CRICKET

GOUKTRY PLAYERS MEET GAMES AT LOGAN PARK In the country week cricket match between Vincent and Southland on the University Oval, Logan Park, the former took first strike on an excellent wicket and under ideal playing conditions. At the luncheon adjournment Vincent had lost six wickets for 99 runs, F. Partridge, the not-out man, being responsible for nearly half the total. The bowling of Uttley and Purdue troubled the Vincent men. The morning details are as follows: VINCENT. First Innings. Mount b M‘Kenzie ... ... 2 Wishart b Uttley 15 M. Partridge b Purdue ... 2 F. Partridge not out .... 42 White b Purdue 8 Pierce Ibw b Purdue 9 M'lntosh b M'Kenzie 13 Extras ... ... 8 Total for six wickets 99 NORTH AND SOUTH OTAGO North Otago met South Otago on the No. 2 ground, the former, thanks to chanceless innings by Kinder (68 not out) and Houghton (45), compiling 196 for six at the luncheon adjournment. For South Otago Parker bowled exceptionally well, the first four wickets falling to him, three being clean bowled. Details: — NORTH OTAGO. First Innings.

These should provide two interesting games. On Saturday at Carisbrook a combined Country team will play a Town team. Otago will have its full strength on the field, and the combined country team should prove to bo a good all-round side. Play will commence each day at 10.30 a.m.
