DANGER OF “WIN OR LOSE” TACTICS
CRITICS ON SPRINGBOK TOUR PRESS PLEA FOR HIGHER CODE United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright CAPETOWN, July 19. “The Cape Argus,” commenting on the reports of rough play, regrets the incidents in the Test match. “A do or die spirit,” says ‘The Argus,’ "is entirely praiseworthy, a win or kill determination thoroughly deplorable. Unless the visitors set their face against foul play, troubles will occur in New Zealand, far outdoing the incidents in Australia. South Africans hope their representatives will play the game, even if they lose, rather than triumph in the art of doubtful tactics. It is not a squeamish appeal once more for a higher code to be set.”
