FOURTH TEBlvI; It has heen a short term, Tjith the first and last weeks spoilt "by rain and trouble Tjith the pitch, le First XI has played six matches, losing the first two,drawing uiie Tjhird, and winning the last three.This is a poor record for a team that has "been almost unchanged for two years, nor is it im-- oved hythe fact hat the three victories were largelv due to le woric of one player, Henry. The "batsmen have unaccountablylost the scintillating form of last year, while the catching andfieldig has been almost too poor to "belrr/e. The bowlers - notably lutts - have worked hard, only to see catch after catch dropped at an average of over five a match. ' In a disappointing term the. real cheer comes from the ell- -ocmd form of Henry, the steady (out unluclcy) bowling of Coutts, batting forms of Jacobs, the od fielding and_catching of lyer, Reeves, Coutts and Good, and consistent brilliance of larrington behind the stumps, Henry's batting, in the second lialf of the term, both in rcnes and practices, was irresistible, and anything on the slow the boundary without mercy.
