Ormond put his shoulder out and, j completing the over with underhand ' deliveries, had Farrell caught behind j the wickets. Notes on the Play. (Special to the ** Star.") DUNEDIN, December 15. ! The well-varied College attack was : excellently handled by the College captain, Harpur. Ormond, a promoted second eleven player, was probably the fastest of the bunch and bowled fairly accurately, but his second wicket was obtained in unusual fashion. He hurt his shoulder and electetd to finish his over bowling underarm. The last ball Farrell played carelessly and was caught behind the wickets by Webb. Webb kept very well considering that he had an in--1 iured hand. Webb stumped two men this morning and caught one. For that matter, the College fielding was smart and keen throughout, and : though one or two chances were missed, catches were usually very quickly snapped up. Although he claimed only one wicket, Alexander was one of the most impressive of the College bowlers. Fie is a slow leg-break bowler, and was bringing one back from the off occasionally. Harpur, who also claimed a wicket, is a slow left-hand bowler and kept a good length. (Other cricket reports appear on page 11.)
