The second round of the Hockey Competitions are to be played under the new rules, so players should give the rules a good look over, before next Thursday. Geraldine seemed to have struck something like their old form on Tliurs- : ■ day, defeating Te Rangi (Timaru), by . 7 goals to one. Te Rangi were play- ; I ing one man short for a while, but j managed to press one of their barrack- i . ore into service to make up- a full team. ! ' The ground was in anything but good j i order,there being a good coating of _ 1 mud on it caused by the late rains, ! ibut nevertheless a good game was wit-I nessed and Geraldine thoroughly de- J 'served their win. i ! The men's senios match on Russell ; j Square was witnessed by a fair crowd j ] of spectators and resulted in a win for j ! the St. Mary's team. In this game ) ! Timaru we.re penalised for obstruction !on a great many occasions, and lost ( !a good deal of ground on that account, I they would do well to look up the ob- I ! atruction rule; their forwards were ' playing well together and with a good I ! tot of backs, they should tako a lot of j istopping. On the other hand the St.; 'Mary's forwards got on some fast for- j : ward rushes and smothered the oppns- ; jing backs very badly at times, especial- j )ly in the first spell. Tho ground was i very bumpy and was very much against i aconrato passing, though some very j •good passing was to bo seen. | J?layora should boar in mind that once rt2&oy lose their stick in a match, they cannot interfere in the play in no way, , mrrfcil -they reoover it. Tho rules distinct- , BW y "thai a player lihalt in no way ' to6orfere with, or take part . fn tho play unless ho has his stick in ' tlaiha-nd." It was notioed several times Jon Thursday, during the men's pame on Russell Square, that players dropped their sticks before stopping the,. - hall with thcii- hands. Players oan stop a hall with their hands, but at th* same time they, must have thejj stick ( ,ia —• #• Vj,y. •,
