' 1 ' CRICKET l9-48 With ive of last year's side available, prospects for the season were promising. However, although the summer term was rather longer than usual it was as busy as ever, and the number of cricket fixtures actually carried through was most disappointing. Bad weather delayed the opening, while a week end holiday and rain forced the cancellation of two matches. In all, five matches were played, three of which were won, one lost and one drawn. Four boys-Clifford, Cotter I, Duke and Shaw averaged over ten runs per innings with the bat, while Shaw and Mackenzie bore the brunt of the bowling. The fielding was quite keen without being brilliant, the out- standing feature being the very fast and accurate throwing from cover by Cotter I. Shipley I kept wicket adequately and his understanding with Cotter I resulted in many a run out. M. L. Clifford was elected captain and made a very prom- ising beginning. D. V. Shaw assisted him as vice-captain. Colours were awarded to Clifford and Shaw, and the official team for the season was as follows: M. L. Clidford, D. V. Shaw, A. C. Cotter, R. M. Duke, G. R. Shipley, J. W. Shipley, D. A. Davison. J. B. Colquhoun, J. G. Myers. H. L. B. Mackenzie, G. T. L. Read. The Clayton Cup was won by Duke's team but only after surviving competition of the keenest kind from the side cap- tained by Shipley I. The Colts played six games but were not successful in winning any of them. The standard of play in the lower school was not high. The Prize Bat presented by the University School Incogs to the best all round cricketer in the School was won by M. L. Clifford. 16
