INTERESTING HOCKEY

ONLY TWO SENIOR MATCHES FAST AND EXCITING PLAY Only two senior-grade hockey matches were played on Saturday afternoon. North Shore defeated St. Luke’s and Mount Eden beat Epiphany, but Otahuhu, which was set down to play Somerville, failed to appear on the ground, so that Somerville won by default. On the whole play was fast and interesting. Several players promise well for the coming season and by the time a few more matches have been played the standard of play should be very high. Particularly attractive in both the games was the combination displayed and the skill shown in handling the ball. Last season, though there were many brilliant individuals, it was only occasionally that a brilliant team appeared. This year, it is to be hoped, this difficulty will be overcome. It is reported that owing to the club’s inability to field a full team, the committee of the Otahuhu Hockey Club has decided to withdraw from the senior competition.. Some of the members of last year’s senior team, which won the senior B grade competition, have retired from the game, and some have joined other clubs. The Otahuhu fourth grade team has been considerably strengthened by the inclusion of some of the members of the defunct team. NORTH SHORE V. ST. LUKE’S The match between St. Luke’s and North Shore was thoroughly exciting from start to finish. In the first quarter St. Luke’s attacked vigorously and only some splendid passing by the Shore backs save dthe goal. Shore were defending well and at last got the ball sufficiently far up the field for the forwards to take charge. They gave a good exhibition of charging tactics and took the ball right through the St. Luke’s defence, scoring neatly. From the bully the Shore attack continued, but 8: bad piece of fumbling in the St. Luke’s circle by the forwards lost them their advantage and St. Luke’s got away again, though without scoring. All this time Reid on the Shore wing had been playing cleverly and just before half-time he took the ball from the Shore circle right up the wing to the outside of the St. Luke’s circle. There he centred perfectly, so that Rvkers was able to score without any difficulty. Reid played easily the best game of the match. His passing and dribbling were very good, although at times his stick work was a little uncertain. When the season has advanced by a few more games he should rank among the best players on the ground. In the second half, when the score was two to nil in Shore’s favour, St. Luke's made a great effort. The game had been fast in the first half, but in the second it opened out so much that the ball was flying from end to end of the ground continually. St. Luke’s, chiefly headed by Giles, kept up a sparkling attack and scored three times in quick succession. Actually the ball went into the net five times, but the players were so keen that they were off-side and Shore benefited by two free hits. However, Reid scored twice during the second half, thus bringing the score to four to three in Shore’s favour. During the last quarter St. Luke’s struggled gamely to remove this lead, but the side had exhausted itself earlier and lacked sufficient energy to force the ball into the net. The game ended in North Shore's favour. EDEN’S DECISIVE VICTORY Superior combination gave Mount Eden a decisive win in its match with Epiphany on Saturday afternoon. Although th© Lpiphany team played a good fighting game, the leather, for the greater part of the time, was kept outside Eden territory. On Saturday’s play Eden’s greatest strength was in its defence. At no period of the game could Epiphany hold an advantage in the Eden twentyfive, and that team’s only goal was secured as a result of a quick, tricky move on the part of the forward line before their opponents had time to rally in defence. Chaplin was playing a better game than last week but, even so, time after time, he lost an opening by more or less blind hitting, when a little more head work would have secured another goal for his side. He was prominent in several very creditable forward moves up the field. T. Kelly wielded a very creditable stick in the Eden defence. Hughes countered a number of dangerous movements in the early stages of the match.

PEARCE WINS EASILY

SCULLING IN AUSTRALIA (United P.A—By Telegraph — Copyright) PERTH. Sunday. The inter-State rowing contest for the King s Cup. over a course of three miles on the Swan River, Perth was won yesterday by the New South W ales crew from Mosman by half a length. Western Australia was second, v ictoria third and South Australia fourth. Tt was a gruelling struggle. In the Australian sculling championship Bob Pearce. New South Wales, beat K. Langley, Western Australia, by five lengths.

but went to pieces toward the end, bantam tactics of scouting round the edges of the ruck rendering him practically useless. Epiphany’s most prominent player on the day was Baxter, in goal. He was kept on -his mettle throughout the greater part of the game. At one time he successfully countered three successive shots at the net before the attack could be broken. J. Mills was one of the hardest and most reliable workers in the offensive. Hewitt played a steady game in the front line. Bad combination and lack of control over the ball were Epiphany’s main weaknesses.
