HOCKEY GOES ON

FOR NEW ZEALAND

COUNTRY WEEK TOURNEY PROGRESS WHITE HORSE CUP Interest increases day by day now tho country week hockey tournament progresses, and yesterday afternoon several hard-fought games were witnessed in both the men's and women’s divisions. The standard of i l ockev displayed, despite the muddy | Grounds, showed a distinct improve- j ment on that of earlier days. Following aro the results of the White Horse Cup games played yes- j terday afternoon: "Waipa 2, Whakatane 1. Piako 5, "Whangarei 1. Rodney 2, Thames-Hauraki 2. Franklin 2. Maniapoto U. WAIPA AGAIN Whakatane provided unexpected opposition in the winning way of the undefeated Waipa team, and undoubtedly had the best of the opening -aiges. Despite rain, the No. 1 area was in good Older and at times hockey 0 f a passably high standard was witnessed. The Waipa men appeared to be resting on their oars at the top of the White Horse ladder, but a severe jolt brought them back to business again in time to stave off defeat. Whakatane was first to open its account when Ellison, who was giving a brilliant forward exhibition, found the net. Many exhortations by captain and barrackers roused the Waipa men to battle and by half-time G. Finch had equalised the scores. I he game continued at a breakneck pace, with both teams overrunning the mark continually on the greasy grounds. The spiers brothers infused plenty of dash into the Waipa attack and Jack in goal , v;l s frequently culled upon to ward off assaults on his citadel. With the score level play in the second half was exciting. Enthusiasm knew no bounds when Civil landed the winning goal. Waipa 2 (G. Finch, Civil), Whakatane I (Ellison). Referee: Mr. R. Avery. PIAKO EASILY A remarkably even game to start with, the Whangarei-Piako match saw the tide turn decisively in the second spell, for Piako to run out victors by five goals to one. Whangarei took the initiative and Sloan goaled for tho Northerners from a rebound off the goal-post as a result of a shot by Hamlin. Spurred on by this reverse Piako attacked strongly, but it was some time before their efforts were rewarded by an equalising goal. Whangarei’s defence was shattered in the closing stages, leaving piako to take its total to five. Thus the whistle sounded: Piako 5 (Moore 2, Harvey 2 and Cricket), Whangarei 1 (Sloan). Referee: Mr. L. C. Kent. THAMES-HAURAKI DRAWS Thames-Hauraki’s tido of defeats turned yesterday afternoon when the combined men played out a two-al! draw with Rodney. The yellow and blacks worried about no reputations and went at it from the opening whistle. They were soon one goal up on Rodney, Candy, a dashing forward, being the responsible agent. The whole front line rose to it like Trojans and continually harassed the opposing defence. Rodney retaliated again and again, but the interval was close before T. Gummer got a chance to equalise the score. The combined men Mere providing unexpected opposition for Rodney, and another hard-fought battle resulted when the second stanza opened. Roth teams added another goal to their totals before the whistle sounded: Rodney 2 (T. Grummer 2), ThamesHauraki 2 (Candy, Menzies). Referee: Mr. B. Cooper. FRANKLIN GETS THERE Maniapoto was no match for Franklin in the White Horse Cup game yesterday afternoon, but for all that succeeded in keeping the score of the dangerous team against them down to two. Franklin took charge completely during the first half, penetrating the green and black defence almost at will. Thus at half-time Franklin had a 2-0 lead. The status quo of the first half was maintained in the second, after many might have beens went sailing past the goal-jnouth or were obstructed in some way. McNamara and Doull played their usual solid games for Franklin, whose two goals were registered by G. Tanner and Brown. Referee: Mr. K. K. Mullins. GOOD WOMEN'S GAMES COLLEGIATE-RANGITAIKI DRAW Undoubtedly the game of the afternoon was that between Auckland Collegiate and Rangitaiki, the Maori girls’ team. The two teams headed the section, both having played three games und neither having suffered defeat. After a splendid tussle they were still on equal terms, the result being one goal each. The game was remarkably fast, and both teams played excellent hockey, 'he Rangitaiki forwards and halves instituted several good attacks, but tound Auckland’s defence good, the backs defending well. Play ranged between the goals at a fast pace, the forwards working hard, and the backs Putting up an impenetrable defence, toward the end of the spell the pace slackened. Auckland went away in a strong attack, and Miss Hays made ckland on ° tip. The reverse stirred fn® Maori girls, and they nearly scored just before half-time. The pace "as again hot in the second spell, the interval having refreshed both teams. Rangitaiki made repeated onslaughts °u the blues’ goal, but the efforts went , nr ® war ded, and the pace began to slacken. Auckland’s right-wing made ”P e T llll down the line and sent in a Perfect centre, but two of her teammates missed the opportunity. Rangivi v. tben made a strong forward in and Moko was successful .evening the score amid great re- . Cin & from the Maori supporters on ne side-line. Auckland made strong aorta to gain the lead and although ci> a3 i repeate<J ly went to the Rangitaiki -icie the blues could not score and tj^ ame en( ied in a draw.
