University started badly, Wall’s first ball shattering Kingsley’s wicket. Aloore, who has a splendid school record, and the Nawab of Patoudi retrieved the position somewhat, 50 appearing after 50 minutes. Grimmett secured liis 40th wicket of the tour when lie got Aloore with the score at 72. Five‘wickets then fell for an addition of only 16 runs. Walker achieved two fine stumpings. Peebles alone of the others offered any resistance, and Grimmett ended the innings, which lasted 135 minutes. Ho bowled well throughout and finished with fine figures. Oxford followed on at 2.50 p.m., wanting 282 runs to avoid an innings’ defeat, but three valuable wickets were lost within an hour for 25 runs. Ford punished Hurwood and Grimmett, and with Alelville brought tlie total to 73. The latter was then dismissed by a brilliant catch in the slips. AVall had another success in the next over, and tlie fifth wicket fell at 80. Bradman, displacing Grimmett, tempted Garland-Wells to hit and bowled him in the same over. Then Hillwood fell to the most brilliant catch of the. tour, Richardson taking tlie hall almost on the ground with one hand, at deep mid-off. Peebles hit Bradman for six. AlcCabe ended the match by taking liis first wicket of the tour when he clean bowled Peebles. Scores': AUSTRALIA. First Innings 406 OXFORD. First Innings.
