STICKS FOR LEADING SCORERS

WIN ALL TEST GAMES:

A SPLENDID RECORD

The Nawab of Manavadar's team, which in- 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-a splendid achievement and one which received the un- atinted congratulation of the Nawab, who did not plead that casual- ties 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 tactles on those of the visitors.

FOUR TESTS WON

The Indians, however, had the satisfaction of winning all four of the Test matches-by 3-1 at Dunedin, 5-1 at Christchurch, 4-0 at Welling- Ion and 3-2 at Auckland,

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.
