Capt., H. W . C ave . C ave and A rnall were the on ly rem nan ts o f the R u g b y E lev en o f 1880, and from the resu lts o f the ea r lie r m atches the ch an ce s o f a w in aga inst Marlborough were a p p a r en t ly o n ly small. K empson , a g o od o ld R u g b y nam e , was at the head o f the b a t t in g averages, bu t , ex cep t those o f W alker and I nglis , the figu res are poor, and C ave and C ohen , whose v igorou s h it t in g w on the M a r lb o rou gh m a tch , had done v e ry litt le p rev iou s to that t im e . A rnall , the s low le ft-handed b ow le r , w h o proved so e ffective aga in st the M arlbnrians the p rev iou s yea r , did not tra in on as w as expected ; and it w ill be seen tha t there were as m a n y as n ine bow lers in th e team , though on ly one o f them , W alker to w it , was a p p a r en t ly o f a n y rea l pretensions . Taken all roun d , the E leven o f 1881 were c e r ta in ly in fe r io r to the u sua l s tanda rd o f Rugby elevens. BATT ING AVERAGE S . H . S. Walker -• p Y t UJJL E.
