YESTERDAY'S RUGGER
Wayfoong Overcome Club By 15 Points To 9
By "PAK LO"
With Petrie playing for them after all and sparking them to victory by means of two penalty conversions, Wayfoong, playing a brand of rugger which was almost foreign to them, overcame a stronger Club side by 15 points (3 tries, 2 penalty reals) to 9 points (3 penalty goals) in a fairly good game on the Club ground at Happy Valley yesterday evening.
As expected at the start of the game the Club easily outhooked the Bank, but despite good service from Henderson the Club threes did not settle.
A Great Thing For

The news about Don Cockell is that he has signed

In flagrant contradiction to the World Contest rules, the Americans insisted upon the pernicious return bout clause the same as they did when Randolph Turpin defested Sugar Ray Robinson, an indication of how chary they are of losing grasp of any world championship. But as the completely unconcerned Cockell says: "Any sort of contract is better than to contract at all***

Kingston Test
Ends In A Draw
Kingston, Mar. 23. The match between Jamaica and the Australian touring team ended in a draw here today.
Jamaica, who made 474 in their first innings, were 28 for no wicket in their second innings at the close of play.
Australia made 453 and 319. Australia lost opening batsman Arthur Morris for the addition of only 38 runs to their over- night second innings total of 13 on the resumption of play today. At lunch, the tourists were 115 for two, Len Maddocks (58) and Neil Harvey (28) having added 6 in an unbroken third wicket stand.
Towards the end of the game the Wayfoong team got a large share of the ball from the set scrums and it was mainly from tries.
