HOCKEY
INDIAN TEAM IN AUSTRALIA United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received June 2. 9.5 pin.) SYDNEY. June 2. The Indian hockey team easily defeated the Metropolitan Manly team at the Oval by 6 goals to 1. after leading by 3 to 1 at the spell. The weather was bleak and gusty. Incessant rain in the morning made the ground soft. Moreover the tufty turf handicapped the Indians' natural stick proficiency. The visitors were altogether too fast and nimble. The secret of their success was splendid positional play. Their passes were invariably directed where they knew their colleagues would be. By contrast, the Metropolitan passes were directed where they hoped their team mates would be. The visitors seldom chased, but often ran with the ball. The scorers were Sultan Khan (3), Feroze Khan, Ahmed Khan, Lajput Rai (1 each). For Metropolitan, Davidson opened the scoring.
