A SPLENDID RECORD

The Nawab of Manavadar's toam, which inga cluded six members of the last Indian Olympic side, have just returned to India after a successful tour of New Zealand where they won 30 of their 31 matches.

Their only reverse was at Auckland, where the provincial team defeated them by five goals to four and thus earned the distinction of being the first team in that country ever to lower the Indians" colours splendid achievement and one which received the un- atinted congratulation of the Nawab, who did not plead that casual- tica had played havoc with his side."

FOUR TESTS WON

The biggest victory of the tour was scorext at Rotus where the

dians beat the local team by 24-0. They also entered, double figures on ten other occasions
