MADAR AND MINU WERE THE HEROES

CLUB'S BATTING COLLAPSE

E. L. GOSANO'S DANDY, INNINGS FOR UNIVERSITY

(By R. Abbit)

The game between the I.R.C. and the Club was a most exciting one and the former Club's win by two

wickets was, I am informed, thoroughly, well deserved, though it was in doubt up to the very last. I hope later to publish fuller accounts from eye-witnesses.

I confess that the result was a considerable surprise to me as I did not think the Club batting would break down sa completely-with one. exception.

The credit of this Iles very large- ly with Minu whose bowling figures were 20.45-52-5. Ile got to work

Poarce continued to piny excellent cricket--a good judge told me that it was the best innings he has played here for months-bat a timely switch to A. H. Madar produced a couple of quick wickets, though not until Pearce and Growder had taken more liberties with him than with the two cracks.

CRAIGENGOWER LOSE

The Craigengewer side went all out to win their gamo against the Navy and a sporting declaration failed to come off, but they deserve all: honour for having made it. I hope to receive later some account of this

game from those in a position to speak about it.

Sullico it at present to say that though E. Zimmern and Rapioy fall- ed to come off this time and Craigen gowor had a bad start, their middle batamen did them well, and they declared at 168 for eight wicketa. As uaual It was a gamble against Bran- well coming off and this time he did, as after Eartley and Davis had given the Navy an excellent start, the Navy skippor rattled up 60 undefeated and the game was won bungkus The game at Pokfulam between the Oivil Servico and the University was full of high scoring, and I don't think I have ever played in a game before in which nine halls were expended not all now ones of coUTRO.
