HOCKEY IN HAMILTON. Rum MARS PLAY. COLTS :\.\'D OLD BOYS \VIN. Playing for the first time this season under really wet conditions. players had to contend with sodden grounds when games in the Kiliip Memorial Shield comfietition were continued at Stcclc Park on Saturday. In View 01’ the adverse conditions it was deemed to postpone the representative trial match, liainilton \'. \\’aikalo. There was little polish about the play in the senior games, but both matches were iiard and solid. Coils further consolidated their position on the t'haiiipionshtp table, but they had to fight hard to head Kaipaki by two goals to one. Play was also fairly even in the Ltid Technicals—Old Boys fixture, the latter proving the winners by two goals to nil. ' Soar-es. (tld Boys 2, Old Technicals 0. Colts 2, Kaipaki 1. EVEN PLAY. CULTS DEFEAT KAIPAKI. A heavy ground and petting rain robbed the ix'aipaki-Uolts match of much of its interest, the adverse con—ditions tniiltating' against any last play. IJolt-s had all the better of the first half, but had to defend strenuously in the second spell to run out winners by two goals to one. The teams were— Kaipaki—Smillie, Goodwin, Cowley. F. Boyd, Bones, Dunwoody, G. Boyd. A. Boyd. Burrows, Graham, Oddy. Colts—McKinnon, 0. Clark, Jane. Hubbard, Giough, Badcock, Curteis. Cromwell, Perrett, McKibben. Wycherlev. Steady rain was failing when the teams took the field and play‘at the opening was slow and uninteresting. Colts were first to press, but Graham changed the venue of play when he tackled strongly to send the ball through to half—way. Kaipaki sustained the attack, and Oddy brought them within goaltng distance with a fast run down the side, but Jane was conspicuous for sound defence and beat the winger for possession. A. Boyd turned defence into attack when he came through strongly, but Uioush tackled him successfully. Kaipakl came again, however, Oddy bringing the ball down on the right to centre to Graham, who was in a handy position. The Kaipaki player was well blocked by Colts’ defence, but he sent on to Burrows, who was within an ace of sealing, but the ball was diverted to behind the net. Cromwell Open: score. Colts were given a chance following a corner, but Perrett‘s effort to goal failed to get through an alert defence, Colts persisted, however, and their reward came when, from a willing melee close in the circle, Cromwell sent a hard shot past Smillie. The heavy ground was obviously handi—capping the players and the game was being played at a slow tempo. Kai— Dttiii took a turn on attack and A. Boyd was given an excellent opportunity to goal, but sent the ball behind after he had taken the bail right to the goalmouth. (iruham was given a similar opportunity a few minutes later, but his goaling effort was misdirected. (jolts added an easy goal to their tally in the opening play of the second hait‘. .\lcKiiihcn taking the ball through on his own and poking a. slow one into the net. Smiliie came out and attempted to kick it away, but missed. ‘nnd the hall trickled into the net. ltuipahi retaliated with a series of brisk attacks and Colts' defence was sorely tried. Oddy sent, the bail across the field and it was fielded by G. Boyd, who shot the ball into the not. a goal being disallowed because of a prior infringement. Bones later made a desperate attempt to goal from an acute angle, but his shot was just wide. The country team continued to bustle Coltis‘ defence and on one occasion it appeared that G. Boyd had scored. but the umpire ruled the the player had ltiL'lit‘d the ball into the not. Kaipaki wcrc striving energetically to reduce the margin over them, and following a series of repeated onsiaiigiits A. Boyd gozlled from tight play close in, just on the call of time, leaving Uoits the winners by 2 goals to i. The umpires were Messrs R. W. ilcnnrtt and ii. Braithwaite.
