A "drunk" wfio had seen the Springboks in action in one of the provincial matches entered a crowded' tramcar and was loud in his praises of their play and of the spectacular passing of Danie Craven in p&rticular. Being anxious to start a conversation, he selected as his victim a small, inoffensive man who was reading a newspaper.
