THE TWO GREATEST EVILS OF HOCKEY

INDIFFERENCE, SLACKNESS BY CIVILIAN CLUBS

PROBLEMS CONFRONTING LOCAL ASSOCIATION

(By "The Pilgrim")

Slackness and indifference-two of the greatest evils in local hockey-are most evident in the mid-week gamer. Late starts, depleted teams and players of the same side wearing jerseys of various hues are a few of the complaints I have heard recently.

Several umpires and Army re presentatives have complained, but I am afraid they are just volees crying in the wilderness; club secretaries do nothing.

Midweek games are scheduled to commence at 5.15 p.m., but most teams fail to put in un appearance until 5.23 or 6.30, and as it gets dark very early nowadays only 20 or 25 minutes playing time is avail- ablo.

Frankly, I think it la time some- thing was done about it.

the

Apart from Inte starts and lack of uniformity in club colours, there is alb the vexed question of badly-

grounds. Some of prepared grounds used in important matches were in a terrible state, and it seeing hardly fair to ask teams to play off tournament matches on them.

REQUIRE ATTENTION Very often, of course, one wonders whether too much was not being made of points which, on réllection, proved to be mere domestic club affairs. But nevertheless, there are several matters which require attention of those in office.

the

season

a

This

certain military team had to wall half an hour for n elvillan side to turn up. Now this is all wrong.

It is chiefly a matter of club dia- elpline. The remedy lies with the officials of each club. When the slackness of one or two members lets a team down, the obvious cure Is to drop the offenders. This is on effective disciplinary measure, which has been tried out with success by several clubs.

However,

when * club makes

uo efforts to exact punctuality from its players,. It deserves to have its fixtures cancelled the next season. Common courtesy demands that the other side should not be kept wait- iny.

These are some of the matters the Hongkong Hockey Association hope to look into this season. A persis- fent campaign will bring the de- sired results.

All clubs should.

co-operate by

(1) turning up for matches in time; (2) wear the same colours in one match and (3) if you have a ground, see that it is in a fit condition for matches to be played.

OFFICIAL RULING ON CLAUSE 10: POINTS FULLY EXPLAINED

The following is written to dispel any doubt which may exist in the minds of umpires and players on the revised clauses of Rule 10, and dealing particularly with the post- tion of the goal-keeper, whose pri- vlieges remala unchanged.

The reference to the catching of the ball in the air by a player and dropping it to the ground is also fully explained.

RULE 10

Paras. (d), (e) and (f) now pro- vide that:

(1) no part of the body excont the hand shall be used intentionally to stop the ball (Para. d);

(2) if the ball be caught, it shall be released Into play immediately (Para, d);

(3) the ball shall not be propelled

except with

in any direction stick (Para, 0);

the

(4) there shall be no interference with the stick of an opponent (Para. 1).

the

If the ball is stopped by any part of the body, the umpire has first to decide whether the stopping was intentional or nal. If the umpire decides that it was, a breach of Para. (d) has occurred. If it was not

(e.&

if the ball is hit al, or into, player by an opponent), player should not be penalized un- less he has infringed Para. (e) and propelled the ball. In this case, if the player hit was stationary, there is no breach of Parns, (d) or (c).

The intention is that the ball shall be played entirely with the stick

that it may

be stopped or

ht by the hand. The alterations do not affect the goal-keeper, and although Para. (h) does not specifically permit a goal- keeper to stop the ball with his body, he should not be penalised if the ball rebounds off his body unless he has infringed Para, (e).

These alterations will materially affect any player, other than the goal-keeper, who remains in front
