Thus the Captain has a pretty fair advance knowledge of his material. His great difficulty is to select the their right men, who have found form, possess the "Lord's" tempera. ment, and at the same time will build ip info a well balanced team.

Out of all the dozens of good erleketers, the Captain can only select ten men besides himself. It is a big Job. There were, at the beginning of the 1033 senson, eight old Blues. Add to these twenty-two from Fresher's match, and twenty-two from the Selnors'. That makes fifty- two players, apart from Inter dik- coveries, from which an eleven must be selected1 For Oxford, twenty-alx men were tried: for Cambridge, twenly! Who would be a Varsity captain?
