WOMEN SHOW POOR COMBINATION

Royal Engineers Should Go Long Way In The Association Tournament -

IN THEIR Caer Clark Cup fixtures played at King's Park last Saturday, the "Y" Ladies, champions of the League, defeated the Central British Association by 4-0.

Unfortunately, the bumpy state of the ground made ball control very difficult, and this probably accounted for the poor display of the winners.'

Miss B. Harker scored twa, Miss H. Bockler one and Miss D. McCaw one, and although they made several big efforts, the forwards finished badly, and shooting general- ly was wide of the target.

Mrs. L. Starbuck, centre half, tackled keenly and closely, and gave little quarter to the C.B.A. forwards, Miss M. McCaw, on her right, was also a hard worker. Mrs. Stone showed up well at right back, but Mrs. Strange, at times, was very un- reliable.

Had the home team un experienced goal-keeper, the champions would have been lucky in securing a point.

Discussion Of Hockey Rules: Pointers For Tournament Umpires

RULE 10 (D) penalises the player who inten- tionally stops the ball with his foot; Rule 10 (e) penalises the player who unintentionally kicks the ball. Why the difference, please?

What is the decision if a back, who is hard pressed, flicks the ball on to the oncoming forwards? And does it alter this decision if he accidentally or purposely flicks the ball on to them? He makes them kick the ball, and so it is unfair to penalise them.

These queries raised by cer- tain players regarding an in- tentional or unintentional in- fringement, and why there should be a distinction can be simply answered.

The main feature of te game was the sterling display by the Middlesex pack, especially the back row for wards, who were always on top of tho ball and gave the Club halves very fow opportunities. Middlesex were without the services of Hewitt and Berry, to regular members of the Army pack.

Club packed three hookers in Salter, Castleton and Burford, but only Salter played in that position. The ball was slow in coming back, and this appeared to be due more to the fact that the Club's "8" were be- Ing pushed back on their heels, rather than its passage being obstructed by the second row forwards.
