LETTERS TO THE

EDITOR

International Hockey

Tournament

Sir, I understand that the Hong- kong Hockey Association is not hold- ing the annual International Tourna- ment this season, for some reasons unknown.

To-night's match promises to be the best of the series as they will be playing in their element, namely, under boys' rules.

There is a vast difference between girts and boys' rules. In the girls' rules the team comprises six players. The guards are not permitted beyond the half-way line, and guarding is limited only to blocking. Each quar- ter is of eight minutes duration.

Under boys' rules, the team com- prises ve players. The guards are nt liberty to move all round the court, and are allowed to snatch the ball from a player's grosp. Each quarter is of ten minutes duration.
