Australians May Tour The Australian Hockey As* sociation has deferred acceptance of an invitation to tour the Dominion in 1966, according to Mr M. R. Good, the secretary of the New Zealand association. Britain has not replied to an invitation to tour Australia in 1966. However, even if Britain accepts this invitation, it would not preclude an Australian visit to New Zealand during the season. Australia recently declined invitations to play in tournaments in India, Germany and South Africa.
