INDIA ENTERS 2ND ROUND OF GUTIERREZ SHIELD

FRONT PLAYERS

IN FINE FORM AGAINST MALAYS

DALLAH'S BRILLIANCE UNAVAILING IN BOWLS INTERNATIONAL TIE

By "Abc"

India (J. Hoosen, D. M. Khan, A. R. Minu and A. K. Minu) entered the second round of the Gutierrez Shield International bowls competition by beating Malayn (A, M. Wahab, A. Bakar, M. R. Abbas and A. R. Dallah) yesterday by 20-16 on the Hongkong F. C. Green. They will now meet Portugal, the winners to enter the semi-final,

The Indian fully deserved their victory, being by far the better all- round rink. Their three front men, Hoosen, Khon und A. R. Minu, com- pletely outplayed Wahni, Bakar and Abbas, and left their sldp with little to do. On the other hand, Dallali received so little

support that he found himself up against it on the majority of the heads.

Dallah, who seems to be playing the moment, on top of his form at was brilliant. But for him, the the Malays would certainly have had a heavier defeat. Time and again when the "lie" was against him, he either carried the jack or drew the chot. With a little better support from his No. 3, Abbns, who probably bas never played a worse game in his life, Dallah might have carried the Malays through.

Indiana The softled down to it much better than the Malays, and at one stage of the

- encounter were actually leading by 14-5. They blanked the Malays on aix short heads, during which time they piled on 12 shots. Then Hoosen lost the jackt, and on the next three full heads the Malays scored nine to drnav level. The Indinna ran off again and when, the Inst bend was played, they were leading by 20-15.

The standard of play was not very high but there were some good heads. The Indians scored on the majority of the short heads and the Malays on the long ones.

Asi already stated, the three Indion front men, Hoosen, Khan and A. R. Minu, played very well indeed. If they produce the same form when they meet Portugal, India will have an even chance of getting through, strong though the Portuguese rink scoms to be on paper,
