The first postwar Combined Schools XI on. Saturday put in a re- quest for stronger opposition than could be provided with a KCC XI that otherwise a mixed included Willie Davidson and Pat Dodge but was

First and Second XI affair. They haven't writton a letter to the Cricket League. They did it via the scoreboard."

The Schoolboys, aware of the importance of the occasion, put up a display that they had, probably, never dreamt themselves capable of. Against two of the steadiest wicket-takers of the season in the First Division they put up 138 runs- for four wickets, taking 50 runs of Willie Davidson for his two wickets and 24 off "Tinker" Lee without aparing him one. "Tinker" finished off bowling round the wicket, always an admission of defeat.

It was thought that the Selection Committee had already passed the experimental slage after the holding of the previous two trials, and that a Colony probable “A” team were to be given some practice yesterday by a probable Colony "B" XI.

Instead of that there was a wholesale reshuffling of players' in the second half, for tho mere reason that a had number of reserves been asked to be present and that they should there play. The result was a list- less game completely devoid of the zeal or determination that is usually seen even in
