Patsy Hendren Makes Some Brief Comments
Can our young cricketers come through the war with their playing powers undiminished? asks Patsy Hendren. History says they can. Look back to those unofficial Tests right after the 1914-18 strafe against Germany and note the men who played for Australia.
That eleven 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, Bertie 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.

[AVING established the fact that Zamperini can run that fast, the next deduction has to be thai he should have to rua faster than his NCAA record time to win this time! because he is going to be up against the greatest collegiate fleld in his- Lory.
