIGHT'S LECTURE

LAST OF SERIES BY MAJOR CAMPBELL

At half past six this even- ing in St. Andrew's Church Hall, Major Campbell will give the last of his hockey lectures, and I, for one, hope there will be a better attendance than has been the case up to the, present. The factures have not received the support desir- ed or deserved, and referees, who have sent in their names for examination, will be es pecially well advised to attend this evening's lecture.

The rules and other points are to be fully explained and interesting demonstrations will be given.

ROLL IN OR HIT IN?

Old Hockey Problem

}

T

(By E. Haslam)

am rather surprised that the old controversy 热器 to whether hockey would be im- proved by the substitution of a hit-in for a roll-in should have been revived. As far back as

1914 the Midlands sponsored such an innovation, which was submitted to the International Board, and it cropped up for official consideration again in 1920.

The Midlands contended that the roll encouraged, bad hockey in the bunching by the five-yurds line (now seven yards) and the general bnd positioning. Later tliere enue some experimental matches in the South, and among the things tried were a hit-off instead of a billy-off, and u hit-in in place of a roll-in.

HAPHAZARD PLAYERS Nothing was officially done with' either, and in regard to the hit-in the vast majority of the players and sill- cinls were against it. Personally, I can see nothing wrong with the roll-

Whatever may be wrong is with the players, who mostly are as haphazard in this respect as they are with short corners, of which they take all too little advantage,

in as it stands,

It is up to hall-backs to apply more mental acumen to the taking of a rollin, from which there should be ample chance of opening out the game. Captains should nisu insist upon the proper disposition of the other players.

A primary objection to the hit-in is that it would confer too big an advan- tage on the one side and unduly penalise the other for hitting out of play, which does not constitute 11 breach of rule. This would specially upply near the 26-yards line and make the hit-in almost tantamount to a

corner.

LAY THE BOGEY

With ull due deference to my Mid- lands friends, I would suggest that the bogey of the hit-in he duly atd. would, I feel sure, be botter oc-

The in. supporting the abolition of

the hooking af sticks, which is no much ab med in the way of striking at sticks.

This latter evil, passed over too much by umpires, is the cause of appalling wreckage in the breaking of sticks. Very wisely, the women pro- hibit hooking at sticks, not unly as unskilled hockey, but in the renilau- tion of its bad consequences.

In their game comparatively few sticks are broken. Too often, in the men's game, manufacturers are blam e for broken sticks, but it is not their function to make them of cast iron.
