IMPORTANT CRICKET
MEET CRAIGENGOWER TO-MORROW
LAST WEEK'S DEFEAT. NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
UNIVERSITY MAKE START TO. THEIR PROGRAMME
(By R. Abbit)
First of all in these notes I will deal with to. morrow's games briefly. In the Senior League there are no less than three games. Of these the most important is that between the Indian Recreation Club and Craigen- gower. The Indians play on their own ground, and it is the old, old story. They want a win outright. If they get it they will have twelve points from four matches as against-the Hongkong Club's eight, and they will be in a commanding position with only three more games to go..
