HOCKEY STICKS WANTED
FOR MEN IN TRENTHAM CAMP. APPEAL BY MR G. W. MORICE. An appeal for gifts of hockey sticks (which may be old ones if they are still serviceable) for the use of soldiers in training at Trentham Camp, is made by Mr G. W. Morice, M.A., president of the Wairarapa Hockey Referees’ Association. “About 100 of our men in training at Trentham wisn to play hockey on the afternoon allotted each week to sport,” Mr Morice told a “Times-Age” representative, “but at present there are available in the camp only about two dozen hockey sticks. I have been asked to make an appeal to old players of the game in this district to look out any old sticks (whatever their condition) that may be lying about, and to send them to me at Wairarapa College, so that they may be forwarded to Trentham. Any pupil of the College, if requested, will collect sticks and bring them in. "As the present hockey season has only about two months to run,” Mr Morice added, “It is more true than usual that he that gives at once gives twice.”
