LADIES’ HOCKEY
TO TUB EDITOR. Si r> in connection with the above frame’ I think it is time something was done to improve the standard of play in the 13 and C grade teams. From the way they play they will never make either rep. or senior grade players, because they are never coached, even in the simple rules of the game. The club coaches seem only to think of their senior teams, and the juniors can get along the best way they can. To watch some of these B and C grade players play is very disappointing. They make the same mistakes Saturday after Saturday because they are not coached up in the rules. The leading team in the competition A grade (Otago Club) could do well to appoint coaches for the B and C grade Otago teams of their club, especially the C grade. All this club seems to think about is the A grade cup. They have a good B grade team also. The C grade players are keen enough, but could not the Otago Club appoint, say, Miss A. Mackio (captain Otago rep. .senior team) and Miss' M. Blagdon (who I think was selected for the New Zealand team to tour South Africa a couple of seasons ago) to coach that team? Tho whole lot of tho junior teams, B and C grade, want to be coached, or in a season or two we will not have a decent senior team. This applies also to Dunedin Club, Technical Old Girls, Momona, and ’Varsity Clubs.—l am, etc., Fbee Hit. May 11.
