WORLD-CLASS HOCKEY BY PAKISTANIS

Score Would Have Been Much More Than 7-0 But For Kadir's Brilliance By "DEE"

Rarely have so many spectators seen such a brilliant brand of hockey as was served out yesterday at Sookunpoo, when the visiting Pakistan National XI and Asian Games Champions, blanked what was supposed to have been the best team Hongkong could muster by seven goals to nil.

The score, actually is no true indication of the game, for I am sure muny will agree with me when I say that had it not been for some superb goalkeeping by Kadir, the local eleven would have been swamped by. a much wider margin. One spectator was heard to shout to this effect, "Come on Hongkong you can't rely on Kadir all the time."

WHAT PAKISTAN'S COACH HAS TO SAY

By "ARGONAUT” "The Hongkong team is pot bad" said Mr M, Hussain, couch of the Pakistan National hockey eleven aftor the Pakistanis morch with the Hongkong Selection yesterday.

"They are fast and nippy. but what they lack most seems to be good coach- ing. The most noticeable deficiency in the local team is lack of combina- tion and understanding".

Elaborating on these state- ments, he explained that for a team to be really good, they must practise together under a

Mr Donald Campbell is al- ready the holder of the world's water speed record of 230 miles per hour. His father, the late Sir Malcolm Campbell, held both land and water records before the Second World War.

According to the Daily Herald writer, the new Campbell car is being designed by the Morris Brothers, who planned and built his record-breaking jet speed- bout "Bluebird."
