THE BRENTONIAN CRICKET CHARACTERS B. SCOTT (Captain): A stylish bat and a good field. He captained the side well and soon learnt to get the best out of the team. B. H. B. ATKINS: A useful and much improved opening bat who played some fine innings. Quick to see an opening in the field and to place a shot especially on the off. A slow change bowler and a safe point. T. J. B. KERBEY: His wicket-keeping did not come off as well as had been hoped although he played well at times. A useful bat who could score quite easily on leg balls but this he must not try to overdo as one is too liable to be out l.b.w. B. LEY: When placed lower in the batting order he gained more confidence in himself and played some good innings towards the end of the season. A spin opening bowler who bowled well throughout the season. A fair field. P. B. MACKENZIE ROSS: A medium pace opening bowler who took several overs to get settled. A tail batsman who had some lucky innings. A fair field but a poor judge of a run. Was a great help to the captain in his work on the field and the gear. F. G. McMAHON: Has come on quite well this season. A useful medium pace change bowler who has increased his control and learned to vary his pace. A good field and a powerful hitter. G. C. d ' EASUM: His batting has improved but he must learn not to to take chances. A very safe field. R. A. DUNLOP: Has come on rather well in his batting but must learn to overcome his tenseness. A fair field. R. G. LEWIS: He has tried hard throughout the season and has improved considerably in batting. A very fair field. W. N. DUNLOP: Got on to the team because of his keeness and stayed on. A useful slow bowler and a fair bat. R. L. ALEXANDER: Has the makings of a fair bat but he must get over the habit of crouching over his wicket. R. M. T. BUTLER: A stylish bat with some good scoring shots. Did not come off as well as he could. A poor field. Also played: D. M. O ' Halloran, D. L. Stone, T. R. Rixon. (Colours). [Page Twenty-One]

THE BRENT ONIAN BRENTWOOD COLLEGE vs. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL The match was played on the home ground on May 23rd. The pitch was in fairly bad shape as the motor mower had blown up a few days previously, consequently the grass around the boundaries was quite long. Brentwood lost the toss and batted first. Beckton and Morant bowled very well for the visiting team. Mackenzie Ross bowled well for Brentwood, taking 4 wickets for 9 runs. The fielding was noticeably poor on both sides.
