PET THEORIES PROVED

DRAWING STUMPS TIME MAKES

CRICKET FARCICAL

(By R. ABBIT)

There was a very good game between the Army and the Club on Saturday last and it illus- trated three of my pet theories: one, that if you! want to win, and would just as soon lose as draw, then put the other fellow in to bat: another you you have cannot afford to go on batting when got 175 on the board unless your aim is not to run the slightest chance of defeat, rather than to win the game; and finally that the idea of playing until 5.45 p.m. in December is turning the closing stages of the game into a farce.
