Massey College men's and women's hockey teams came down on Thursday last (July 1) for a brief visit. The annual match was played at Karori Park at 1.30 and a large number of spectators watched a fast and even game between Victoria and Massey's women's teams. The score at half time was 2-1 in Victoria's favour.

Bice Young, playing her usual impressive game, scored Victoria's goals and Jo Francis, playing left wing for the first time was one of Massey's most dangerous opponents and made many openings for the Victoria forwards. Margot Spiers played an outstanding deferisive game.

Massey's goals were scored by the centre torward, Jo. Bingley. Mary Paterson, left full-back, and Barbara Milk, the goalie, both played an excellent game and saved the situation for Massey many times.

Soon after the commencement of the second half. Victoria broke through to score making it 3-1 in their favour. This was answered by a hard fought goal by Massey and many exciting moments. The whistle sounded and the game resulted in a win for Victoria, 3-2.

After the match both teams were entertained at dinner at the R.S.A. rooms and later at the third annual Hockey Ball at the Roseland Cabaret. Both functions were a social (if not financial I success.

A team of interest to the club at the moment is the one fielded in the junior grade. The club was lucky enough to persuade, bribe and otherwise inveigle Pat Ralph, an ex-hockey fiend, to coach this team. Pat went out one Saturday, threw up her hands in horror and has now great plans for getting some combination in this team.

So all juniors, in particular, are requested to come to the practice held on Kelburn Park, Tuesdays. 12.30-2.30 in fine weather only.

All teams are reminded that, besides this practice, there are practices every second Thursday at the Sports Centre, and when they are not held in town there is a practice in the Gym from 6-8 p.m. Notices are posted on the board for those members who get confused over dates. Please be present at one of these practices.
