Civil Service Miss Their Chance
K.C.C. Create A Good Impression
By "Adrem"
AS THERE WERE NO CAMPS OR OTHER MILITARY EXERCISES THAT I AM AWARE OF, IT IS RATHER UNUSUAL THAT SO FEW CRIC- KET MATCHES WERE PLAYED OVER THE
WEEK-END.
In addition to the three Junior League games there were only three other fixtures. The Univer- sity match with IR.C., was, of course, called off early in the week owing to the fact that the Univer- sity cricket authorities were desirous of playing off the inter-faculty championship final in time for the presentation of trophies on Sunday.
