The game on the Club ground was cancelled on Friday afternoon by the University-so I am informed--who could not raise a side. They managed, however, to raise a second eleven for their League game with Civil Service second, though to my surprise they played a leading bowler and a leading batsman of their first eleven in this

It is difficult to say whether it was good bowling or unenterprising bat- ting that led to a miserable total of 179 runs being scared in four hours cricket. Possibly a bit of both.
Winch (10-2-23-6) certainly was very good and Minu (17.3-0-57-7) PATCHY KOWLOON BATTING
