Cowie Bowls Well: Takes Six Wickets for 50 MOLONEY IN F0RM (From th« Special Correspondent of the United Press Auociation With the Team.) (Received 20, 11.0 a.m.) OXFORD, May 19. The New Zealand teami is: — * Cowie, Roberts Vivian, Gallichan, Molonoy, Kerr, Oarson, Wallace, Donnelly, Tindill, Dunning. Page is suftering from a cold, Great bowling by Cowie enabled the New Zealauders to accomplish ( a very creditable performance, dismissing Oxford University on a plumb wicket in four hours. Cowie took one wicket for six in seven overs in the opening spell, rested and cama back' to. tako_ four Wickets for five in three overs, including three in one over. Bowling at top pace, he brought the ball back sharply, one pitching outside the off stump and hitting the top of the leg stump. Before lunch his figures were: 10 overs, 3 maidens, 11 runs, 5 wickets. The accuracy of Roberts and Gallichan kept the sooring down. Dunning was effective after lunch, when Moloney's high-tossed slows enticed another victim to a stumping doom. Tindill kept wickets ably, not allowing a bye until Oxford were past 200. The New Zealand fielding was alert, Carson taking a godd catch in the slips and Vivian another at mid-on. Kimpton, the Australian, played delightfully for an hour, hittingi 11 fours.

Singleton was also attractive. Dixon, the first man in and the last out, stone-walled for four hours. Although Moloney and KeiT added 50 for the second wicket, the New Zealand innings again wavered. Moloney is at present the only batsman showmg his true New Zealand form. Scores
