CRICKET.

HUTT v. UNIVERSITY.

University won the toss. The wicket and outfield were in o good order, consequently the students were exjpeetcd to make a good showing, as tte^ have a strong (batting side. The uncertainty of cricket however, was .clearly demonstrated as the visitOTS could only muster 128 runs. Their failure wa& ii. a great measure due to the inability of their batsmen to negotiate Warnes's '' slows " and Judd's " swingers.» ' The former got a lot of spin on the ball and was turning from the off, finishing up with^4 wickets for 52 off 15 overs, of which. 24 juns came off- this last two overs. Jhidd bowled' Very steadily and required watching all the time. His figures were 4 for 42 off 23 overs, Me-1 ! Girr rendered^ goodr assistance by xpaldsh- ! ing off the "tail enders". Maealltan was the highest scorer for University with 46,- He was miss«d in the. slips 'before he had scoredl Hutt also found runs hard id "get"; against steady ibowling and smart fielding; an hour and thTeequarter 's 'play realising 91 jmns only for the loss of three wickets of which total Ross contributed 47 not out; ; The detailed scores ax*e as follows:— R.

Gray 33, Brown 23, Green 10. :\ ■'-'■':'. -V NOTES. "■ ■'..v: -: The rate .of scoring, in the Senior 'game was very slow indeed —219 runs for four and a quarter 'hour's play, on a good wicket,'.,was rather.flattering to the bowlers. An aggressive policy would probably have resulted in many more runs, being scored. Macallain, .of University, showed -what could be done •by rattling up 46 in. quick succession.

Biggar and "Birch paid the penalty for nibbling at the off theory, both being caught in the slips. Boss let a lot of fit &ail past, btrt had an occasional nibble. He batted very soundly bu£ did not appear to relish Wilson '& slows. He will have to leirn to use his feet

more to this type o& bowling.

Lees gets the majority of his runs by stepping out to the slow bowlera. Some of the other.colts should try to emulate.him in this direction. "'. .

.-.]s. McKay batted very well for the Junior As. 'The first wicket partnership with McSherry produced 123. Phillips was again1 amongst tie runs, 'getting 30 in aggressive style.

In the Junior C match a third wicket partnership between It. Muir and Suckling, realised 176 runs. .

T. Langford had a good day for the

Third "A" team, being top scorer with 78 and taking 7 wickets for 24.

"Junior B" writes as follows:-— "Your paragraph Avit-it reference to a member of .the Junior B team practising for the "fire brfgade is not quite correct. The ..true position is that this gentleman has done nothing this year but run other men ohit in order that he himself may- be "not out" and thus preserve his average. Wihen the fire broke o\it ■this man saw, hischance and could not resist 'running out' the hose."
