SECOND HOCKEY INTERPORT TRIAL HELD

PROVIDED LITTLE OF INTEREST TO CROWD

(By "The Pilgrim")

The accond 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 find been made, was a scrappy affair; in which bad shootlu by the Colours attack was the main fea- ture, This half also ended in a 1-1. drow.

The Colours took the load in the first half through Fonseca, who had; no hesitation in mopping up a par- tial clearance by King to flick the ball past Gonsalves 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 a good goal.

The latter, though dis- playing clever stickwork, more often than not sent the ball too far out for Smith on the right wing.
