Hockey Notes.

After its success in the Inter-University Tournament, the Senior Team was expected to brighten up in the Grade Competitions and win a few games. Hopes have not been realised, however, although the team has participated in two drawn games since the Tournament. The Senior B (A) Team still retains its position at the top of the ladder for that Grade, although the second team is dangerously close. Some good fast open hockey resulted when the Senior B (A) Team met the Senior B (B) Team in the second round of the Competitions. Both teams played their best hockey, and both were out to win from the bully-off. Near the end of what promised to be a drawn game, the A's came to light with two goals, finally winning by 4 goals to 2.

A social fuction of importance took place on the 9th July at Barrett's Hotel, when "Charlie" Bollard was the guest of honour at a congratulatory dinner. After the guest had been duly toasted and the Chairman, George Simpson, had emptied several bottles and told a few interesting (?) stories, the function was brought to a cheerful conclusion by the singing of popular songs. "Charlie" Bollard left for Australia page 10 with the New Zealand team on 15th July, and it is pleasant to see that he has since been mentioned in the dispatches for conspicuous play.

Congratulations are extended to L. S. Free and F. H. Stewart, who have been Selected for a Wellington team which tours the northern provinces on 8th August.
