TEACHERS AND CRICKETERS
DINNER TO AUSTRALIAN TRIO Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, September 6. (Received September 7, at 12.40 p.nl.) At the National Union of Teachers’ dinner to Woodfull, Wall, and O’Reilly, which occurred on the fifty-fourth anniversary of the first test, Sir Ronald Gorell (president of the Royal Societies of Teachers) said be hoped, as in education, that flogging of players and selectors would ne abolished. Mr Humphrey, thp union’s president, who presided, said that the Australian trio truly represented everything they meant within the Empire when they said “it is cricket.” He added that Woodfull was quitting Empire cricket on the very crest of the wave. No better captain ever came to England. Woodfull, replying, said the greatest day of the tour was not the day they won the ashes, but the Sunday afternoon they were permitted to spend at Windsor Castle with Their Majesties.. . Wall said this would be his last visit to England. Messages read included a Melbourne cable: <f The Victorian Teachers’ Union congratulates the victorious Australian eleven on passing the test.”
