HOCKEY ALL BLACKS.
Fifth Victory by Margin of a Dozen Goals. WARWICK OVERWHELMED. BRISBANE, July 23. Taking complete control of the game in the first few minutes, the New Zealand hockey tourists overwhelmed a Warwick eleven this afternoon. Running up goals with monotonous regularity, they eventually won by 13 goals to 1. The New Zealand team was:—C. M. Moore, T. A. Ewan, T. G. Parker, H. F. Bollard, P. J. Joblin, R. L. Munro (captain), P. H. Anthony, M. J. Bay, M. R. Best, B. Rogers, D. J. Reid. Although the match was one-sided, it featured a brilliant exhibition game on the part of the visitors, whose tour of Queensland thus far has been characterised by easy victories. Their combination was wonderful, especially the forward 3, who completely nonplussed the local players by the speed of their attack and their tactics, particularly the moves of Anthony, Bay and Rogers, which invariably ended in goals. The backs also combined with uncanny accuracy, outstanding players being Parker, who played hockey of a type seldom seen in Queensland. H. F. Bollard and R. Munro were also conspicuous. The visitors scored within five minutes of the opening, and, with the exception of two occasions, were on the attack the greater part of the first half, during which seven goals were netted. In the second half, the New Zealanders again took control of affairs and early added an additional three goals in quick succession. Then Warwick for the first time seemed to have the upper hand, but the advantage was short-lived. The visitors dominated play ia the remainder of the game, and won by 13 goals to 1. The scorers for New Zealand were: Anthony (6), Rogers (5), Bay and Best. In winning all five games on tour, the New Zealanders have scored 34 goals to 2.
