FIRST DIVISION CRICKET CLUBS

Craigengower's New Blood

(By ADREM"}

One of the most fortuna.e Clubs in the first division this season is undoubtedly the Craigengower. Besides having most of last year's eleven available, they will re- ceive the assistance of práctically the back-bone of the 1934-35 icum, of that very fine nursery of cricket, the Diocesan Boys' School which has given to the Colony so many of its leading cricketers.

The University are in much the same position as last year, the C.S.C.C. are if anything stronger, whilst the H.K.C.C. will be weakened for some time by the absence of Owen Hughes, and Rickett's departure in November will not assist matters in any way. The Navy, at the moment, are an unknown quantity,
