Burns and A rnold put on 69 fo r the fourth w icket, though the latter m ade but 16.

SU RREY v. O X FO RD UN IVERSITY Played at the Oval on June 25, 26, and 27. R a r e F e a t b y H a y w a r d a n d H o b b s . Surrey won by six wickets. Several o f the regular Surrey players were rested fo r this m atch, but a capital gam e re­ sulted, the County w inning on the th ird a fter­ noon by six w ickets. G. N. Foster played his first m atch fo r O xford du ring the season and m ade his second appearance at the O val during the w eek. H ayw ard and H obbs m ade 105 fo r the first w icket of Surrey, the latter playin g a fa u lt­ less gam e fo r 54. H ayw ard took an hour and a- h a lf to m ake 67, offered one chance, and hit seven 4’s, the m ajority o f them on-drives. A t 185, when the third w icket fell, Spring w ent in and at once com m enced to hit. H e reached 52 out of 62 in 37 m inutes and m ade 100 out o f 127 in 70 m inutes. W ith D avis he pu t on 90 fo r the fifth w icket in three quarters of an hour, although the latter m ade only 22. In all, he m ade 135 out of 178 in 100 m inutes, drivin g very pow er­ fu lly and hitting a 6 (out o f the ground, off L ow e), a 5, and tw enty 4’s. H e gave no chance until he had m ade 111 , and tw o runs later he m ight again have been caught. I t was a rous­ in g display and m eritorious, although the bow l­ in g again st him w as not very strong. The last five w ickets went dow n fo r 65, and the innings, a fter lastin g 255 m inutes, close dfor 389. B ow ­ rin g w as bow led at 14, but Foster and Teesdale added 28 w ithout fu rth er loss by the end o f the day. On F riday both w ere sent back w ith 13 added—at 58—w hilst H urst w as bow led at 94. The seventh w icket fell at 116, and it was due solely to a liard-hit innings by R obinson that the total reached 173. H e m ade his 51 out o f 65 in 40 m inutes, driving hard on both sides o f the w icket and hitting eight 4’s. It was a poor total, considering that the w icket was perfect. Rushby cam e out with the best analysis, and Spring (m edium -paced) took a couple o f w ickets at reasonable cost. The U niversity gave an im ­ proved display when they follow ed-on 216 behind. Bruce, w ho opened the innings w ith Teesdale, played freely and, although the latter m ade only 6 , it w as not until 54. m ade in 40 m inutes, that the first w icket fell. B ruce drove w ell and m ade his 40 out of 66 in 55 m inutes. W righ t and Foster m ade 83 for the third w icket, but the latter w as fortunate, being m issed when 13 by Leveson-G ow er at m id-on off a skyer and when 42 by D avis in the s lip s ; he m ade his 59 out of 85 in an hour b y attractive cricket and hit eleven 4’s. B ow ring and H urst added 38 fo r the fifth w icket and the latter and R obinson 79 for the seventh in 35 m inutes— very quick scoring, but the bow ling was tired. H urst drove and pulled in fine form and hit nine 4’s du rin g the 70 m inutes he was in. A t 268 three w ickets fell, and at the end of the day the U niversity, w ith tw o w ickets in hand, w ere only 76 runs 011 . On the next m orning H atfeild and Low e put on 88 for the ninth w icket in 65 m inutes and the latter and G ilbert 49 for the last. H atfeild h it well and m ade his 51 in 65 m inutes, but L ow e was lucky, bein g m issed w hen 34, 35 and 41. G ilbert, 111 m aking a hard cut, sent the ball to Spring, w hose face w as rather severely dam aged as a result. The innings closed for 405, leaving Surrey 190 to w in. Again H ayw ard and H obbs started off w ith a three-figure partnership, the total reaching 118 in 90 m inutes before the form er was caught and bowled. H obbs, having helped to put on 50 m ore w ith D ucat, was caught at p o in t; he m ade his 102 out o f 168 in tw o hours, hit a 5 and sixteen 4’s (the m ajority of them off- drives), and offered only one chance— to slip w hen 5. D ucat left at 179 and G oatly five later, but the rem aining runs w ere hit off w ithout fu rth er loss, leaving Surrey successful by six w ick et 3 . Score and analysis :— S u r r e v .
