Draw With Army,. But Rather Lucky

(By "The Pilgrim")

TO

In a fast game where plenty good hockey was seen the H.K." Club drew 2-2 yesterday with the Army on the home ground at King's Park after being led by a goal at the in- terval.

The Army were unlucky not to win. They had the measure of the Civilians for fully 45 minutes of the

game.

Commencing with a man short the Army were on the defensive for the first five minutes. Gopal Ram filled hts usual place at inside-left with Narain Ram falling back to left-half in place of Tara Singh who was absent. With a full team the military attack got going but the Club inter- mediates with W. A. Read as pivot were early defending stoutly. After 15 minutes' play Fowler received a pass in the circle but the winger

Two recent games are still fresh in my mind. The umpires appointed were members of their respectivo clubs and as soon as one team had scored it seemed impossible for the Pritam Nath, the brilliant leader of opponents to equalise. This some- the Army attack,

times happens because the umpires involved wants to see his own win, often at any cost.

The game consequently suffers-play becomes rough and uninteresting with un- pleasant remarks thrown about be- tween the umpires and players. In this particular case no player was sent off the field but the match ended in a very unsatisfactory manner.
