After Blandford and Pacey had given the team a good start, University failed with the bat against Kilbirnie on the Kilbirnie ground. Bailey was associated ■with Pacey in a useful stand for 'the second wicket, but Griffiths then struck a bowling "piitch" arid the remainder of the team were routed. Blandford and Pacey batted splendidly, the former being the more enterprising, arid most of the runs early in the innings came off his bat. He hit seven fours in addition to a six off Griffiths. Pacey was at the wicket for about two hours, during which he gave a. very solid display. He started slowjy, scoring practically wholly in singles, but later laid the .wood on more heavily. Eight boundary sbote were included in his total. Griffiths was responsible for a fine bowling feat in taking seven ■wickets for 46 runs off 16 overs, 7 of •which ■were maidens. At one stage, he had taken none for 24. The other three wickets were captured by Crook, who had his first success of the season. He bowled eleven overs, two of which were scoreless. The Kijbirnie fieldsmen maintained a consistently high standard. The ground work was crisp and no chances were missed. Kilbirnie again started badly when it, came their turn to bat, and the ■ opening pair, Kerihaw and Hepburn, were both back in the pavilion With .only 21 runs on the board. Hepburn was run out as the result of uncertainty on the part of Christophersen and himself as to whether to go for a second run. Christophersen, who has had a bad run with the bat so far this season, retrieved matters to some extent in partnership with Bilby, and was then bowled by a ball from Williams, which failed to rise. Bilby and Crook carried on at a. brisk rate, the century being hoisted in 85 minutes after a slow start, but Harrison then disposed of both with successive balls. Jn sending down 16 overs, including sir maidens, against the wind without being

spelled, Harrison registered an exceptionally good performance. Details:— UNIVERSITY. First Innings.
