Clarke did not bat. OXFORD v. CAMBRIDGE. As was generally expected the Cambridge eleven won the fifty-fifth Inter-University match, begun at Lord’s on Monday, easily. Hoping against hope, a few good judges were of opinion that Oxford would make a better show than was commonly expected, some san­ guine enough to believe that with the ad­ vantage of first innings they might even be successful. On publio form, though, there could be no real justification for such an esti­ mate. In the early trial matches neither side had shown any great excellence, in fact, as far as the home fixtures went both Universities had only displayed moderate form. Though they were decisively beaten by Surrey at the Oval, however, Cambridge by their victories at Brighton over Sussex, and at Lord’s over M.C.C. & G., had proved themselves to be on paper decidedly better than Oxford, who had lost every match except the last at Lord’s, which was drawn in their favour. Oxford were fortunate enough to win the toss, and Gresson and Forster commenced the batting. A bad commencement it was, too, as the first ball delivered Gresson returned gently to Woods. Rashleigh followed, but he was caught high up at point with one hand by Hale, and the great hope of the Oxonians fell having only got nine runs. Forster was well caught at the wicket for 14, and then Watson and Jardine who had done well in the trials dismissed each without scoring, another great blow to Oxford’s hopes. Philipson, the cap­ tain, and Lord George Scott helped to add eighteen for the seventh wioket, and the latter received some assistance from Bassett, who stayed while 37 were put on for the ninth wicket. The only batsman who played with any confidence, though, was Lord George Scott, who carried out his bat for 37 out of a total of 89 from the bat. Going in third wicket he was in an hour and twenty minutes for his runs, which were got without a mistake. Woods, the Cambridge fast bowler, was in his best form, taking six wickets for 42 runs. Going in against a small total of 105 just before 3.30 on Monday, Mordaunt and Foley for Cambridge scored fast from the bowling of Forster and Moss, and the first quarter of an hour realised 31 runs. Croome and Bassett were then tried, and the latter’s first ball bowled Foley. Thomas, who had been missed at extra mid-off when he had scored sixteen, was caught at point at 82, but Mordaunt found a more useful partner in Crawley, and the pair were together for an hour and a quarter, during which time the latter had made 54 out of 116 by an invaluable display of steady cricket. Mordaunt, who had just before reached his hundred, stayed till the total was 250, when he fell to a good catch at the wicket. His score of 127 was the result of confident and well-timed batting. He was in altogether just under three hours, and his innings was only marred by one chance to cover-point when he had made 92. Though the Cambridge score was at one time 250 with only _three batsmen out, at the close of the day eight wickets were down for 291, a total which was only augmented by nine runs on the following morning. Bassett was the most successful bowler. He took five Cambridge wickets for 65 runs. Oxford in a minority of 195 commenced their seoond innings just be­ fore half-past twelve on Tuesday, ana made even a worse show than on the previous day. At lupchepatime sis wickets were down for 60, and though Philipson by good hitting relieved the general monotony of the game a little, no one stayed with him, and by half-past three o’clock on the second day the match was over, Cambridge having won by an.innings and 305 runs. Woods was again the most successful bowler, and his bowling, indeed, had very much to do with the decisive victory of Cam­ bridge. McGregor on the second day kept wicket extremely well, and Philipson in the same position was at his best. The fielding on the whole, though, was hardly up to the best standard of Inter-University matches. We had almost omitted to add that the Hon. F. J. Thesiger, owing to family reasons, was at the last moment unable to play for Oxford. His place was taken by M. J. Dauglish, the Old Harrovian. Of the Cambridge eleven all but Foley and De Little had played before, while of Oxford, Gresson, Forster, Rashleigh, Lord George Scott, Croome, and Philipson were the only old choices. Cambridge has now won 27, Oxford 25, and two matches have been drawn. On the first day 9,184 paid for admission, on the second 6,482, making a total of 15,666 in the match. O x f o r d .
