In positional play their understanding of one another is almost uncanny, their stick work is almost magical, and their ball control and general all-round ability are such that those in a position to express an opinion state this is the finest team of hockey players the world has known. At least 85 per cent, aro likely to be.playing at the 1936 Olympics at Berlin, and Dhyan Cl'iand is said to be the best player in the world to-day.
