HOCKEY OPENING

GAMES IN HAMILTON PROSPECTS FOR SEASON Indications are for another successful hockey season in Hamilton this year, and "when the teams take the field on Saturday for the opening matches the increased Interest in the game will be evident. In the senior section the same five teams as last year will compete. They are the two Technical elevens. Aotea and Tokomaru, Old Boys, Colts and Kaipakt. The junior grade has been divided into two sections, owing to the extra teams taking part, these being Ruakura, Kaipaki and two Technical School teams. Many of th* senior players taking part last year are turning out again this season, while, several new members have been introduced into the teams. A good deal of interest, will centre round the form of the players, especially as the Indian hockey team is visiting the Dominion this year. THE DRAW Seniors —Tokomaru v.
