Britain Beaten 4-0 In Text Book Game

London, August 12.

India crashed its way through to a 4 to 0 Olympic hockey vic- tory tonight over Britain at Wembley Stadium with a game straight from the pages of the hockey text books.

From the opening whistle they gave 10,000 specta- tors in the Stadium a 70-minute exhibition of intelligent and fast play which never for a moment gave the British a chance of equalis- ing, let alone winning.

The Indians took the field after the Pakistan- Holland match for third place ended in a 1-1 draw, The game will be decided tomorrow evening.

The victorious tean moved like clockwork from the first bully off to the final whistle. They forced the game, they

ran circles round a slow, duller British team: In fit. They played one of the finest games ever seen in Britain.

But their task w by no means: easy. The ground was softer Rapri the indious would have liked, arus The instinti defence, rticularly

CONFIDENCE IN ENGLAND FOR THE FINAL TEST

London, August 13.

The fifth and final Test match is due to start of the Oval hore tomorrow, providing England with her last chance of defeating Australia and thus give the game in this country a boost which would be of benefit to playors and spectators alike.

D

England's great fighting dis-} plays at Old Trafford and Leeds have inspired greater confidence in their ability to score a win in this Test than has existed on the eve of any of the others, but there can be no doubt that the magni- tude of their task is great,

So much rain has fallen at the Oval in the past week that unless there is a big improvement in the overcast and windless conditions of this morning, the start of the Test seems almost certain to be telayed. In accordance with the rules, the pitch was completely covered for the next 24 hours from Just before noon today.

The Oval groundman stated today that the present rain would undo all the good work he put in last night.

**If only

last night's strang wind had kept blowing, the pitch would have dried so well that there will have been no doubt of the match starting on time to- morrow," he said,
