INDIANS WIN
Hockey Match Against Otago By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, July 20. The superior etickwork, ball control and positional play of the Indians prevailed against Otago to-day, when the Indians won a hockey match by five goals to one. The home side presented good defence, which for the greater part of play kept the Indians in check, and on many occasions, more especially in the first half, Otago set up good movements, which only the efficiency of the Indians managed to defeat, Gurnarain Singh and S. M. Hussain being prominent in this connection. ‘
