AUSTRALIAN TEAM DEFEATS DANNEVIRKE. FAST, CLEAN DISPLAY. DANNEVIRKE. August 20. > Playing fast, clean hockey, characterised by clever stickwork, the touring Australian team avenged their defeat of 19120 by beating Dannevirke to-day by a margin of four goals, the score being Australian 5, Dannevirke 1. At half-time the visitors were tw r o up. Dannevirke’s score was gained in the first minutes of the second half by T'olmie. The ground was fast and comparatively dry, suiting the Aostralians' •style of play much better than on Saturday at Hamilton. Goals were scored, for Australia by Tester (2), Allen, Penman and Leggett. Their totals would have been higher but for the brilliant play of the Dannevirke goal-keeper, Chapman. Dannevirke 7 s attacks lacked policy. J. Elliott (Australia) repeatedly repelled the forwards to start counter-attacks. The Australian team is a hard-hitting eleven, developing good combination, with their superiority more marked in the forwards than in the defence. Allen was outstanding in the centre. Leggett and Tester were the next best and Lee was the best of the halves. The Dannevirke defence was fairly sound, the fault being the halves, who were disinclined 'to back up the forwards.—(P.A.)
