In the olavin" field of Moulton Grammar School, near Spalding, stand-,, a tree with the letters ''J.W.H.T.D. cut into the bark. This, says a writer in the "Morning Post," was tho_handiwork of the captain of the English eleven when he was a scholar at Moulton, and many of the boys regard the tree as the school's most valuable asset. When the news of England'-? defeat arrived ono little Douglas worshipper betook himself to this sacred in his disajroointment. Never for a moment did His faith-in his hero waver, but as he stood before the letters he poured forth the following lament: "Poor old Duggie! But it wasn't your fault. It was the toss those damned kangaroos kept, winning that lost us the ashes.''
