THE DROP-KICK.

The stroke of the day in the MaristBerhampore match was undoubtedly Walters's potted goal. This bore out absolutely all that " Drop-kick " has recommended in the past and quite recently in regard to the drop at goal. It was an ideal example of the dropkick. The ball was passed infield by the" B'erhampore backs .faster than the Marist defenders could cover the ground to tackle, and. Walters had a beautiful opening straight in front of goal, of which he took full advantage. Walters is one of the few players in Wellington who have specialised in the' pot, and Berhampore's win on Saturday last can fairly be placed to his credit. The amended rule, with its effect of scattering players all over the field and breaking up definite mass tactics, will undoubtedly give more and more opportunities for the decisive drop at' goal. Teams ought to watch points like these, for in them lies the difference between victory and defeat.
