The Better Players
On the Indian Army, Ajalb Hus- sain distinguished himself at left back, and contrived to get through a good deal of work, while Bhag Singh, left half, also gave a fine dis- play.
The forwards were fast and clever, and of these Faquir Mohamed and Amanat Ali with their brilliant stick- work were the pick.
The British forwards were rather disjointed, probably owing to their leader Hitchcock not being available, but Shechan and Shaw gave their best.
