HONE SCORES 167.

Oxford Gain Creditable Draw at Lord's.

FARNES LEADS LIGHT BLUES' ATTACK.

Cambridge Collapse,

London, Yesterday. The Varsity match was left drawn at Lord's to-day. Oxford took their overnight score of 136 for 4 to 368, B. W. Hone completing his century and going on to score 167, the top score of the match. K. H. Farnes took half the Dark Blues' wickets for 98 runs.

Possessing a lead of only 63 runs Cambridge were forced to bat again and a drawn game was inevitable. At the close of place the Light Blues, with a wicket in hand, were 232 runsi ahead.

Full scores as cabled by Reu- ter were as follow:-

Cambridge: 431 (D. R. Wilcox 157, A. T. Ratcliffe 124, A. R. Legard 4 for 40). 163 for 9. Oxford: 368 (B. W. Hone 167, K. H. Furnes 5 for 98). This was the ninety-fourth match of the series, Cambridge | having won 44. Oxford 37, and 13 having been left drawn. Last year Oxford gained their first victory for eight years when they won by 8 wickets.
