Comment:
after the match an official discovered that two of them (Premiership Pennant's) had disappeared. Inquiries showed that two men with suspicious bundles under their coats had been seen leaving the ground. As soon as this was known Todd and Wells ran to a car and began a search of the district. Some time later they saw two men some distance from the ground, and closer inspection revealed the bundles under their coats. Todd and Wells had -Just finished a hard game, but were not too tired to fight, and attempts by the men to keep their souvenirs ended after a sharp struggle. So the flags returned in triumph to Williamstown. - Argus 26-Aug-1946
