UNIVERSITY TOURNAMENT CANTERBURY TEAMS BEATEN AT DUNEDIN (rBESS ASSOCIATION TELEORAU.) DUNEDIN, July 4. The New Zealand University hockey tournament began this afternoon on a wet, muddy ground and in _ wet weather. Results:— Men —Auckland 5, Otago B 0; Otago A 4, Canterbury 0; Victoria 8, Massey 3. Women—Otago 8, Canterbury 3: Auckland 6, Victoria 1. The match between Otago University A and Canterbury University College was fast and willing, and Otago did not have matters as much its own way as the score would indicate. Moore played a good game for Otago, kicking clear time and again when Canterbury came into the circle. B. Ryeburn and Alldred were outstanding in Otago’s forward line, Ryeburn scoring three goals and Alldred one. Canterbury did not have a particularly strong team, though the forwards were fast. Buchanan, right half, and Walter, centre half, were the best players of the side, though Louisson and Denham were also well to the fore. Some good hockey was seen in both women’s games, though most interest centred 'in that between Canterbury and Otago, which was won by Otago by eight goals to three. The forward line displayed excellent combination, Misses N. Stewart N. Cannon being the outstanding players. Misses Alison Marshall and B. Andrews were very solid in the full-back positions. Miss' E. Marshall scored two goals. Miss N. Stewart three. Miss N. Cannon two, and Miss Ada Marshall one. Miss C. Aldridge scored two of Canterbury’s goals, and Miss Z. Aldridge the third.

NEW ZEALAND ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE MEETS The management committee of the New Zealand Hockey Association last evening decided to accept the invitation of the New Zealand Travel Club to entertain the Prince of Manavadar’s hockey team on the Monday succeeding the test match against New Zealand. F S Clark was appointed captain of the New Zealand team to meet the visiting team for the first test. Mr W. Newsham was appointed manager and coach for the first and second tests, and Mr E. G. McLeod coach and manager for the third test. The following umpires were appointed for forthcoming games against the touring hockey team: — ■ v. Ashburton. Mr C. S.

Sew Hoy. , TT . v Otago, at Dunedin. Mr T. H. Mulholland and Professor Jagan Nath. v. North Otago, Mr B. Pinder and Professor Jagan Nath. An urgent appeal from the Goldfields Association (Australia) for the Manavadar hockey team to play a match for charity at Kalgoorlie was refused because of the difficulty of rearranging the Australian portion of tnc tour. The present tour docs not include a match at Kalgoorlie. The Rotorua Hockey Association wrote asking for a match against the Prince’s team, and the matter was held over till later in the itinerary. July 16 was the date set down for the Auckland v. Poverty Bay shield match at Auckland. , - On the application of the Wanganui Technical College, it was decided to approve of the holding of a secondary schools’ hockey tournament at Wanganui from August 23. The secondary schools’ tournament is held for the Allan Ranking Memorial Cup, which was supplied by the old boys of the Addington Hockey Club in memory of one of the members of the club.

In reply to the Auckland Hockey Association’s request for permission to hold a hockey tournament in 1940 in connexion with the centenary celebrations it was decided to ask for further information on the proposal.
