"Pilgrim's" Hockey Notes

TEAM-WORK, MARKING & TACKLING Phases Of Game That AT CLUB GROUND, KING'S PARK

Should Be Learned

SOUNDNESS IN DEFENCE

SOUND TEAM WORK will dofoat clover Individualism every time. Even moderate players, if they know the secret of teamwork, may improve their personal play appreciably provided that they rocollect that hockey is a game with a small ball which is so easily intercepted 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- standing as between backs, half- backs and forward promotes the real team work.

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

SINCE "UMPIRE"

"Umpire" seems annoyed at the Theta published, and states that the Umpires Association holds no respon- aibliity for the arrangement and ancelation of fixtures, etc. No one ceuses the Association for such, but the umpires who were informed of de cameration of a certain match hould have intorined the Secretary. f the Umpires Association, and he could have informed the Press. That is where my reference *peration comes in.

If some of the impires are not guilty of gross negligence, I should be pleased if he would clarify the following incidents hich took place and do take place very week-end-since he seems to ue defending the Association on his December 1-Two umpires falled a certain game. No appear at
