Hockey Notes.

As yet no successor to Dhyan Chand has been discovered, but recent form reveals that the hockey strength is not confined to the Senior A team. Tournament showed up two halves with possibilities in Grant and Eggleton, while P. Webb more than justified his inclusion. In the forwards Shaw might be considered the season's find. He is an opportunist with a quick eye, speed and, moreover, one who "shoots to kill" in the circle. Monteath and Stanley are forwards also deserving of mention. Our Plunket Medal orator has lost none of his pristine dash, whilst Clarke and Burrow, two other seasoned players, are still always reliable in the centre-half position.

In the lower grades we can anticipate a bright future for Instone, Pickering. Evans, Lancaster and Stafford.

Led by "Snowy" Williams, the Senior A team have not met with the continued success one might wish, but are yet expected to lower the colours of leading teams.

We would remind members that the advice tendered by Coach Jacobsen on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Gym. is invaluable, and "Smad" proposes to keep a note of some players who are resting upon their laurels and giving practices a miss.
