ABOUT TO-DAY'S
BIG MATCH
Portugal May Win International
The going is likely to bot sticky for this afternoon's Inter- national Tournament semi-final between Portugal and India, but a finely contested match is na- sured.
India are holders of the title and will field the following team- Ramzan; Khan Bhadur and Kishen Singh; M. H. Hussain, Tarn Singh
Khuda Bux, and Alat Singh: Singh, A. Khan, Awtar Singh and Lal Singh.
Portugal will be represented by: Souza: A. Silva and, E. L.. Gozano; J. Gonsalves, Oliveira ond Belirao; Nolasco, B. Gosano, J. Pinton, A. P. Souza, and A. Angelo. Reserves!— A. A. dos Remedion, J. Pereira, A. Alves and N. Farin.
One cannot but feel it is unfurt- unate these two fine teams should be drawn in the same half, for 1 am firmly convinced that either are good enough to beat England who have alrendy reached the final.
