CRICKET POWER
Determination In S.A. (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) JOHANNESBURG, Sept. 27. South Africa was determined to remain a major cricket power, Mr Boon Wallace, retiring president of the South African Cricket Association, said at the annual meeting yesterday. South Africa sorely missed direct representation on the Imperial Cricket Conference, said Mr Wallace, and he thought it wrong that it should be excluded from a body of which it was a founder member. “We are grateful that efforts are being made to find a formula that will allow for our readmission,” he said. Mr Wallace said the board was disappointed at the new arrangement for cricket tours, which meant South Africa sharing a summer with New Zealand. Some people, he said, would consider this a loss of status for South Africa, but he was confident the team’s performances in England would put an end to such talks. Mr K. Viljoen, who managed the South African team to Australia and New Zealand last year, was elected president.
