CIVIL SERVANTS'
Craigengower Collapse Against Kowloon: Fine Showing By University
(By "R. Abbit")
AT HAPPY VALLEY on Saturday I saw. most of the Civil Service vs. I.R.C. first oleven match, and was most agreeably surprised in the team work and play of the Civil Servants.
Their ground fielding was excellent and thoir bowling adequate, while the new opening com- bination of Richardson and Fortescue seemed to
·work better, bringing Colledge in at number five,
THE Indians butted first on
a pitch that was never easy and found McLellan ready to take? advantage of it. He secured the three.first wickets cheaply. A. H. Madar held up an end, though he appeared to be drop- ped in the slips early on.
