Cricket 1887

^ 1 CRI CKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF : THE GAME. 119 Cricket at (SMcrrb. THE SENIORS’ MATCH. The cricket of the Oxford University Club was opened on Thursday last, whentwo elevens of Seniors, captained respectively by Messrs. F. T. Higgins and P. Coles, were pitted against each other. The former’s side were first at the wickets and were credited with the respectable total of 158, to which Mr. Higgins was the chief contributor with 36. Rain prevented any play on Friday, and on the fol­ lowing day Mr. Coles’s eleven, who had on Thursday night scored 52for four wickets, com­ pleted their innings for 175, or 17 runs in ad­ vance of their opponents. Mr. Philipson, who showed such good cricket for Eton in 1885, got his 44 in capital style, and Mr. Nepean, who was in the Sherborne eleven of 1885, carried out his bat for a thoroughly well played 53. When they went in a second time Mr. Higgins’ side were seen to great disadvantage against the bowling of Messrs. Forster, Wreford- Brown and Debenham, and Prince Christian Victor, Messrs. Coplestone who got runs in both innings, Castens, and Watson alone reached double figures. Mr. Forster, the Old Etonian, who has represented Hampshire several times during the last two seasons, bowled with great success for Mr. Coles’ side. In the match he was credited with eight wickets at a cost of sixty-eight runs. Mr. Lester, an old Shir- burnian, was the most effective bowler in the other eleven. He took fourwick«ts for 26runs, M r . H ig g in s ’ s S id e . F irst Innings. S econ d Innings. A. K . W atson , c F ow ler, b D ebenh am .....................23b F orster ...................10 J.

The annual trial of Freshmen ended yester­ day, after three days of interesting cricket, in a draw. The chief honours fell to Mr. Gresson, of last year’s Winchester Eleven. His perfor­ mance was an exceptionally good one. He only had one life (at the wicket) in the first innings, and altogether his play was of the most promising character. In addition he took seven wickets in the first innings of Mr. Key’s side at a cost of 84 runs. Mr. Hill hit very well each time, and on the other side Mr. Baker got forty-two in fairly good style. Mr. Key hit in his very best form at the closo of the first innings of his side. Going in last in fifty minutes he scored 81*.including a six and twelve fours, out of 109. The most suc- cessfuTLowler was Mr. Moss (fast round), who showed capital all-round cricket for Radley last year. He got eight of the ten wickets in first innings of Mr. Brain’s side. M r .
