Features of the programme were the two sprints, as the British Empire Games rivals, A. W. Sweeney, of the R.A.F., and M. W. Theunissen were again in opposition. The score is two wins each; Sweeney won both the aprints in the British. Empire Games, and Theunissen had his re- venge in both of them in the Test match.
