RAISES CAMBRIDGE CRICKET HOPES

Kaye Hits Oxford Bowlers for 55 in 20 Minutes: Gibb's Dogged Century

By Howard Marshall

London, July 5.

Cambridge's hopes of winning the University match were vio- lently increased late yesterday evening, when Kaye struck the Oxford bowling in all directions and most unexpectedly made 55

not out.

When the last man came in, the Cambridge total was 374, and Oxford felt that the situation might have been much more serious. Kaye then proceeded to hit a 6 and nine 4's in 20 minutes, to give Cambridge a lead of 108. As Oxford lost Walford before the close of play, they must be hoping profoundly that the wicket plays no early morning tricks.

P. A. Gibh cricbrated his selection | his side on Saturday. Ineldentally, as England's wicket-keeper by a fine, but I understand that he will be per- dogged innings of 122, scored in four feetly fit for the Test match. hours and 20 minutes. Gibb Injured,

YARDLEY'S CLASSIC INNINGS From the purist's point of view delight of instugs of 61 by Yardley wars thus

For Oxford let it be said that they reminded us happily of the high standard whieh University fielding is always expected to mainton.

Their bowling, with liftin encour- agement from the turf, was steady, and Kimpton kept wieket excellently.

WICKET STILL EASY

The wicket was plainly behaving itself when Gibb and Thompson con- timed the Cambridge innings to the bowling of Marcindue (Pavilion end) and Darwall-Salth. Thompson very soon impressed himself on us as a good and pleasant stroke-player, and one late-cut off Darwall-Smith was particularly debonair.

Cambridge naturally were special hurry, and Gibb quietly f spected some commendably steady bowling, Before long it became manifest that the batsmen's technique was core than equal to the situation, and we settled down to wait for temperamental error, which did not seem likely to occur

The wickel continued to be easy. Gibb and Thompson went academic- ally on their way, Macindoe polished the ball on every available portion of his anatomy, and at 51 Young be- gan to bow! leg-breaks from ht Nursery end, which gave us at least a change of rhythm.

Eight runs later Pershke, fast- medium, relieved Macindoe, and beat Gibb with a good ball which war- ranted an appeal for 1.b.w.

Such incidents were welcome dis tractions, but

nothing untoward happened, and gradually the small crowd started to disperse towards the luncheon tents. Cambridge, it appcured, were deeply and eternally entrenched, and Oxford supporters found little consolation in the lob- ster.

The total at the interval was 130, and Gibb and Thompson showed no signs of weakening afterwards. Gibb, indeed, began punching Dar- wall-Smith through the covers very forcibly, and it seemed that a major assault on the bowling was about to develop.

Both batsmen were playing with complete ronfidence, and the idea that a wicket might fall had lost all reality, when suddenly Thompson, In an apparently inattentive moment,

The "Brown Ribbon of Germany," one of the chief races of the German turf, was run on Sunday At the Muenchen-Riem race-course. Prizes aggregated 100,000 marks. Antonym, a French three-year-old, won casily by one and a half lengths beating Vatellor, also a French three-year- old, ridden by the famous jockey Semblat.

This is the second time Vatellor hos finished second in this roco, having achieved the same position last year. Third place was taken by last year's winner of the "Brown Ribboni," Blasius, a German horse ridden by Stritt.

Never before has the race had such an international representation. Al- together 16 horses came from other countries. England was represented for the first time by a three-year-old, Dardanelles, belonging to the Khan, and ridden by
