N.Z. BOWLERS ‘TOO STAID’
Skip Defends His Style (NX. Press Assn.— Copyright) PERTH, November 26. S. H. Drysdale, skip of the English gold medal winning bowls four, believes several other teams competing during the past week, including the New Zealand team, are too staid. Drydale became the No. 1 personality at the bowling because of his habit of chasing bowls up the green and his antics while the bowls were running. Drysdale, a 58-year-old manufacturer's agent, denied that gamesmanship was involved in his behaviour. He said he had played that way all his life and he was known all over Britain for the entertainment he provided. Dr. A. P. Davis, chairman of the committee organising the Games bowling, said he had no objection to the play of the Englishman. He would not like all Australians to play in the same style but he felt the play of the English team had done e lot to draw spectators to the Games bowling.
