Joy for one Lion
(N.Z.P.A. Staff Correspondent) BLENHEIM.
Through the dark clouds hovering over the Lions’ team there was reason for rejoicing by one player yesterday. T. G. R. Davies, the Welsh winger, received news from London that he had passed his final two units for his B.A. degree at Cambridge University. Davies with no telephone in his hotel room, had to sprint down two flights of stairs in his red shortie pyjamas to the hotel foyer to take the phone call from London shortly after dawn. No Lion has risen so quickly or moved so fast in the early morning on this tour. The subjects which completed his degree were English language and English literature. Davies, aged 26. stayed behind at Cambridge for the exams when the tour began, and joined the Lions after they had played three games in New Zealand.
