Veronica Hall, the opposing captain, who is a tall strong girl, and a fine hockey player, won the toss, and chose to play against the wind for the first half.

At exactly eleven, the center forwards, Blossom and Veronica, began the bully-off.

There were three dull clashes as their sticks met, and then with a dexterous stroke, Blossom passed the ball to her Right Inner, Janie Potter.

Before she could strike, the wing on the opposite side captured the ball, and with a clean drive sent it spinning down the field.

It was soon stopped, however, by Doreen Hayward, the Right Half, who, after successfully dribbling it past the enemy Inner, sent it hard out to Aline West, the School Right Wing.
