- Description
A very small boy runs along a garden path whacking a ball with a furled umbrella, for a hockey stick. His father stops mowing the lawn to lament to his neighbour who is watering a garden strip that the boy 'had everything - Ron Jarden's pace, Jackie Dougan's side-step, Bob Scott's eye for an opening - then we went to have a look at the Indians'. Context - Ron Jarden was an All Black who played his first game in 1951 and retired in 1956. Jackie Dougan was a first five eighth who played for Petone and Onslow, and Bob Scott was also an All Black who played between 1946 and 1954. An Indian hockey team visited New Zealand in 1955. Dr. G.S. Randhawa captained the Indian Hockey Team in New Zealand and Australia during 1955.
The cartoon has one slip of paper glued to the top left which reads 'The Evening Post August 6th 1955 and a second slip glued top right which reads 'Sports Post - Wellington, Threepence'.
