CRICKET CHARACTERS CLIFFORD-Much improved with the bat and is now developing attacking strokes to go with a defence already quite sound. Active in the field with good hands. Led the side with en- thusiasm and has learnt much of the art of captaincy. SHAW-By no means sound with either bat or ball but had some very good days with both. Hits the ball hard but as yet lacks both the defence and the patience to be a consistent scorer. Very active in the field and had a successful season. DUKE-Possessed few strokes but was always looking for runs, running well between the wickets and frequently scoring when others had failed. Keen and active in the field and pos- sessed good hands. A useful member of the side. SHIPLEY I--Again performed creditably behind the stumps. Alert intelligent and possessed safe hands. Improved somewhat with the bat but did not use his reach sufficiently, and hit across the ball. COTTER I-Had a successful season as a hitter but was quite lack- ing in defence. A very useful cover point from which position his fast and accurate throwing resulted in many a run out. A fairly good catch. MYERS-Never came off with the bat and developed a suicidal spoon shot on the off. Developed into a useful bowler and was the side's first change. A good fielder both in the air and on the ground. COLQUHOUN-A promising player. Possessed strokes, if rather gentle ones, on the leg side and had a fair defence. Very keen, and when he develops the necessary confidence should do well. A bad judge of a run as yet. Is learning to bowl. MACKENZIE-Enjoyed a successful season with the ball and main- tained fair accuracy and length but without much sting. He can drive the over pitched ball but has no idea of back play. Slow in the field. DAVISON-Has the ability to bowl and will do so if he can develop a vital interest and is willing to work. Lethargic in the field. SHIRLEY II-Improved considerably all round. He is keen to learn and should bowl if he perseveres. Requires confidence and practice with the bat. Useful and extremely willing in the field. - READ-Nervous and lacking in confidence as yet, but he has cricket in him and will yet do very well with the bat. A poor judge of a run. Very fair in the field. 20

Scuoor vs. BRENTwoon CoLLEc.:E The return match against Brentwood was played at home and won by the School by 16 runs. The School fared badly with the bat, Clifford being the only one to reach double figures but Brentwood found the bowling of Mackenzie, who took 5 for 8, too much for them. The School fielding was keen, Cotter and Shipley claiming their usual victims on the at- tempted runs to cover. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL Clifford, ct. Hett, b. Drost ...... 12 ' 3 Myers, b.
