No Russian hockey tour
Russia will not send its hockey team to New Zealand for a short tour before the Olympics next year. A cable was received by the New Zealand Hockey Association yesterday from the Russian federation stating that the Russian team was unable to tour New Zealand.
First indications of a tour to this country were given by the chairman of the Russian Hockey Federation (Mr A. Liken) when he visited New Zealand a year ago. But in spite of several communications nothing had been heard from the Russian federation until yesterday.
