UNIVERSITY Hongkong Cricket Now More Dependent On Players From Schools
(By R. Abbit")
IN THESE DAYS there is a phraso going round which is used very frequently by proplo who are unfortunately old enough to romombor the last war. It is, "Isn't this a queer war?" It moans, I tako it, that after the provious exporionco wo naturally expocted something like what happened in 1914, and we'vory definitoly have not got it.
I set this down because I feel that the present cricket season is a very queer season, and, of course, the answer is that it is because of the war. In 1914, cricket just did not happen, so far as my recollection goes, until after Christmas, because the Gorman Far East feat was still in being and we were all standing to, and all games ware'off. } How soon they started I cannot quite remember but I think it was after the action at the Falkland Islands. But the 1914/1915 season hardly existed.
