CIVIL SERVANTS'

Craigengower Collapse Against Kowloon: Fine Showing By University

(By "R. Abbit")

AT HAPPY VALLEY on Saturday I saw most of the Civil Service vs. I.R.C, first eleven match, and was most agrocably surprised in the toam work and play of the Civil Servants.

Their ground fielding was excellent and their bowling adequate, while the new opening com- bination of Richardson and Fortescue seemed to work bottor, bringing Colledgo in at number five.

THE Indiana batted first on a pitch that was never casy and found McLellan ready to Lake advantage of it. He secured the three first wickets cheaply. A H. Madar held up an end, -though he appeared to be drop

After an over in which he started dropping them dirt, McLellan wise- ly went off for Whitley, and the chune proved successful en Y. el Arcuill was bowled, and two more wickels fell ut once. Meantine

CRICKET INVITATION

Late during the summer we re- ceived an invitation from the Shang- team hal Cricket Club, to send up this October, but the rapidly develop- ing war sliuntion, of course, made this Impracticable. We must await¦ unit the war is wou before the series can be taken up afresh.

The question of introducing Lawn Bowls, inentioned at the last annual meeting, was duly tackled and in the north-east corner of the ground has been laid out, what I am told, is a very good green. Judging by the numbers making use of this innova- tion during the summer evenings, it must be considered a success, and will, I am now satisfied, justify the money spent on it. I am glad that this addition to the Club's amenities has not Interfered with cricket and tennis.
