Cricket 1910

.224 CK. 1 CK.LT : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 23, 1910. UNIVERSITY CAPTAINS. T o be captain of a U niversity eleven requires qualities w hich would go som e way to make a successful general, although not perhaps to enable their possessor to grapple with the theory of the Absolute and the Infinite. H e m ust, inter alia, be a refined diplom atist, have a rapid and decisive judgm ent, the power of enforcing discipline, the courage to hold firm ly to his opinion, and the rarer courage to make changes when necessary, even if a Blue suffers accordingly. As a m atter of fact, a captain requires as m uch skill in com posing an eleven as a M inis­ ter in form ing h is- cabinet. F or it is not enough that the m en separately should be good. E ach must fit into his proper place. And then there are infinite difficulties in soothing small vanities and propitiating petty jealousies. As in the larger world, each m an chosen is apt to make one grumbler at his selection and half-a-dozen grumblers at their exclusion— but enough. A corres­ pondent asserts that “ It is sickening how this kind of thing goes on at O xford every year. W ith whatever high reputation a cricketer goes up to Oxford, if he fails in the Freshm en’s match or in the succeeding trial gam es no m ore is heard of him during the year, w hile m en imm easurably his inferiors get their B lues.” But has he closely follow ed O.U.C.C. procedure this season ? If so, I feel sure he will do Mr. Pawson the justice to say he has at least tried to give fair chance to every aspiring candidate for highest honours.— The Sunday Times. HAMPSTEAD v.
