revealed a marked improvement, the returns to

Over the years the UJ 3B team has established
as its first tradition, amply borne out by statistics,
that to win is not the primary object of playing
cricket. Long may this honourable tradition
flourish.
Mysteriously, however, there has been nurtured
a concomitant tradition that, lone among the
countless arts of mankind, cricket required no
technique; that, for example, orthodox stroke
play, good length bowling. backing up, and runcalling
based upon a clear conventioin are but
outworn snobberies of a by-gone day. May this
second U.l3B tradition and the delusions it has
fostered sufrer total extinction from the beginning
of next season.

Western Province Willows Cricket Tour
England - July, 1966
Having arranged a few successful local cricket
tours, I was approached once again to organise
yet another. After some consideration and with
the support of a few local Ist Division players, a
cricket tour to England was set in motion. Many
fund-raising events were organised and, with the
help of many business houses, private persons and
our manager, David Harvey, the tour was made
possible.
The Wil.lows played ten fixtures, winning three
and seven were drawn. Two of the drawn fixtures
were stopped by rain with the Willows well jn
command. Two other fixtures were completely
washed out. Fixtures were against County II and
minor counties, Considering that cricket was
combined with sight-seeing, the unbeaten record
was indeed good. Mike Lamb was in excellent
form, especially against Berkshire at Earley and
scored an excellent 13L He scored most runs on
tour, ending with an average of 31. Ken Heldsinger's
best effort was a delightful 78. Howard
Spiro, the last of the three Wynberg Old Boys.
proved the best 'keeper, and when needed to save
the side from defeat in our last fixture against
Middlesex, batted well for 34 not out.
The Willows were very well accepted, made
many friends both on and off the field, and much
experience was gained by all.
