the value of attacking the stumps, can develop Into a dangerous bowler. Hagemann has always been accurate, but with the Improve ment in his bowling, his batting has suffered. Fielding has been very good, with few lapses, and when R. Hulett played for the 1st XI against Kingswood, he showed that the Colts fielding would not disgrace the 1st. The team s thanks are due to two of the ladies for providing delicious lunches for the Murphy's XI and the Kingswood matches! This welcome innovation made these two days even more enjoyable. 6th February vs. KOOKABURRA C.C. at Kearsney Draw XI. official match of the season. The school XI opposed a powerful team brought up by Mr. McLean and acquitted thems^elves well. Hulett struck form at once, and was well supported by Cross who batted confidently but slowly, and by Edwards, a new-comer tothe side. Hulett declared the Kearsney innings closed at 134 for 7 wickets, when he was rapidly approaching his century. The Kookaburra innings started strongly, but unfortunately, after 5 overs, and with an hour and a half left for play, play had to be abandoned because of heavy ram. ^ wickets declared (Hulett 71 *, Edwards 14) KOOKABURRA C. C.: 31 for I wicket(Soloman 19) 9th February vs. DURBAN HIGH SCHOOL at Durban Lost by SI runs Kearsney threw away all hope of winning this game by very poor batting, after they had dismissed High School for a fairly low score. The fielding through out the match was exceptionally good, and for Kearsney, Newlands and Cole bowled with venom. All chances offered by High School were taken and with the home team out for 11 1, Kearsney was in a position to force home the advantage their bowlers had gained. However, this was not to be, and Kearsney was soon struggling against a very accurate High School attack. Griffin was particularly hostile?and vvas well supported by Clouston and Davies. Only Lowe batted with any real confidence, alter Hulett had pulled a huge off-break on to his wicket when he looked set for a good score. Thereafter, Kearsney offered little resistance, and a well deserved victory went to High School, who fought back remarkably well after their earlier reverses. D.H.S.: III (Newlands 5 for 21, Cole 3 for II). KEARSNEY; 60 (Lowe 26). 16th February vs. HILTON COLLEGE at Kearsney Lost by I wicket The lastfew years have produced very exciting finishes tothe Hilton-Kearsney matches, and this one was no exception. Kearsney batted first, and failed to capitalise on the good batting by Robblns and Hagemann. Too many wickets were given away through poor shots, and Hulett's early dismissal seemed to knock the bottom out of the Kearsney innings. Hilton bowling was accurate, and the batting side had to earn their runs, but Kearsney should certainly have mademore than 100 all out. Hilton fared little better, and but for a very sound innings by Moon might well have been outfor a small score. Four Hilton wickets fell for 29 runs, but determined batting by Moon, Pike and Watson helped to retrieve the position for them. After the fourth wicket fell, inaccurate bowling, especially spin bowling,enabled Hilton to advance their tally to 100 for 9 wickets. 237
