English outridden
NZPA London The Australasian speedway team trounced England 70-36, at Hull, clinching their test series, 3-1. The English team was completely outclassed. It had been sadly depleted by a decision to re-arrange the British final at Coventry on the same evening. This meant five of the original team were taken out of the line-up. Australasia took control in the opening heat and never lost its grip. Phil Crump scored a maximum for the
I Australasians, while Eng--1 land’s challenge was left to their reserve, Tom Owen and 1 Frank Auffret. Owen, a national league rider from Newcastle making his full international debut, topped the England chart with 10 points.
Results.—Australasia 70 (P. Crump 16, B. Saunders 15, L. Ross 13, J. Titman 9. M. Shirra 7, I. Mauger 7, J. Boulger 3) beat England 36 (T, Owen 10, F. Auffret 7, I. Cartwright 7, K. Jolly 6, N. Middleditch 3, C. Pusey 2, T. Betts 1, G. Drury 0).
