CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY COLLAPSE ON GOOD WICKET SUCCESS OF WARP (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, May 12. Not long was required to complete the rout of the Cambridge University batsmen when the cricket match against Australia was resumed today. : The last wicket fell before lunch, l and Australia won by an innings and i 425 runs. Gibb, who carried his bat • for 80 after opening the innings, and , Yardley were the only batsmen to pre- , sent any real resistance to the bowli ing of Ward (six for 64) and White. [ Cambridge made 120 and 163 and Australia 708 for five wickets, de- . clared. On the resumption of play the wicket . was still good, and some of the Aus- , tralians declared it the best they had . ever played on. Yardley was going along nicely when ' he missed a defensive stroke and was bowled by O'Reilly. Packe drove Ward ! for three successive 4's and was caught at long-off next ball. White, in his first over, bowled Mann, and the remaining wickets fell rapidly. Gibb, continuing to bat with discretion and skill, was unconquered. ; Studd was dismissed at deep squareleg by Badcock's catch and Kaye went to Bradman's first catch of the tour at mid-off. Banister was held by Brown 1 off White, and Ward finished off the tail. Details:— > CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. First innings 120 Second Innings.
