DRASTIC CHANGES IN NEXT VISIT OF
AUSTRALIANS Suggestions By Manager Of The Last Test Team
Drastic changes in the programme of the next Aus- tralian cricket team visiting England four years hence will be made if suggestions advanced by Mr. W. H. Jeanes, manager of the 1938 team, are approved.
In his report, which will be submitted to the Austra- lian Board of Control this month, Mr. Jeanes will criticise the programme carried out by the team he managed.
He will recommend among other the Improvements matchen with North of England and the South of England, additional fixtures with Yorkshire and possibly Lanenshire, the subaltution of one match against the Combined Universities for the two fixtures with Oxford and Cam- bridge, and the elimination of gaines with the weaker counties such as Northampton and Somerset.

Mr. Jeanes and the players were nat enough games convinced that were played in the North. The She Meld match against Yorkshire
was នា tremendous success, both financially and from a playing point of view.
ENTHUSIASM
The players were tremendously impressed by the enthusiasm and the cricket knowledge displayed by the
crowd both in Yorkshire and in Lancashire and, of equal importance, the tenacity of the opposition,
when the players are tired, faced with two festival matches either of which might produce opposition as formidable as in any of the Test matches.
SOLUTION

The solution, the Australians gest would be an adoption Australian XT against an England touring side in Australla.
It will not be known unili the meeting of the Australian Board of
Control this month what will be the reaction to the English proposal to have all future Test matches limited to 30 hours (six days in Australia of five hours and five days of six hours in England).

Preparations for the fancy dress football match are now completed and, given fair weather, the large crowd that is expected to attend
and should enjoy a very attractive enjoyable game.
The costumes will be varied: those of the European being humorous, but the Chinese side will be depletive, representing various phases of Chin- ese life and periods.
The Chinese side is composed of players whose names were famous in football circles of many years ago. Probably the only player taking part in present day football is the well known Lee Wal-tong, but other names include Wong Ki-leung, Leung
shing and Nit Kam-chuch, who will captain the team.
