CRICKET

FINAL ROUND OPENING ; DRAW FOR SATURDAY The Cambridge Cricket Associa- 4 tion’s final round will open on Saturday, and the three series of matches will extend over three * weeks. The draw for Saturday is:. High School v. United Services, at the Square; City v. Leamington, at the High School. : High School will be playing their first match on the . Square since the final game of the first round played in November, but little difficulty should be encountered against United Services, who will not be at full strength. The previous two matches between these two teams have been excellent contests, and another interesting game, with the chances favouring School is expected. When City meet Leamington at the Square they will encounter solid opposition, but City have played excellent cricket, and after .their defeating High School last week, their , prospects of victory are bright, but the fight will be strenuous.
