LONDON, July 11

Bodyline bowling m?de its appearance ar Uords . fin the University match, Oxford v. Cambridge. Cambridge dismissed Oxford for 164. Khan took 4 wickets for 54. Rain then stopped play. Fames took the last three wickets, lie hit two batsmen on the shoulders,

a third on the arm. a 'fourth in the stomach. Be yorked Tindall after the batsman had been struck by the previous .ball and bowled Oldfield off his chin.

The appearance of' bodyline bowling in the University match at Lords, is greeted with general criticism.' The “Sketch’’ says: Wilcox, the Cambridge capß'in is entitled to argue that what is good fo. r England is equitably good for Cambridge, but the soundness of the contention is doubtful.”

The “Daily (Sketch” declares that the bodyline howling is much resented by the crowd and € x-cricketers. “The Times’ ’’ cricketing writer declares that the prolonged leg theory array of short-leg fieldsmen drove the spectators, who were expecting to glory In fun, nearly, mad. Gilligan, writing in the “Chrofl* iclo” , admits that Wilcox fulfilled the task of dismissing Oxford cheaplv, hut from the cricket standpoint, the ibatsrWen were handicapped. If «uch dull, dreary, deadly monotony spreads, the spectators will vanish.

A feature of the County cricket was Surrey collapsing sensationally against Oimcestor. The tot?,], forty-four, wots the lowest Surrey had made in thirty-five years. The wicket was difficult after week-end. rain. Hammond set the leg trap, and made tho ball come off the pitch at a great pace.
