MEN'S HOCKEY
THE FORWARD LINE
SHOULD BE A MACHINE
SELFISH TACTICS OUT
The forward line is a machine with its logical movements, and there is no place for selfish individualism. Each place in the field has its own job, and as a general rule the only players who should run any distance with the ball are the wings, the inside men being there only to redirect a pass or receive a pass when in a scoring position. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule, and hockey brains should guide where necessary, but if hard pressed, a player should remember that m's team-mate might see an opening, and as like as not will give it back when his turn comes.
