Women's Hockey
The splendid run of wins, which the Women's Hockey Club has succeeded in maintaining up to the present, came to an end last Saturday, when the Seniors had their first loss. Perhaps the team is becoming a little complacent at having won four matches in succession, because our opponents this week should have been no more of an obstacle than the others.
The new people are very enthusiastic. Mary Seddon is very good, but should hit more firmly The Seniors played very well, but lost against Old Girls 3—0. They have won four matches out of five this season.
The Juniors, with Maureen O'Connor as captain, played a good game against Tech. Old Girls, but lost 5—0. Janet in her new position played well, and Daisy as a back and Maribel Wilson as a forward played good games.
To any students who have not yet joined the club, mixed practices are held in the gym. on Thursday nights. It's good fun even if you don't play on Saturdays.
Men's Hockey
The Hockey Club which is at present fielding two teams has had up to now a moderately successful season. The Senior team has had four draws and one loss and one win, but the indications are that it will bo more successful in the near future.
Two freshers from Wellington College playing good hockey in the Senior team are Ivor Ting and Bill Osten, while a number of last year's Senior team are once again available.
Charlie Bollard has consented to turn out for his old club again and his coaching hints have had a beneficial effect upon the teams. The Third Grade team contains a number of promising players among whom are Tom Slinn, Arthur McIlraith and [unclear: Brian] Nash. The two O'Donnells are playing good hockey for this team and their experience is proving invaluable.
The team which is to journey north to play Auckland University College has now been selected and although the team is not as strong as could be wished owing to the fact that several members are unable to travel it is thought that it will provide strong opposition. The team is as follows:—George-Marwick, Evan Raine, Ivor Ting, Noel McKay, Ted Breach, Bruce Hands, Jack Barr, Bill Osten, Arch. Ives, Ken. Kiddle and Peter [unclear: Froome].
