THE UNIVERSITY MATCH

Triumph Fo Cambridge Captain

(Special Air Dial Servies)

London, July 18. It would, I think, have choked Cambridge went serenely on to them entirely had they known that victory in the University match twa runs later Mitchell-Innes at Lord's yesterday, and at four a'clock they had well and truly Walker was caught at the wicket would be low to Parker, and when

beaten Oxford by 195 runs.

Oxford have no excuses for the de feat. The wicket, as Kimpton proved when seven Oxford batsimen were out for 45 runs in the second Innings, was in no way to blame, Cambridge played like a winning team, and Oxford had an attack of the megrims, that is all. Such things happen at cricket.

This is the first time a finish has 'been reached since 1931, and we may with Justice remember it as Parker's match Not only did he lead Cambridge admirably but his fielding was brilliant, his bowling useful, and his Innings of 76 not out on Monday set. Cambridge heading for their ultimate triumph. Yesterday morning Cambridge were strongly entrenched, `but "the result was still open. When they were all out for 233. Oxford were left with 305 runs to "get in, 5 hours 4 minutes, by no means an im possible task. .

There was a considerable amount ci speculation about the chances, "but Jahangir Khan put a stop to that. He shot out the earlier Ox- ford batsmen. Farker had Mitchell Innes low, and only a courageous stand by Kimpton and Darwall- Smith made us wonder whether the Cambridge bowling was really as deadly as it appeared to be

This second Oxford collapse can- not be rationally explained. There are occasions when a creeping paralysis overtakes even the best of batsmen, and this was one of them. "A sorry business, anyway, and we can only congratulate Cambridge on the skill and resolution with which they despatched their un happy victims.
