HOCKEY.

Foxton journeyed to Palmerston yesterday to play a match against High School Old Girls and received a severe beating, the final score being B—2.8 —2. Rain had fallen continually during the morning and the ground was in a very greasy condition with occasional pools of water. Foxton was the only team present with a full team, the other competing teams having only eight players a piece. For the first spell Foxton appeared to have the best part of play, the first scores being registered by Mrs Ball, 2 —nil. However, Miss M. Waters scored for the home team, shortly after followed by a goal scored by Miss G. Hands. At half time the scores were 2 all. In the second half Foxton was completely' defeated, further goals being scored in ILS.O.G.’s favour by Miss McKenzie 1, Miss Hands 1, Miss Me Sweeney 1, Mis Ale Minn 3. After the match the visiting team was entertained at Ross’s tea-rooms. LADIES’ REPRESENTATIVE TRIAL. POSSIBLES V. PROBABLES. The following teams have been chosen by the sole selector (Air W.
