England v Australia - 1928 to 1933

1928	19.05 : Crystal Palace, London	England beat Australia
UNOFFICIAL	This comprised a series of match races : (Att : estimates vary from 6,000 to 20,000 !)	1 : Lionel Wills (Eng) beat Ron Johnson (Aus) 2 : Sig Schlam (Aus) beat Les Blakebrough (Eng) 3 : Roger Frogley (Eng) beat Charlie Datson (Aus) FINAL : Frogley, Wills, Schlam
This report on the match - the first meeting ever staged at Crystal Palace - is from The Motor Cycle May 24th, 1928 : MACHINES BEAT MEN AT THE "PALACE"
Nearly an hour before the start of the opening meeting on the new Crystal Palace speedway, a steady downpour of rain set in. In spite of this, spectators continued to pour into the grounds, and a little before zero hour there was not a stand seat to be had for love or money. Thousands had to stand out in the rain, and when it was announced that, owing to the conditions, the start would be postponed for half an hour, the crowd bore its discomforts with great patience. The Marconiphone loud-speakers refused to function, so announcements had to be made by megaphone ; apart from this, the organisation was excellent. Although a shade heavy owing to the deluge, the track was in very fine condition. Later on, the rain almost ceased, and the crowd was fully repaid for its long-suffering. The chief event was an international match race between three celebrated Australian and English riders. For the first heat Ron Johnston (345 Harley-Davidson), holder of the Claremont Speedway (West Australia) track record, and P L B Wills (499 Rudge-Whitworth), came to the line. Ron's "Peashooter" Harley had none too much power, and for four laps Wills was right on his tail, the Australian broadsiding wide out, near the fence, while the Englishman kept close in and displayed slightly superior speed on the straights. On lap 3 the Harley missed several beats, and gave Wills a chance to draw almost level, and on the last lap (fourth) there was more misfiring, and Wills, cutting inside on the bend, forged ahead, and managed to stay there, winning by about fifteen yards. Great enthusiasm greeted this English win. In Heat 2 Sig Schlam (345 Harley-Davidson), holder of the Australian 350cc Championship, and L Blakebrough (348 Cotton), the Greenford lap record holder, were paired. Unfortunately, on lap 2 Blakebrough's engine suddenly died, and Schlam continued alone, giving a wonderful exhibition of the real thing. On the last lap, however, the Harley's revs suddenly screamed up for a moment, and then silence - another mechanical death! The Australian leapt from his machine, made a lightning inspection, and then pushed for the remainder of the distance in order to finish the race. The third heat brought together Roger Frogley (499 Rudge-Whitworth), the idol of King's Oak visitors, and Charlie Datson (494 Douglas), holder of the world's 500cc half-mile dirt-track record. Datson had quite a lot of trouble getting his engine to function, but eventually the heat started. The Douglas, however, ran very badly, and at the end of two smoky laps Frogley was nearly a quarter of a lap ahead, with the crowd cheering frantically. Then suddenly the flat twin recovered itself, and Datson did a hair-raising lap, decreasing the distance between himself and his rival amazingly on the bends, although on the straight he had no advantage. Everyone was spellbound, as he hurled his Douglas round the bends, sending up a bow wave of wet cinders nearly twice as high as man and machine. But he just couldn't manage to regain all the ground lost him by his engine in the opening laps - Frogley beat him to the post by a bare five yards. Thus it came about that two Englishmen and one Australian lined up for the final, and after one false rolling start, caused by the fact that Schlam's "Peashooter" was running very erratically, the three got going and dead-heated for the first bend. Here, However, Schlam went into a broadside like lightning, and shot ahead. On the following straight, however, his engine suddenly cut out like a knife, and he had, perforce, to become a spectator.Thereafter, the race became rather dull, for, although Frogley and Wills were at the top of their form, their riding, as a spectacle, was not in the same street as that of the Australians. Less experienced riders on the more reliable machines ruled the day.

	* Originally scheduled for Sheffield, but changed to Belle Vue a week before the meeting, due to the limited crowd capacity at Owlerton.

