TEST MATCH
SOUTH AFRICANS FORCE A DRAW
Jahannesburg, Dec. 30.-Defying England's attack for six hours-in scoring his maiden century în Test cricket, Eric Rowan helped South Africa force a creditable draw today in the second Test here.
At the close of play, South Africa had scored 270 for two wickets in their second innings, having made 315 runs in their first innings in reply to England's 608.
With eight wickets still standing, they were only 23 runs behind.
Rowan, who had been dropped by the Selectors from the team for the third Test, made 150 not out, by after being missed at mid-off George Mann, the English captain, with his score at 53.
Wright (one for 35) and Alce Dedser (one for 51) were the only English bowlers to be rewarded by a wicket for much tolling work.
