ENGLAND TO PLAY INDIA
Probably the finest match in the international hockey tournament will be held on the Royal Navy ground at King's Park to-day, when England will meet India in the semi-final, the winner to meet Portugal in the final on Sunday at 4 p.m., on the Club ground.
Both teams are very strongly re- presented and while England were fully extended against Scotland in the first round, they gave an excel- lent impressioni and stand a good by chance
upset of causing an eliminating India, who were far from satisfying in their first round clash against China.
