(By Telegraph.—Special to Guardian). DUNEDIN, Sept. 17 The hockey match between Otago A and AA'est Coast was played under unfavourable weather conditions. During the first spell Coast played against the wind and on the whole lacked iho combination shown by Otago. The spell ended Otago 2, Coast nil. AA ith the wind behind them in the second spell Coast brightened and kept Otago busy. Aliss Stubbs shot two fine goals but Otago again attacked, shooting 2 more goals before the game ended; Otago 4, Coast 2. Considering Coast played a home team and were without any practice together the girls’ play was commendable, Aliss Furness deserving special mention.
