The German Hockey Club staged an intro-club affair yesterday afternoon at Kiaochow Park when a team composed of married players met a side made up of bachelors in quest of the Reiber Cup, a recently donated trophy for annual competition by Mi. Fr. Reiber who is one of the dyed-inthe-wool hockey enthusiasts in the German community.
After a thoroughly keen contest, the married players proved slightly better than the unmarried exponents and emerged victors by a close score of 2-1. The married team were generally expected to win for they possessed no less than nine first leaguers. Schoemann and Wetzell were responsible for putting their side in the winning column after 50 minutes of fruitless fight. The opponents waged a belated rally which fell short. Kuelps, the left-half, was the one who brought the losers back to life in the closing minutes, MARRIED:—Von Grafen, Melchers, Meske, Remelle, Wetzell,—Drosse, Senksen, Von Astor, Schaemann, Essen, and Guenter UNMARRIED:—Tollens, Rodde, Schreder, Knabe, Lemmser, Kuelps. Schanz, Bohchow, Jes sen, Wuicke, and Deeumiing.
