Manawatu Hockey Elect To Meet Bush To-morrow

AN IMPORTANT REPRESENTATIVE MATCH Splendid hockey should bo witnessed at the Park road ground to-morrow afternoon when tho Manawatu (men) elect meet Bush, in the first representative game of the season. The contest will bo of particular interest to local enthusiasts as the team, which has been undergoing some solid training, is virtually the one that will endeavour to bring to Palmerston North tho New Zealand shield—premier hockey trophy of tho Dominion —now held by Auckland. Bush constitute a formidable opposition, narrowly losing to Wellington by an odd goal recently, while they were unlucky not to account for Wairarapa in another excellent game. The contest to-morrow will undoubtedly be fast and open. Manawatu is expected to be all out for a definite victory, as much depends on the result of this first match against a strong representative eleven. All enthusiasts who desire to witness a firstclass exhibition of the codo should make a point of seeing tho Manawatu team in action before they set out for Auckland early next month. REFEREES FOR WEDNESDAY Bush Union v. Manawatu, No. 2 ground, 3 p.m.; referees, Mr Parton (Manawatu and a Bush Union official.
