Shanghai Hockey Trials Disappointing

LADIES' LACK OF COHESION Searching For Interport XI

Shanghai, Jan. 7.

There is only one result to be expected if players who have never played together are picked to represent two sities; con- fusion and misunderstanding! And that was what happened yesterday when another group of women hockey stars, selected from various clubs, were given an opportunity of displaying their experience and prowess in hockey before a number of officials of the committee and a fair sized crowd at the race course, a second of a series of trials to be held before the final selection, says the Shanghai Times.

Though the game was faster than that of the previous day; the complete lack of cohesion of any description and the pernicious tendency of the players to cluster together so as to get into each other's way, were the chief factors that greatly assisted in making the game ragged and 10- Interesting.

It must be admitted that as

in- lividuals they all can play hockey, but tf Hongkong are to be beaten, they must learn to keep to their respective positions and give more attention to passing technique which they con- spicuously lack.

Greiner and L. Schmidt were domin- ant for the Blues.

After 16 minates of midfield plny, M. Sheridan slipped through the Blue defence and took a drive at goal. The ball struck the post and rebound- ed, and before the backs, could re cover, the same player followed up and flicked the ball into a wide open goul.
