Blows for England
(N.Z. Press Assn—Copyright) SYDNEY.
England’s Rugby league team suffered a double blow when X-rays revealed that both a wing, John Atkinson, and a second-row forward, Tom Martyn, have broken bones. Martyn has a fractured scaphoid bone in his left wrist, and is out of the game for three months. Atkinson has two broken ribs and may be out for a month. England faces Australia, leading team in the world series, at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday with only 17 fit players. It might call on Mick Adams, a Widnes player now with the Canterbury-Bankstown club in Sydney.
