London, July 18 The University watch was left drawn at Lord's yesterday, Oxford in their second innings being only 34 runs ahead with six of their wickets down,

Such is the bare statistical record of a game which by rain had been rande almost into a two-day match, but no words can express the thrills which were felt at a quarter-past 5 yesterday after- noon when six Oxford wickets were down for 32 runs, 13 runs still be-1. hind Cambridge, and play possible until 7 'clock.

Cambridge, may be, had not forced the phee in the morning, but they flung their full fury at Oxford in the late afternoon, and if those who habitually come from the deep ends of the British Isles b watch a game which they hold Dearly can ask to see braver batting that that of V. G. J. Jenkins and F.-G. H. Chalk, they must wait may a long year. H. G. Owen- Smith apparently the last hope of a struggling Oxford side, was out: Oxford, it reemed, were clearly henten, either in an innings or so soon as any pair of Cambridge buts- men knocked off is few runs; but at that moment K.

manner proper to the occasion, but still the game looked stale until Jahangir Khan swept the ball to leg for 4. This he did continually, and in a moment the whole atmosphere of the match had altered. It mattered little what the last two Cambridge batamen did, for already they had a lead of 45 runs, and when Oxford went in at 10 minutes past 4 there was that faint suggestion of a good finish to the match.

BOWLEY AND LANGRIDGE

IN BIG PARTNERSHIP

THIRD BIGGEST IN ALL TIME

London, August 6 The feature of the week-end cricket programme which com- menced on Saturday, was the re- markable first-wicket partnership between James Langridge and Ted Bowley (Sussex) in their match against Middlesex.

"Treating all bowling that was sent down to them with complete in difference, these two batsmen put together 490-the third biggest first wicket partnership of all time-be- fore the partnership was broken.

Ted Bowley made 230 runs in 375 minutes, and during his stay at the wicket be hit twa sixes, one five and no less than twenty-three fours. His partner was at the crease for 360 minutes during which time he collected 195 runs of which 64 came from boundary shots.

But Essex, found the wicket just as easy on which to score, and pass-

ed the Middlesex total by ten runa.

Then came the debacle. The London team made a sorry show in their second innings, being sent back for, a mere 97. P. Smith was chiefly responsible taking 4 for 38.

Essex made light of their task, hitting off the runs for the loss of three wickets.

The Cambridge Innings.

in the morning it was hoped that Cambridge would hit the ball hard with the intent to make Oxford's total of 164 look meagre. Rung in fhet came slowly, but those who complained at the rate of scoring did not quite perhaps realize that the ball was coming very slowly on. to the bat. and if you go out to make uns you must be helped by the pace of the pitch. The Oxford captain began with R. G. Tindall and 'D, C. H. Townsend, and the Cambridge batamen in such circum- stances must be granted a quarter of an hour to see how matters stood. A. W. Allen was robbed of four runs when H. G. Owen-Smith fell prone at cover-point to stop a beautifully timed drive, but A. 5. Lawrance was never, quite comfort- able to Tindall, nibbling on the off- side.

#

The Cambridge batting was good nough, but it matters little when one thinks of what was to come. Owen-Smith came on at the Nursery end at 10, and E A. Barlow, copy- ing the fancy of Cambridge, was put on at the other end to bowl round the wicket to short-legs. Never mind these short-legs, which have been a horror, for the game In the end was splendid. Allen wice hit Barlow to the leg, and in the next over drove him to the off for 4, but at 42 he was magnificent ly caught somewhere in the middle of the wicket. Lawrence WIS bowled by a leg-brenk, which per- haps he imagined would be n googly, and there followed a period daring which D. R. Wilcox could do nothing right. This happens to the very best of batsmen, had yes- terday assuredly was, not Wilcox's day as a bataman. Having batted, for three-quarters of an hour, he was leg-before-wicket to a ball to which he offered no stroke.

BO. Allen, who has usually been regarded as a short-armed hooker, played well out to the pitch of the ball, but yet with runs coming a Mshade faster than before, no one could have dreamed of a finish. At the luncheon interval the score stood at 81 for three wickets, and 28000 afterwards R. de W. K.

An interesting water polo match brought the night's aquatic pro gramme to a close. The prizes werd distributed by Mr. W. Logan, Fol- |lowing which dancing took place to music supplied by "Fred and his Pals."

AT THE T.M.C.A.

If the standard at the Y.M.C.A. was not as high as at the V.R.C. the spirit of keen and sportsman- like competition went a long way to make up for that. The large attendance at the bath was enter- tained to a fine exhibition of diving by Morrison, and the equally clever exhibition of "Helena Mite" (Mr. Selk).

The main items at the Y.M:C.A. sports were the team races between the Chinese and the Y." The home teains were beaten in both events, the ladies going down de cisively to the Chinese representa- tive who went about their task in a most business-like manner.

One of the surprises of the evening was the excellent effort of "Eric" Railton who won the 100 sards handicap. Lange who con- ceded two seconds to him found him

tough proposition, but Railton not only kept ahead of Lange but actually caught up Campbell to whom he had conceded a second.

The "New" Gray played the "Old" "Gang" at water polo and although there was not too high a standard, the match was thoroughly enjoyed both by the players and by the spectators.
