CANTERBURY ASSOCIATION - MEETING OF COMMITTEE. SPECIAL TO THE “TIMES.” CHRISTCHURCH, July 12. At a meeting of the' committee of the Canterbury Hockey Association to-night the report of the manager (Ur G. . \V r . ir'ord) ol tho representative team that visited Wellington, was received, and it was resolved to place, on tho minutes the committee’s appreciation of the manner in which the team had conducted itself on and off the field. - , In Ms report the manager said there was some doubt as to whether the correct time had been played in tho second spell. An official timekeeper had been appointed, and it was probable that he omitted to deduct several minutes for minor accidents. He (Mr Ford) was probably to blame for not checking the time, especially as the result of the game practically hinged o i the question of whether time was up. A penalty corner was awarded against Canterbury, and, as the men were lined up for the corner, the timekeeper walked on to the ground. From liis action it would appear* that time was up before tho corner was completed, and from the cor- . uer Wellington drew level with tho Canterbury team. He would urge the associar ticn to submit two suggestions to the New Zealand Hockey Association: (1) That in all shield matches a gong or bell be sounded at the beginning and end of each spell* (2) that all shield matches commence not later than 230 p.m. , ’ „ , It was resolved to urge tho New Zealand Hockcv Association to alter the shield rules to provide for these matters, and also to provide a timekeeper.
