Ou Men's Hockey
The team say:
Last season a strong OU team disappointed at tournament through lack of fitness and not having played together for six weeks. This must not happen again. Fortunately, all the A team are able to travel.
The players:
- Leon Williams (goal)—a sound, experienced player—possesses, a strong clearing kick.
- Graham Jackson (right full-back)—a shrewd player with a quick hit, but too often penalised for sticks.
- Brian Tuson (left full-back)—in 1948 team, and now plays a steady more restrained game. Emergency for Otago and Oamaru.
- Bill Sparrow (left half) would be better if obstructed less in tackling—otherwise sound.
- Ernie French (centre-half and captain)—Otago and ex-Nelson rep. Directs play well.
- Bert Porter (right half) helps wing well but should help his full-back more at times.
- Alan Gouldlng (left wing)—strong on attack, and centres well. Provincial rep.
- Guy M'Grcgor (inside left)—Otago and Poverty Bay rep. S. Island rep. Prolific scorer with a strong flick inside circle.
- Ross Moore (centre forward). Has shown up well in his first season as a senior. Could well speed up his shots in the circle.
- Graham West (inside right). More reliable this season. Otago emergency.
- Peter Lindsay (right wing). Speedy—exploits opportunities in attack.
- Tony Mmden (half). Speedy and keen.
- John Anderson (inside forward).
