MARGIN OF 2—l IN HARD-FOUGHT GAME. f.p.y Telegraph —i’ress Association. DUNEDIN, Last Night. The Manavadar Indians gained a narrow victory over New Zealand Universities by two goals to one in a hockey match to-day and the attendance was upwards of 7000. * The teams were evenly matched, the Universities putting up an excellent defence in the face of the Indians’ best attacks, and the first store was secured by Universities, Hubbard, the left wing, following in when Alldred had drawn the Indian goalie. Sultan Khan, inside right, scored both the Indian’s goals, the second being a clever shot which the goalie just failed to stop.

In the second half the Indians were attacking all the time and the Universities were having little chance to get away. The defence, however, particularly by Hercus, goalie, and Hogben, full back, was good enough to keep the score down.

WELLINGTON DRAW WITH ENGLISH W OMEN WELLINGTON, Last Night. On a smooth ground ' the English women’s hockey team played a drawn game with Wellington on Saturday. No goals wore scored.

Scorers for Wellington were Brown (2) and Edwards (2). Best and MeCutcheon scored one each for Hawke’s Bay.
