PORTUGAL BEAT INDIA 6-1 IN INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY TOURNAMENT SEMI-FINAL
By "OBSERVER"
Portugal strengthened their bid for the International hockey tille, which they held the year before last, with an overwhelming 6-1. win over India yesterday at the Recreio ground.
The Portuguese XI consisted mainly of members of the Recrelu champlon league team and, although they were not at full strength, displayed a vasily superior combination.
They presented an almost impregnable defence with Garcia in goal, Nery and Lionel Xavier the backs, and Ronnie Collaco, Willle Reed and Leo Vieira the halves.

KEY TO BRIGHTER CRICKET
Says DENNIS HART
The 1952 cricket season approaches under a decided financial shadow. Alten- dances last season were 10 per cent below those of 1950 when the West Indies toured England. And it is perhaps expecting too much of an already weakened Indian touring team that this summer they will be able to halt the slide.
What is needed is an internal blood transfusion'; some means of brightening county cricket so that spectator interest is maintained.
