PAST V. PRESENT

OLD BOYS WIN IN LAST OVER The annual cricket match, Past v. Present, was played at the College on Saturday and resulted in a win for the Old Bo3 r s at a few seconds to time, the last wicket falling half-way through the last over. With two retiring, Old Boys got their innings through by the tea adjournment, after a bad start. College also made a very poor beginning but later wickets pulled the total up a little. The game was instituted in 1908 and was the first played by the Old Boys’ Club and also the first on the new College ground, and except for 3 or 4 years during the last war has been played ever since. Scores:
