INDIAN TEAM’S NARROW WIN OVER N.Z. UNIVERSITIES (By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, July 9. The Prince of Manavadar’s Indian hockey team gained a narrow victory over N.Z. Universities by two goals to one. There was an attendance of upward of 7000. The teams were evenly matched, Universities putting up an excellent defence in the face of the Indians’ best attacks. The first score was by Universities, Hubbard, left-wing, following in when Alldred had drawn the Indian goalie. Sultan Khan, inside-right, scored both the Indians’ goals, the second being a clever shot which the goalie just failed to stop. In the second half the Indians were attacking all the time and Universities had little chance to get away, but the defence, particularly by Hercus in goal and Hogben at full-back, kept the score down. ENGLISH LADIES’ TEAM DRAW IN WELLINGTON (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The unbeaten English women’s hockey team played a drawn game with Wellington at the Basin Reserve on Saturday, when there were no goals scored. England had the territorial advantage all the time and Wellington had only one or two chances of scoring, but the local defence was so sound that they kept the formidable tourists at bay.
