ARMY'S PROSPECTS AGAINST

CRAIGENGOWER

(By R. Abbit)

Seldom have I known a more unpleasant day than last Tuesday, when the last of the Triangular Tourna- ment games was played. The weather in the morning was so inclement, that a start could not be made at eleven, and eventually it was decided to take an early tiffin, and start at 1.15 or so. Actually a start was made at half past one. The wicket was greasy on top and hard underneath, and the ball cut through quickly. It certain- ly did not favour the batsmen, but was not bad enough to excuse the complete collapse of the Navy.
