TWO GREATEST EVILS OF

EVILS OF HOCKEY IN

HOCKEY IN COLONY:

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 games. Lato starts, depleted teams and players. of the same side wearing jerseys of various hues are a few of the complaints I have heard recently.

Severn umpires and Army re- presentatives liave complained, but I am afraid they are just voices crying in the wilderness; club secretaries do nothing.

Midweek games are scheduled to but most commence at 5.15 p...

teams fail to put in an appearance until 5.25 or 5.30, and as it geta dark very early powadays only 20 or 25 minutes playing time is avall- able.

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

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

ground. Some of prepared

the

rounds used in important matches were in a terrible state, and it seems 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 reflection, proved to be mero domestic club affairs. But nevertheless there are several matters which require the attention of those in office.

club. When the slackness of one or two members lets a team dowr, the obvious cure is to drop the offenders. This is an effective disciplinary measure, which has been tried out with success by several clubs.

However, when il club Inakes no 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- Ing.

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

All clits should co-operate by (1) turning up for matches in tinė; (2) wear the same colours in one maich and (3) if you have o ground, sen 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 10, and revised clauses of Rule dealing particularly with the posi- tion of the goal-keeper, whose pri- vileges remain unchanged.

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

RULE 10

to stop the ball (Para. d);

(2) if the ball be caught, it shall be released into play immediately (Pars. d);

(3) the ball shall not be propelled in any direction except with the stick (Para, 0);

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