Pilgrim's Hockey Notes

Serious Accidents May Arise Out Of "Sticks"

Players Expect Much Latitude From Umpires: Rigid Ruling

PLAYERS generally expect too much latitude from umpires for breaches of Rule 10. I have seen tooth knocked out and badly cut facos from smashed spectacles arising from "sticks."

NATURAL WEAKNESSES

This Rule was undoubtedly created in the long ago to prevent such accidents as these. If infringements are made and umpires are lenient, the game gets out of hand,

LEAGUE

Players say that they do not obtain Matches Played In

any advantage from "sticks." This:

is a curious tollacy.

To prove it; Take a free hit from the goal line and permit "sticks" for the hit, and then mark the distance

that the ball has travelled. Repeat this shot but observe the strict ruling and then nule the difference that the ball has travelled.

Is it fair to shoot at a goal-keeper with the force that can be obtained from "sticks"? And an umpire is right to whistle for these infringe- ments.

IF

He is there to see that the game is played according to the rules governing the rame. He has no authority-in fact he exoceds his powers to permit infringements to occur without penalty.

Play To The Rules

it is the opinion of the greater number of players that the rule needs revising, the remedy is ini their own hands, but I doubt if the International Hockey Board would modify the rule because of the al- ready existing donger arising from "sticks."
