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 timo. Even moderato 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 bail 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-1 standing as between backs, half- backs and forward promotes the real team work.
