Hockey Notes.

"Wotten (St. Mary's) played a safe game in goal against St. Augustine's last week, stopping every shot that looked dangerous, in excellent style. The Temuka team that took part in the 5-a-side tournament held in Christchurch last week, failed to get a place the the competition, b-'ing put out by the Drapers' team by 2 goals to nil. -F.- Lagan (Geraldine), played his last game for that club on Thursday, and no doubt they will miss him in "future matches. He is a very determined defensive player, and plays a game in- both the half and three-quarter line.

Palliser (St Mary's) played a good game on Thursday. The onlv fault he has is reckless shooting. He should try and be more accurate at hitting when in the circle, he lost several good chances through bad shooting, against Geraldine.

In the match. St. Marv's v. St. Augustine's (Waimate), played on the Park last week, the game was a fast one throughout, though St. Marv's easily held their own." The forwards will have to learn to shoot when in the circle. Last week they missed about a dozen easy shots.
