HOW WILL THE WICKET EVANS
BEHAVE TODAY?
(By Norman Preston)
Sydney; Dec. 14.
All kinds of theories will be put forward as to the way the Sydney wicket will behave on Mon- day when Australia, 228 runs behind with nine wickets to fall, face England's bowlers. With no knowledge of how much more rain will fall and how long the sun will shine, no one can safely forecast which side will benefit. England may, however, find some compensa- tion for, their comparatively poor first innings total.
In Bedser, Edrich, Wright,,' Australia must be pleased with Smith and Compton, England Johnson, whose off spinners possess a bowling variation which claimed six victims for only seven should be suited to whatever con- runs aplece. Off-spinners bad al- ditions prevail but there may be most gone out of fashion here the wish that Voce was available and before this Test, Australia for attacking purposes to exploit placed little reliance on this type the pitch, should it become sticky, jof bowler since Richardson, who Had the "weather remained fine, toured England în 1920 and

London, Dec. 14. Fog shrouded football in England, but there were, nonetheless, some remarkable results in Lea- gue and F. A.

Bristol, who had lost only one match at home this 'season, were a goal up early in the second half, but their opponents, faster and cleverer, hit back gallantly to win by the odd goal of three.

If it were not for Evans, the Navy would undoubtedly have gone down by a larger margin. Time after time he earned all-round applause for his neat handling of shots from Lee Wai-tong and other Chinese forwards.
