ENGLAND DEFEATS INDIA IN HOCKEY TOURNAMENT
WINNERS EXCEL IN THE SECOND HALF OF MATCH
GEORGE FOWLER SCORES FIVE GOALS FOR SIDE
(By "The Pilgrim")

England caused a sensation in the semi-finals of the International Hockey Tournament last evening at King's Park when they defeated India by seven goals to one, thus repeating their success of 1937 when they also boat India by the
samo scoro.
After two days of heavy rain thej ground was sodden but Indla Econ settled down to the condition and started off nt a very fast pace. Eng- land on the other hand found the going rather heavy and with only four forwards could not make any headway against India's defence.
After ten minutes' play, however, Guest filed Dunne's place on the left wing to complete the English ottnek,

Then England took a turn in the attack and for a while they kept India's backs busy. Five minutes before the interval, England squared matters when Sid Fowler found the net with a rising shot.

FINGLETON FORECASTS TEN-DAY TESTS
Ten-day Tests In Australia during the next England tour are forecast by J. H. Fingleton, unless Australia falls into line with England and South Africa and bans Timeless Tests.
Fingleton declared that resricted Tests, with the series even dependent upon points for a first innings win and so on, should be welcomed by Australia, as well as by South Africa and Eng. land.
"The more I think of it," says Fingleton, "the more I am convinced that Australia would give way quickly and gracefully in this Test business. The fact that we have got away with limitless Tests in Australia in the last two series should cut .no ice..
"In the 1932-33 series we had the leg-theory of Jardino's team, to cut things short, and in the last series we had an in- ordinate amount of wet wickats. The Oval farce of last year gavo England a sickener, and white Tests of six, seven or eight 'days are good for gate receipts, they are not good for the game." In a timeless Test a batsman felt that he was not doing his job if he got out in taking a scoring risk. the root of the evil of negative Test batting. The motto of That complex was at time'ess Tests was "Steady, steady and steadier.

Henry Colton, of Ashridge, Herts, has been appointed captain of the British professional team to meet the United States in the Ryder Cup match at the Ponte Vedra County Club, Jacksonville, Florida, on Nov. 18 and 19. Walter Hagen has again been appoint. ed non-playing captain of the American team.
Cotton, who is 32 and became a professional at the age of 17, has twice been Open champion--in 1934 and 1937. "I regard the appointment as a great honour and shall do my best to justify the selection," he said at Addington yesterday.
Colton added:
