THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,

Dark Blues Threaten. New Zealanders With Their First Defeat

Oxford, May_26.-The New Zealanders, playing Oxford Uni- versity here, faced their first defeat of the tour. After a day of ama- zing cricket on a pitch drying after the rain, the tourists finished with half their second innings wickets down for 45' and still requiring 165 runs to beat the University..

Twenty-two wickets felt today for 100 runs. New Zealand and Oxford In turn were out for the'r lowest scores of the season-Now Zealand 110 and Oxford 72—and rarely have so many brilliant catches been seen in a day's play. Rabone, the New Zealand all-rounder, held five nt slip.

Oxford were indebted to their medium fast bowlers Wrigley and Whit- combe and very alert fielders..

TENNIS LEAGUE

Of the remaining seven first COUNTY CRICKET Innings wickets, which the visitors lost for 43 runs in the opening 90 minutes, the 21-year- old Wrigley captured four for 15 and Whitcombe three for 34.

Wallace alone defied the Ox- ford altack, but during his stay of two and a half hours he was struck twice on the right thumb, which he broke on the 1937 tour, did not field and may not Oxford, 137-runs ahead on the first louings, falled in turn.

Largely due to his efforts Lancashire were forced to follow on, and at the close of play they needed 184 runs to save an Innings defeat with nine wickets remaining.

A two-hour stoppage through rain at Leeds prevented York- shire forcing home their advan- tage against Essex. A feature of the play here was two hours of superb batting by Brian Close, He followed his five for 68 in the Essex first innings by a dis- play of powerful driving and vigorous pulling, reminiscent of Maurice Leyland at his best.

NINE RAF PLAYERS HOLD

ARMY TO A

By "STICKS"

DRAW

At Sookunpoo yesterday evening, the RAF, fielding only nineTM players throughout, surprisingly held the Army to a one-all draw in a rather scrappy though interesting game. The Army fielded a team containing several new faces and were without the services of Brim- mer, Wilson and Hunt. The RAF'S sadly depleted team was due to the non-appearance of Grey their goalie and Cody their inside- left. Connolly, the RAF centre-forward, was making his last ap- pearance for his side prior to his departure to Australia.

The game commenced with the Army pressing hard, but frequently the forwards spoilt good opportunities due to their inability to adapt themselves, and conform to the "offside" ruling which the RAF defence cleverly exploit- ed.

The defenders of both teams were the outstanding players on the field, particularly Doyle, the RAF right-back, who without a doubt put up his best performance of the season. Tireless throughout, he time and time again saved his side, for, playing without a goalie, the RAF backs were called upon to give of their best, knowing that an undefended goal lay behind them.
