GLOUCESTER BEAT KENT IN EXCITING

GAME

CAMBRIDGE SCORE CREDITABLE WIN: OXFORD DRAW WITH TOURISTS

(THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY.]

London, May 13.

The mid-week cricket programme was favoured with good wen- ther with the result that some very bright cricket was keen. In fact so enterprising was the play that only one of the seven fist class matches was left drawn- that between Oxford University and the West Indians.

Sussex, inst year's runners-up, who promise big things again this year, swamped Northamptonshire at Hove, winning by the big mar gin of an innings and 94 runs. Lancashire and Essex also won com- fortably against Worcester and Warwickshire respectively,

Bome very exciting cricket was seen at Bristol when Gloucester beat Kent by the narrow margin of eight runs.

: Cambridge University covered themselves with glory when they beat last year's champions by 19 runs at Fonner's, while Middlesex beat Hampshire by two wickets,

Five batsmen credited themselves with three-figure scores while Cook of Sussex had bad luck in missing his century by only thres runs. The bowlers too, reaped a harvest of wickets, the most note- worthy individual efforts being given below:-

FIVE TEST CRICKETERS AMONG OLD BOYS

Among the meadows of Notting- hamshire is a little village school with a record that challenges any public school in the land.

"Very few elementary schools have a field to play in as we have. We are also tremendously fortunate in being on friendly terms with the Notts County Cricket Club. Thay have shown their appreciation of all the players we have helped, to produce by sending us last year four cricket balls, with which Lar- wood and Staples and the others. had actually taken wickets in county games. They are a great inspiration for the boys to play with.

"I get teams of grown-ups some times to play against the boys, and sometimes we go to Trent Bridge

to watch a county match."

All the boys at Kirkby Wood house School are fast bowlers this year. They know that one of the secrets of the skill of famous bow lers is to bowl at a piece of paper on the ground. When you can hit it twice out of three times from & distance of 2 yards you are begin ning to be a bowler.

They all have two ambitions-to play for Netts and to play for England.
