FINAL GAMES

HOOPER CUP HOCKEY DRAW FOR TOMORROW The final series of games in the senior hockey competition for the Hooper Cup will be played at Steele Park tomorrow. Aotea at present leads other competitors by two points, and if the Technical team wins tomorrow it will gain possession of the cup. Aotea will play Old Boys and in the other senior fixture Kaipaki will be matched against Colts. Wins to both the Old Boys’ and Colts’ teams would leave Aotea and Colts level at the top of the table. Aotea’s chances will be favoured, but the Old Boys’ team is capable of providing stiff opposition. A Hamilton team will play a return match with Taumarunui in Hamilton during the week-end. The Hamilton team is the same as that which defeated Taumarunui in the first match, except that Curteis will be taking the place of Perrett, who is unavailable, and Campbell will occupy the left outside position. Women hockey players will be catered for tomorrow by a seven-a-side tournament. The draw for tomorrow is as fol--1 o ws:— Senior: Kaipaki v. Colts, No. 1 ground, at 1.30 p.m. (Messrs J. Morns and D.
