LAST WICKET STAND 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.

YARDLEY'S CLASSIC INNINGS

fier points of the match are for- Rolter.

For Oxford let it be said that they reminded us truppily of the high standard which University fleiding is always expected to maintain.

Their bowling, with little encour- agement from the turf, was steady, und Kimpton kept wieket execliently.

There is no need to emphasise the fact that Yardley in very good player, and he immediately looked a

ass better than any previous buts- man in the match. This was hardly encouraging for Oxford, and Yard- ley was obviously determined to push the score along.

Gibb reached hls 100 with velement hook off Pershitte, and then Macindoe kindled a flicker of hope for Oxford by bowling

Cambridge naturally were in no special hurry, and Gibb quietly in- spected some commendably howling, Before long it become manifest that the batsmen's teclinique was more than equal to the situation. and we settled down to wait for a temperamental error, which did not seem likely to occur.
