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 a serappy affair in which bad shooting by the Colours' attack was the main fea- ture. This half also ended in a 1-1 draw.

The Colours look the lead in the first half through Fonseca, who had no hesitation in snapping up a par- tial clearance by King to flick the balt past Gonsalves for a neat goal. After a ding-dong struggle, in which Both defences excelled, G. Singh, at inside. Jeft, evened up matters for the Whites with a good goal.

G. Singh and Pyara Singh, in the Whiles' left flank, provided the dan- ter in the attack, but Kennedy, at centre-forward, and Pritam Nath, at inside right, could not work up af combination. The latter, though ills- playing elever stickwork, more often! than not sent the ball too far out for Smith on the right wing.

BEST DEFENDERS

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

For the Colours, the intermediate line of Hussan, Hook and N. Whitley gave a fine display, with Hook at centre-half stealing the honours. Bond, nt right back, was fast in his tackling, but Somtner, his partner, fulled to impress.

Bartlett, Kraus and Fonseca, the, inside trio, placed individualism be- fore combination and their standard

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 rate the bowling as tripe, but possibly in most cases this would be an accurate estimate. Yet, in the Army "B" v.
