It was a contest of exclling, but not brilliant hockey. There was far too much barging, sticks and kleks, one of the chief offenders being Khan Bahadur.

NeverthelessS Portugal deserved their success as they played the batter hockey after the first trying half an hour during which their defences were tested to the full,

It was an encounter of fast and interesting rallies. Both players served well, drove hard and made ex- tremely clever shots from the fore- court. Milne was his best when hting with a dat racket; hin big falling was a chop stroke on the run. Occasionally it scored; more often it found the net.

There was nothing to choose be tween the players in their volloying, and nothing, in fact, to choose between them in any branch of the Rome. Gonano was, perhaps, more stylish, but Milne's extremely fine recoverion. negatived any sight pull Gosano might have had in developing an at-
