CRICKET CONTROL

s FIXTURES ALTERED : ' • ' • JtoNE-DAY SERIES ARRANGED ~. jr " SWELCOME TO NEW ZEALANDERS • . % § In view of the fact that only three remain for play prior to the • Christmas vacation, the suggestion was by the chairman. Mr. W. S-. Fee, at last evening's meeting of the inan"agement committee of the Auckland Cricket-' Association that a cne-day of games should be played next 'Saturday and a two-day series on December 11 and 18. 1 2!. The chairman stated that whilo he was ■ not in favour of too many one-day games being stajred, he had been asked by a number of supporters of the same when the association intended to hold n ono-day series. This 'seemed to indicate that there was a public .[demand/ for a series of one-day games and he thought that an effort should be made meet it. Mr. Fee also proposed that the opportunity should be taken on Saturday during the afternoon tea adjournment at Eden Park of extending an official welcome to the Auckland of the New Zealand team which returned recently. He said that the afternoon tea adjournment conld be lengthened slightly to permit of tho welcoming •ceremony.
