Y.M.C.A. AND 'VARSITY

In taking first strike against University ou No. 1 wicket at the Basin Eeserve, V.M.C.A. put up .a moderate score, and at i the end of the day's play they were left with little prospect of. success in this match. University, making their third successive appearance on the Basin Eeserve, repeated Jtheir meritorious performance in- the ,-two. previous matches, with A. ;M. Hollihgs.'o'hce again in the role of leading batsman. Hollings has struck great form with^ the bat this season, and by compiling another century, making three in succession in club matches, he appears to be on a record-breaking mission.' V.M.C.A. lost Westbrook to a lbw decision before he had scored, and nothing seemed to go really well for them afterwards, and the innings closed for 137. Hollings and Vietmeyer each claimed five wickets. Hollings and M'Gavin commenced 'Varsity's reply.
