Hockey SECOND TEST

j N.Z. Reliance On Speed (N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, June 30 New Zealand's chances in the second hockey test i against the Indian Wanderers jat the Basin Reserve tomor- | row afternoon may well I hinge on the attacking power [of a speedy forward line. The national selectors have indioated their reliance on speed by calling on a Whangarei forward. B. MaunseH. to fill the insiderigint position. He replace* N Hobson who has been switched to centre-forward. The Indian team is the same as the one that narrowly beat Watnarepa. The only doubtful starter is B. PaliL who is on the injured list. He will have a run tomorrow morning and if his injury is satisfactory he wnll play at rigiht wing in place of Madian Singh The only surprise of the selection is the inclusion of Gurbax Singh, normally a full-back, at left-half. He is a strong defender and Nmuld tit in well with the other halves. With the Basin Reserve in good order after the recent spell of fine weather, conditions should favour the speedy stick work and bell! control of the Indians. The Indian team is:— Goal. Gajinder Singh; rightback, Pritihipal Singh; leftback. J Sharma; right-half. Desh Mukh; centre-half, Charanjit Singh; left-he if. Guatbax Singh; right-wing, Madian Singh; inside-right.
