Thus—Australia met Woodbrook C. and G. in 1909, but are not doing so this year, so the 1905 result is not included. Australia has met University Past and Present teams, the North, the Gentlemen, the Players, and possibly other sides; but for the same reason these matches are omitted. Outside the United Kingdom the match results are as follows : Opponents Australia First played P.W. L. D. 1876-7 52 27 23 2 South Africans. First, played P.W. L.

Hut. they keep all the rest, including Bowman, the new captain, who played lor Lin­ colnshire in the holidays and is a free and stylish bat, and Knight, who showed fine all-round cricket last year and may do even better this. The school matches are with Nottingham H.S., King Edward’s, Birmingham, Trent College, and Repton 2nd X I. The M il l H il l prospects are quite rosy. Higham is again captain, and most of last season’s best men are still available— Aitken, whose swerving left-handers did fine execution ; Snell, a sound and muscular bat of whom big things are expected, a good bowler too ; Nicholson, a stylish batsman who should come on this year, and a useful medium to fast bowler ; Marler, who played an excellent innings against Leys last season, and should make many more runs this ; and Chivers, a steady if not very quirk wicket-keeper. It will thus be seen that the school lias practically its full bowling strength of 1911, and has only lost Hughes of its more successful batsmen. Mill Hill has matches with City of London, Higligate, Aldenliam, Leys, Epsom, and University College School, besides a game with the M.C.C., and several fixtures with good clubs. F r a m l in g h a m has lost its crack all-rounder, W. Ham, who headed the batting averages, took most wickets, fielded excellently and captained well in 1911. The new leader—probably Inskip, the oldest colour man left, but the election has not yet been made— will have no easy task in filling his shoes. The school is lucky, however, in retaining Inskip, a fast medium bowler of considerable possibilities, Bunbury, who is expected to do really good all-round work, Bridgnell, a batsman who with more attention to defence should make a lot of runs, and a very steady change bowler, Hobart, who lias style and ought to come on, LeMay, who possesses defence but at present few strokes, and Npedding, worth his place on the side if he never made a run, for be is a magnificent field, anywhere. Of the second eleven .1. (1. Bullen, E. (J. Joyce, and I*. -L Bennett- remain, and these nine should form the nucleus of quite a useful side. The school matches are home and home with Colchester and Woodbridge, and there are ten or a dozen other matches, including the O.B.’s, the Clergy of Suffolk, and Ipswich and East Suffolk. The school may count itself fortunate which retains, as U n iv e r s it y C o l l e g e S c h o o l does, the services of its crack all-rounder of the previous year. Aston and Sneath were the only old colours left th en ; and it was in no small measure due to the former’s all-round play that the school won fiYe of its fourteen matches, losing six, a very good record in the circumstances, but one that should be improved upon this year. Four old colours are left besides Aston— Reilly, a steady and con­ sistent bat, though a trifle lacking in strokes, Garrow, a fast medium bowler who should beware of trying to bowl too fast, Hopson, keen and promising, and Munro, who hit as hard as anyone on the side, and can bowl, though lie had little chance last year. Several useful second eleven men are also available. Bedford Modern, City of London, Leys, and King’s College School, Wimbledon, are the schools m e t; London Scottish, Hampstead, and Hamp­ stead Nomads are among the clubs encountered. C ranleigh finds itself looking forward to the 11)12 Iseason with hope considerably tempered by doubt. T o lose nine out of the eleven at one fell swoop is hard lines. Practically all the bowlers have gone ; but Armfelt (captain) and Short, the two colours left, were among the best three batsmen of 1911, and Back, who just failed to get his colours, showed some promise. The school matches are with Wliitgift, St. .John’s, Leatherhead, Hurstpierpoint, City of Ix>ndon, Christ’s Hospital, and Ardingly, besides Charterhouse 2nd X L and Wells Theological College, wit 1* some good club games, and the O.B.’s match, earlier in the season than at most schools, on May 27. The 2nd X I. have matches with the 2nd X I .’s of Ardingly, Christ’s Hospital, City of Ix>ndon, Hurstpierpoint, and Leatherhead. A r d in g l y , whence came George Brann, W. Newham, and W. A . Bettesworth, did very well indeed last year. Two or three matches were scratched in disappointing fashion ; but of the seven played by the boys’ eleven four were won, and only two lost, while the masters’ and boys’
