Cricket 1913

158 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M ay 3, 1913. The Seniors’ Match at Cambridge. The Cambridge Freshmen’s Match. Played at F enn er’s on April 24, 25, and 26, for the most p art in distinctly uncricketlike weather. A s many as seven­ teen schools w ere represented in the tw o teams, captained by A. H. L a n g (Suffolk and Sussex) and B . P. Nevile (Lincolnshire). T h e p layers’ schools are given hereunder, but not their colleges, the latter being a m atter of very m inor interest to most readers. T h e b attin g on the first d ay w as of the steady order, the men w ho scored most runs — R aw son , K n ig h t, and Tudor— all ta k in g their time. On the Friday the not outs, Mulholland and C ross, carried their partnership for the eighth w icket of N evile’s side to 101. K n ig h t again made a considerable stay for L a n g ’s s id e ; but the innin gs of the day w as played by the old Harrovian him self, who hit up 83 (thirteen 4 ’s) in 55 m inutes. N evile’s side needed 271 for victory on Saturday, but never looked like gettin g the runs, and w en t under by 55 in the end. T h e best cricket w a s played by G osling, a Sutton V alence m an, who made his 60 in 85 m inutes and hit a 6 and six 4 ’s. H is captain and he added 78 for the seventh w icket, and besides these tw o Tudor and C ross showed form. P an k, a slow left-hander, bowled w ith considerable success. He did little w ith the ball while in the W ellin gton e'even ; but he must be som ething more than a useful bat, for last year he h it up 199 for the T rojan s v. South W ilts. M r . A . H .

T h e 22 Freshmen represented 22 schools, which m ust be som ething like a record for these matches. The first d a y ’s play w a s made noteworthy by a really fine innings of 84 (in 70 m inutes, w ith ten 4 ’s) by G . B . Davies, of whom E ssex have h ig h hopes. K . H . C . Woodroffe, who played for Hants again st the South Africans last year, bowled very well, as did J- W hite, the W ellin gborough crack, who has a Surrey qualification. T h e w icket w as 9low, which made D avies’s rate of scoring all the more remarkable, though it rendered some of the bow lin g easier to play. S aville’s side had a big lead on the d a y ’s play, and on T uesd ay the effects of hot sunshine on a damp pitch made it certain that runs would be few . Neither side reached 100, and S aville’s team won easily. D avies was again the outstanding perform er, his bow lin g (right medium) capturin g 5 for 19. W hite and Browne w ere chief scorers for their respective sides, and the latter showed good defence, if small enterprise, in his innings of 90 m inutes. M r . S . H. S a v il l e ’ s S id e . G. B.

The players of the last-named were principally from the Embassy and H.M.S. Imogene ."— From “ Cricket in Turkey ” in Ayres' Cricket Com­ panion. " The back stroke is, in the first place, essentially a defensive one, and no one who cannot play back can, by any stretch of the imagination, be said to have a good defence. . . . In playing the stroke the back leg should be moved a foot or two in the direction of the wicket, putting the foot just inside the line of the ball, so that in playing, for instance, a ball just outside the off- stump, the back leg will be moved right across the wicket and well covering the off-stump.” —-From " Hints and Suggestions for School Cricketgrs.”
