At the weekly meeting of the Hockey Association, Air Keith, referee m the match played last week between Timaru and Geraldinc, reported that he had to order a Gcraldine player off the ground for disputing his decision. He also warned the whole team for continual talking. The Committee decided to disoualify H. Gracie for one playing Thursday, and to warn a l players (men ana ladies) that any further complaints will be more severely dealt witii, as they are determined in the interests of hockey to put their feet down on this practice. A letter was read from the Wangamli Hockey Association intimating tliat they were sending a team on tour, and would like to play the S.C. Association if possible. it 'was decided to reply ix-cepting the invitation to a match. In reference to a protest by Temuka A against Ueraldine B, in last Thursday's match, it was decided to postpone the matter until next meeting, when tne referee and a representative Irom Temuka will be invited to attend.
