"In faet, if it had had anything to do with the r«suit we would have won. It has never been my privilege to associate with a team who pulled so well together. "I have heard many rumours, and they are all ridiculous. Naturally, there was a little disappointmen|> among the players omitted from the final selection, but they all took it splendidly." The rumours concerned are many.
