GOOD FINISH BY
CAMBRIDGE
Richmond 8 pts,
Cambridge Univ. 14
The game between Richmond and Cambridge University, trans- ferred to the Athletic Ground from Cambridge, made for an interest- ing context.
The University won by a goal and three tries to a goal and a penalty goal, and when they were really going in the second half their solid work in the scrummages and their pace, handling, and made thrust generally outside them clearly the better combina- tion
41
P. Sherrard, on the wing, instead of at half-back, and R. B. Bruce Lockhart, at stand-off half, were their outstanding players in the game and in all their scoring efforts Bruce Lockhart figured largely.
Richmond had the better of the struggle at forward for a long time, after an early try by Paul for Cam- bridge. They were well served outside, K Wreford and A. F. Dawkins being enterprising cen- tres, and A. La Warr making numerous efforts to get through.
The university defence under severe pressure at times, was al- ways good, with K. I. Geddes at his best. It was Richmond's first half, but with a try by H. K. Lucas which C. A. C. de Bounville con- verted, and a penalty goal kicked by that player, they had to be con- tent with the lead by eight points to three at half-time.
Afterwards the Cambridge) for- wards, with C. I Newton- Thomp- son, I E. Grose, and A. Fowler prominent, did excellent work to- gether, and the speed and thrust of Sherrard and the excellence of Bruce Lockhart, well backed up by the rest of his side, won the match convincingly. Sherrard crossed for each of the three tries in the second half and Geddes converted the last of them.
