HOCKEY TEAM RETURNS
MANAGER’S COMMENTS MAORIS “QUITE CHARMING” (From Our Own Correspondent' (By Air Mail) LONDON, Sept. 26. ; The speechmaking expected of her ; in New Zealand and Australia was 1 almost as strenuous as playing and I umpiring, said Miss Joan Warwick, j manager and umpire of the English ; women’s hockey team which recently toured the two dominions. Besides umpiring every match, she | made over 50 speeches and gave 13 ( broadcast talks. { Miss Warwick slated that the hockey in New Zealand and Aus-1 tralia was not so finished as that in 1 England, but it was more vigorous. It was not played on such good grounds. One of the most deligntful experiences was the visit of Maori women, who were quite charming. Outside the main object of the tour Miss Warwick said the public people she met seemed most interested in her county council work, and one of her most instructive experiences was a visit to one of their j big mental homes, with a wonderful villa system. Women did not, however, seem to take so much part in public affairs. Indeed, hardly any seemed to have seats on the legisla-1 tive bodies.
