NEW RHODES SCHOLAR.
Mcrvyn Austin, the University slow bowler, has received the congratulations of cricketers and other friends on his selection as the Victorian Rhodes Scholar for this year. Ho will leave for Oxford University early next year to pursue an academic course. During tile tea interval at the University ground on November 2 good wishes were extended to him by George Davies, the Essendon captain, and Yal Brown, the University leader, on behalf of their respective teams. Austin, a former Melbourne Grammar School boy, has had a distinguished scholastic career in Melbourne, and cricket has been his chief sport. Victorians will look forward to him figuring in the Oxford University eleven, with the hope that he will repeat some of the successes of Victorian predecessors in Phil Le Contour, Arnold Seitz, D. Campbell, J. N. Fraser and others.
