SATURDAY’S HOCKEY
THE WAIRARAPA LADIES' TEAM. (To the Editor.) Sir —Could you tell me why it is that what is little more than a B team has been chosen to represent Wairarapa ladies against Ruahine next Saturday as a curtain-raiser to the Indian match? When players of the calibre of Misses J. Harding, N. Stalker, E. Madsen, B. Welch, N. Rutherford and M. Rhodes are omitted, to say nothing of others whose performances entitle them to consideration over several of the elect, it is simply farcical to describe the team as a representative one. One reason I have heard advanced for the very strange selection made is that Ruahine are not strong this season, and the local association wish to entertain the public with an evenly-contested game. If this is so, it appears the selector has carried this altruistic attitude a little too far, and it is quite on the cards that the game may still prove a walk-over, with Ruahine leading the cheers.-—Yours, etc., ■ PUZZLED.
