For Don Bradman, recent winner of a squash rackets contest in Adelaide, has challenged G. O. Allen to a match.

Since his challenge Bradman has seen Allen playing with R. W. V. Robins, who finds it a splendid way of keeping fit while nursing his injured finger.

And what he saw induced Don to ask for six points start out of nine in each game.

Even with this handicap experts think Allen will win the squash rackets rubber for England.
