ANNUAL UNIVERSITY CRICKET MATCH COMMENCED
Oxford Will Win Thinks R. Abbit
DARK BLUES HAVE ADVANTAGE
Probable Selections For Cambridge Team
(By R. Abbit)
Yesterday at Lord's the ninety-seventh match be- tween Oxford, and Cambridge was due to begin. The past three encounters have been drawn, but, given good| weather, I fully expect the game to end and that the end will be a victory for Oxford. I think the game will be finished owing to the condition of the Lord's wicket

(By "Sagax")
For the third time in succession, C. G. Silva, the Club de Recreio skip, has had a close call in the Open Lawn Bowls Championship. Yesterday he met A. R. Dallah, of the Indian R. C. in the Open Singles and only won by 21 shots to 17 against an opponent who, at different stages of the game, revealed brilliant form and showed that he was fully capable of springing a sur- prise.
