HOCKEY TEAM FOR TOUR

METHODS OF SELECTION STRONG OBJECTION VOICED Taranaki Association’s Protest Press Association —Copyright. Eltham, June 22. Strong objection to the method of selection of the New Zealand hockey team to tour Australia was voiced at a meeting of the Taranaki Hockey Association last night, and a motion recording a protest was adopted.

It was stated by Mr N. O. Ebbett that of sixiteen players chosen eleven represented city associations. Neither of Taranaki’s two nominees was selected, yet this province was regarded as one of the strongest hockey centres in the Dominion. Taranaki met and defeated Wellington on three occasions, and during each, of the past three seasons had toured, suffering only one loss. When 'the All-India team visited New Zealand in 1935 Taranaki had put up the best performance of the tour, although the visiting eleven included eight Olympic representatives Mr Ebbett moved that a protest be recorded on. behalf of all country players, and not Taranaki, solely. While members did not know the capabilities of the selected players, it appeared that preference was shown ftfr nominees? of the major associations, said the president, Rev. J. A. Ryburn.
