IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN, BUT THEIR CONDESCENDING AIRS GOT OUR "GOAT". THE AUSTRALIANS TRAINED SOLIDLY FOR A WHOLE YEAR AND REVERSED THE TABLES COMPLETELY. UNLIKE THE AUSSIES WHO ROSE FROM THE ASHES OF DEFEAT ... THE POMS "GAVE THE GAME AWAY". THIS 1943 ATHLETIC TEAM ARE: LEFT TO RIGHT: (SEATED), UNKNOWN, UNKNOWN, KEITH CAMPBELL (MANAGER), TIM WEST, SID ZARTMAN.
