HOW WILL THE WAR AFFECT CRICKET? Patsy Hendren Makes Some Brief Comments
PATSY
HENDREN. Tho great English ricketer-Middlesex and Test player expresses the faith that English cricket will weather the war.
POSSIBILITY
Can our young cricketers come through the war with their playing powers undiminished? asks Patsy Hondren. History says they can. Look back to thoso unofficial Tests right after the 1914-18 strafo against Germany and note the men who played for Australia.
That cleven was recruited from the Australian forces; they were men who had fought side by side with us. And what a team! "Horseshoe" Collins, "Nip" Pellew, Bertic Oldfield, Charlie Kelleway, and Jack Gregory, just begin- ning to be a speed specialist..
They formed the bones of the day in Leeds, with England and best Australian side-the 1921 Australia slap in the middle of one team-ever to come to England. of the best Tests ever fought.
Our boys had been invlled over to So there's proof that it takes Lord Harewood's place, not far from more than a war to kill cricket Leeds. All suve Compton piled into

This
was the comment of dog Hardstuff, another of Our great young players: "I'm not surprised. When Compton's next man in you have to tell him to put on his pads."
Temperament counts. There you inve the reason why I think such grand young uns as Dents Compton and Len Hutton will return to the big-time stuff ny good in ever.

HAVING established the fact that
Zamperini can run that fast, the| next deduction has to be that hej should have to run faster than his NCAA record time to win this time because he is going to be up against the greatest collegiate feld in his-| tory.
