FAITH IN LORD BURGHLEY.
These are the main considera- tions that "Veritas" should have digested before attempting to pass on his remarks:
1. In declaring that "the C.R.C. took the case to the Executive Com- mittee of the L. T. A.", "Veritas" deliberately intimates that it was C.R.C, who first appealed to laws. i Such a statement lacks truth.

The second lunings of Cambridge began with some good bowling by Owen-Smith, who was turning the ball With four wickets down for 50 there seemed, for a moment, the bare possiblity of Cambridge being out for a total of 180, and a den perate effort by Oxford to force a win. Wilcox, who again played very well, watching the right on to the bat, and making some nlee off- drives, and hard hits off full pitches of Owen-Smith and Winlaw avorted such a possibility.
