COUNTY CRICKET POSSIBILITIES

Undergraduates' Good Show Against Indians At Sookunpoo

THE STATEMENT that it is hoped to run some modified form of County Cricket next season is one that will come as a pleasant surprise to most cricketers out here. Of course we recognise only too well that it is at present nothing more than a hope, and, I fear, a somewhat faint one. There will no doubt be plenty of good cricketers in England for everyone does not go to France.

about it, and that is it is sure to annoy the Nazis horribly-those of them who have heard of the game. A man knew who once lunched with Von Ribbentrop told me that he is com
