HOCKEY NOTES

REPLACEMENT OF PLAYERS. Only one game was played locally on Saturday, the ladies’ team versus College B. A very interesting point in connection with this game was the replacements made by College B during the game. Evidently the College girls are under the impression that a team can replace players how it likes and when it likes —even when one player gets exhausted. The replacements had no bearing on the game, but the usual rule is not to permit any replacements after half-time, except with the consent of the other team. If a team commences without a “star” player, and substitutes for her another player, then that “star” has no right to take up her usual place if she arrives later. The only thing a captain can do if he or she wishes to keep a place open for a missing player is to play short until that player arrives. Next Saturday the ladies meet Carterton at Greytown. This should prove a very solid game, and will test the effectiveness of the local team. The juniors used their time profitably on Saturday by mowing the ground and painting the goal posts. A very fine spirit is moving through this team as a whole.

Everyone recognises ihe task which Mr Moor, the appointee of referees, must have from week to week in trying to see that every game is adequately controlled. Those who are appointed could assist materially if they would only let Mr Moor know if they are not available for any particular game, and if they could assist in some other game. No sport can hope to survive oi - progress unless both players and administrators co-operate to the full.
