of
the day, however, came from an- other quarter.
Nomanbhoy, playing for the University against tho Navy at King's Park, captured six
wickets for only ten runs. It was a remarkable feat, and has not been surpassed in senior League cricket for along tline. Possessed of a low ne- tlon, Nomanbhoy needs careful watch- ing on his day, but has not come off recently. He was relegated to tho
second string a few weeks ago, but I am glad the University skipper has teen fit to reinstate him.
DUE chiefly to Nomanblwy's effort, the Navy were dismissed for only 20 runs. With no statistics before ne, I cannot say whether this is a record in senior League cricket, bat I know there has not been a lower jcore for some grata. Vaca was very weak, however, several mem→ bers making their inital appearances In local Lengua matches, Lou Unuet-i graduates won by ten wickets, thus registering their second auccessive victory.
