WIN ALL TEST GAMES:

A SPLENDID RECORD

The Nawab of Manavadar's team, which in- cluded six members of the last Indian Olympic sido, 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 over to lower the Indians' colours-a splendid achievement and one which received the un- stinted congratulation of the Nawab, who did not plead that casual- tics had played havoc with his side.

Auckland, in fact, won on their merits and the Indians were as pleased as the home team, who had fashioned their tacties on those of the visitors.

FOUR TESTS WON

The Indians, however, had the satisfaction of winning all four of the Test matchen-by 2-1 at Dunedin,

5-1 at Christchurch, 4-0 at Welling- ton and 3-2 at Auckland.

Mrs. Garon And Storey Win-Mixed Golf Title In Worplesdon Tourney

By George Greenwood

London, Oct. 15.

Mrs. Marjorie Garon, a former English champion, and Eustace Storey, an ex-Cambridge captain and Walker Cup player, won the Open Scratch Mixed Foursomes at Worplesdon yesterday. In the 36 holes final they beat Miss Wanda Morgan, a former holder of the British and English titles, and Kenneth Morrice, captain of Oxford in 1934, by the suprisingly big margin of 6 and 5.

BADMINTON PROGRAMME COMMENCES

TWO FIXTURES DECIDED IN "B" DIVISION

Only two matches were played in the "B" Division of the Men's Doubles Badminton League last evening, the other two games being postponed.

At Taikoo, Chung Wah had little dimculty in disposing of the V.R.C., winning by seven gamea to two. Among the players turning out for Chung Wah were several who repre- sented the C.R.C, in the League last year.

St. John's, winners of the "B" Divi- slon Inst season, mude a good start in their game against the Wanderers and conceded only one game out of nine.

As the St. Andrew's Holl was not available, the tle between St. An- drew's "A" and Club de Recreio was

not played. It is understood that St. Andrew's cannot play home matches
