HOCKEY

GRAMMAR AND ST. LUKE'S KEEN GAME EXPECTED The eagerly-awaited match in the Auckland Hockcv Association's Davis Cup competition between Grammar Old Boys and St. Luke's will be played at Papatoetoe to-morrow afternoon. It is probable that the game will decide the winner of the competition. Grammar is in the lead for the trophy by one point from St. Luke's. Tf Grammar wins the same the competition will be closed, but if ,St. Luke's wins the final round will have to be played. In the previous round earlier in the season St. Luke's beat Grammar by a narrow margin, but, as Grammar could not field its regular team on that occasion, the true strength of the sides has not been determined. The Grammar forwards have impressed as the better attacking force of the two and this is likely to prove the deciding factor. The St. Luke's defence, however, is very sound, and the game should be keenly contested until the final whistle. Mount Eden will meet Papatoetoe on the No. 2 ground at the same time, University and Somervllle will play on No. 3 ground. The remaining game will bo between Y.M.C.A. and Training College on No. 4 ground,' also at 2.30 p.m. Following are the teams:— UNIVERSITY Senior Grade. —Henderson. Halliwell, ITogben, Watson, N.
