In the matches that began yesterday rain produced typical English wickets, and the scoros were much smaller than last week, although there were several good partnerships, mostly of the oldtimers. Yorkshire's dismissal of Cambridge University for a total of 30 was a . startling collapse. Robinson took eight wickets for 13 runs in 13 overs. Blundell, the Cambridge bowler, made an excellent impression. He made the ball swing either way, and had a good length. He took several Yorkshire wickets. His bowling was one of the features of the week.
