TEAM-WORK, MARKING & TACKLING

Phases Of Game That AT CLUB GROUND, KING'S PARK

Should Be Learned

SOUNDNESS IN DEFENCE

SOUND TEAM WORK will defeat clever individualism every time. Even moderate players, if they know the secret of teamwork, may improve. their personal play appreciably provided that they recollect that hockey is a game with a small ball which is so easily intercopted by an opposing half or full-back.

With this point in mind, if the ball is passed and re- passed rapidly and all the halves follow up closely, and if a forward has lost the ball in a tackle, and his own half is up in an attempt to retrieve it, it enables him to go through or to put another forward through instantly without any slackening of speed.

Proper sympathy and under-1 standing as between backs, half- bucks and forward promotes the real team work.

The selence of marking is better understood in practice by modern players than by those of the older generation. Defences

have vastly improved and are

stronger and more effective in marking. It is one of the fun- damental elements of the game to nark your opponent closely. The player has to watch where the ball Is and

what his opponent proposes to do. He must be in readiness to foll any

to get the pass to attempt one of the other side.