The start of the very first Test Match was delayed for 45 minutes to enable the capacity crowd to negotiate the traffic jams and long turnstile queues around the stadium. The 6-a-side match over 9 heats resulted, as expected, in a comfortable victory for Australia, but the obvious public excitement over the Test meant that subsequent matches were increased to 8-a-side over 16 heats, which was to the detriment of the Australians, as they struggled to find two additional riders of Test match calibre. The track record was broken 3 times during the meeting.
A team of mainly Northern riders led England to a big win at Belle Vue in front of another capacity crowd, but the third match at Stamford Bridge was much closer, though Australia began with two 5-1's. The second of those came when England star Varey crashed, and lay, unmoving, on the track before being stretchered off. An electrical problem saw the stadium plunged into darkness for 35 minutes, before a mighty cheer accompanied the news that Varey had recovered consciousness ... soon, he staggered onto the track, and he returned to ride in heat 6 - which he won! With two heats remaining the score was 42-42. In heat 15, Phillips and Charles faced Aussies Huxley and Wilkinson, but Huxley fell, leaving England on a 5-1. But then Charles' tyre burst, Wilkinson fell, and Huxley had remounted to finish second behind Phillips. Eng 45 Aus 44. Heat 16 : Syd Jackson and Tiger Stevenson v Cyclone Billy Lamont and Max Grosskreutz. Jackson went from third to first in a lap and a half and, with Stevenson holding out a engine-troubled Lamont for third, England had won a fine match.
Huxley and Jack Chapman scored over half Australia's points in the second Belle Vue Test, but England had more strength in depth, though captain Varey barely arrived in time for the match having missed the boat from the Isle of Man where he had been practising for the Manx Grand Prix. At Wembley it rained all day and all evening, but another close match ensued, and close racing too, with Squib Burton beating Billy Lamont by a whisker after a superb 4-lap race. England did just enough to win the match, but the star of the series had been Vic Huxley, who dropped just 6 points in the five matches.

Speedway machines were far less reliable in 1931 than they are today, and Australia were afflicted with a plethora of engine problems at Crystal Palace in front of a record crowd, which resulted in a big England victory. Australia were expected to do well at the countries' largest track, the third-of-a-mile Leicester Super (where races were over 3 laps) but their victory margin was limited to a single point. It was in this match that England lost two of its' best riders for the rest of the season, captain Cyril "Squib" Burton and Wal Phillips. Burton's engine seized solid in heat 1, and Ron Johnson couldn't avoid him - Burton suffered a broken thigh. Two races later, Phillips crashed and a spoke almost penetrated right through his ankle. Australia needed a last heat 4-2 to win the match, which they got when Arthur led home Jack Parker and Arnie Hansen, after Eric Langton's engine failed early in the race.
England new boy Reg Bounds was the difference between the two teams at Wembley, before England took the series with a win at Belle Vue in front of a big crowd that included two train loads of fans from the London tracks. England were led by Jack Parker, who scored a maximum despite defying doctor's orders not to ride, and Ginger Lees. Each team lost a rider to injury during the match - Joe Abbott for England, and Ron Johnson for Australia. Parker was unbeaten again in the final match at Stamford Bridge, and broke the track record, but this time it was a last heat decider in which Australia needed a 5-1 to win the match, but when Dick Smythe was left at the start it was all over.

	* UK speedway's biggest-ever crowd at that time

Despite the failure of their captain, Colin Watson, to score in the opening Test at Stamford Bridge, England were inspired by the form of young Tom Farndon to victory over Australia, whose riders were unable to match the home heat-leaders. Not so at Wembley, where Australia won by the biggest margin so far, 24 points, in a match where the crowd became incensed by some very rough riding, several riders were disqualified (i.e excluded), the Australians got the best of some appalling rolling starts, and the steward (who would now be called a referee) left under a police escort! Heroes of the match were the unbeaten Dick Case / Billy Lamont pairing, with Lamont following his partner home in all their four rides together.
A capacity crowd at Belle Vue saw an even match, with England drawing ahead in the closing stages against an Australian side for whom Ron Johnson failed to arrive, Dicky Smythe was injured in a road accident on his journey north, and Vic Huxley became the first rider to score 100 points in Test matches.At the Crystal Palace, the scores were level going into the final (16th) heat, and when Varey led Johnson and Wilkinson after a lap, a draw looked a likely result. But then Johnson took the lead, and Varey's tyre burst (not uncommon in those days), so Australia took the win on a night of superb and aggressive racing, and several falls. The series was tied, and speedway's biggest-ever crowd (press reports varied from 50,000 to 80,000!) descended on Wembley for the decider, while millions more listened to live race commentary on BBC Radio, and Pathe News filmed the match. Star of the meeting was Australian Vic Huxley, with a superb maximum, but too many weak links meant that he finshed on the losing side against the England team led by Eric Langton and Ginger Lees.
