STRONG IN BATTING BUT LITTLE SHORT IN ATTACK
(By R. Abbit)
The Cambridge side this year will be captained by J. H. Human (Repton and Clare), who is a definite per- sonality in the game, The younger brother of a Blue, R. C. H. Human, of Repton and Emmanuel, he gained his Blue as a Fresher in 1932, and in that year and the next headed the Cambridge averages.
