Adelaide Seething With Excitement
WOODFUL FAVOURS AUSTRALIA’S CHANCES. FOURTH TEST TO-DAY. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. , Received Friday, 1.20 a.m. ADELAIDE, Jan. 28. The former Australian captain, W. M. Woodfull, writing to the Sun says: “Adelaide is seething with excitement and there is gleaming and brilliant sunshine for the first page of the fourth Test drama. The Australians have not been successful at Adelaide ever since Collins led his team to a stirring win years ago. “I believe Australia on this occasion are capable of defeating the Englishmen. I am swayed principally by the strength of our batsmen compared with England's, but from number eight onwards England’s array is stronger than ours. England’s bowlers are a little stronger than ours, but to offset this the Adelaide wicket can be most heartbreaking especially after the first day.” ENGLAND FAVOURED BY CHAPMAN. LONDON, Jan. 27. Mr. A. P. F. Chapman, writing in the Daily Mail, said: “Given equal luck, England should win at Adelaide, but if it loses I am afraid the chance of winning at Melbourne is slender. A recent cablegram expressed doubt as to whether Robins should be included in the Adelaide team, but I think it would be cricket suicide not to include him. ’ ’
