SECOND HOCKEY INTERPORT TRIAL HELD

PROVIDED LITTLE OF INTEREST TO CROWD

(By "The Pilgrim")

The second Hockey Interport trial, held on the Club ground at King's Park yesterday morning, proved of little interest to the spectators. Little new was learned by the Selectors.

The first half, which ended in a 1-1 draw, provided some good play, but the second period, after changes had been made, was

scrappy affair which in

bad shooting by the Colours' attack was the main fea- ture. This half also ended In a 1-11 draw.

The Colours took the lead in the first half through Fonseca, who had no hesitation in mapping up a per- tal clearance by King to "nick" the ball pust Gonsnives for a neat goal, After a ding-dong struggle, in which both defences excelled, G. Singh, at inside left, evened up matters for the Whites with good goal.

G. Singh and Pyara Singh, in the Whites' left flank, provided the dan- ger in the attack, but Kennedy, at centre-forward, and Peltom Nath, at inside right, could not work up o combination. The latter, though dis- playing clever stickwork, more often than not sent the ball too far out for Smith on the right wing..

BEST DEFENDERS

Gonsalves, nt right back, and W.) A. Reed, nt centre-half, for they Whites, were easily the best defen- ders.

For the Colours, the intermediate line of Hussan, Hook and N. Whitley gavo a fine display, with Hook at centre-hall stealing the honours. Bond, at right back, was fast in his tackling, but Sommer, his partner, failed to impress.

Bartlett, Kraus ond Fonseca, the inside trio, placed individualism be-; tore combination and their standard of play was never, very high as a result. The first-iximed had a glori- ous opportunity of scoring when hel broke through In a solo effort, but he finished up poorly. Miller was a dashing left winger who displayed; poor stick-work and little was seca of S. Fowler, who was practically starved on the right wing.

Graham Sharp Wins World Title

When two junior cricket teams, in the space of three and a half hour of actual play, manage to score 404 runs, one is inclined, instinctively to rata the bowling as tripe, but possibly in most cases this would be an accurato estimate.
