 pushed further forward, and the ball covered with the lower angle previous to the draw.

6. Back Catch.—Raise your crosse about two inches from the position assumed before the word "play" is given, and in the same motion turn the bend inwards towards the crosse of your opponent, so as to press in its net work, tip pointing slightly to the right. Press against his crosse, get the bend on the other side of the ball, and draw to your right. Always keep the bend on the ball.

7. Half-wheel Face—Is done by springing on your left foot as a pivot, making a sort of "left face," at the same time reversing the tip as in No. 4, excepting that the crosse should be almost perpendicular at the termination of the wheel. The ball is taken with the top of the curve, by a tip towards your original rear.

When you purpose taking the ball to your right, the draw or tip must not be as forcible as if to left because then you send it towards your own goal. Centre should quietly tell the near field of his side, the particular direction in which he proposes hooking the ball, in order that the latter can regulate his position accordingly.
