WALLABY HALF DEAD
FRED WOODS PASSES' AWAY AT HIS WORK.
(Received 29th January, 2 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Fred Woods, the famous Wallaby scrum half, died at his work at Darling Harbour.
Fred Woods was probably the most successful half-back New South. Wales has produced. - He gained representative honours, against a New Zealand team in 1905, and visited this Dominion in the same year and again in 1913. He was vice-captain of the Australian team which toured England and Wales in 1908-09, of which Dr. Moran was captain. On that tour the Wallabies played 31 matches and won 25 V scoring 438 points for and only 146 against. In the first and third Tests of the Australians' tour in New Zealand in 1913 Wood was one of the outstanding players on the visiting side. His fine display behind the scrum' largely accounted for Australia's success by 16 points to 5 in the third Test, played at Christcliurch. ,New Zealand won the first Test, played at Wellington, and the second Test.
