N E W M A N "Casting aball at three straight sticks, And defending the same with a fourth." THAT is all Rudyard Kipling saw in cricket, and his opinion is probably shared by many who have never experienced the joys <strong>of</strong> the game. International cricketers, who are forced to play day after day, and week after week, sooner or later acquire a similarly prosaic outlook. But Intercollegiate cricket, played in the "fine, careless rapture" <strong>of</strong> first term, seems to provide the aurea mediocritas, and it is especially pleasant when accompanied by the sweet fruits <strong>of</strong> victory. Our success in the final against Ormond gave us our tenth championship in twelve Ley won the toss, and chose to bat on a perfect wicket, Billings and Gooden opening the innings to the bowling <strong>of</strong> Witts and Philpott. Witts bowled well, and, swinging the new ball dangerously into the breeze, soon dismissed Gooden lbw, and bowled McLennan. Westmore now joined Billings. When the shine had worn <strong>of</strong>f the ball, the attack became fairly innocuous, and the batsmen gradually took command. Billings was batting aggressively, and ran quickly to 49, before treading on his wicket. At lunch the score was three for 106- Westmore 34, Ley 6. On resumption, the score mounted steadily, but when Ley appeared set, he was unfortunately run out, and E. Ryan, who came next, was caught in slips soon afterwards. When the new ball was called for at 200, Witts had Westmore, Batros, and Peters caught in quick succession, but Pierce was reliable in the crisis. The lastwicket partnership, between Dowling and J. Ryan, contributed 40 runs, and, aided by 42 sundries, the total reached 280. With an hour remaining for play, Trinity's first innings commenced to the bowling <strong>of</strong> Dowling and Billings, and when Cricket <strong>Newman</strong> v. Trinity. March 22, 23, and 24. years, and our fifth in succession, so that although <strong>Newman</strong>'s sporting fame rests mainly on football, cricket comes not far behind. From the 1936 team we had lost two outstanding men in Jowett (captain) and Bateman, who headed last year's batting averages. Some talent amongst the freshmen, however, enabled their places fittingly to be filled. The team comprised: A. G. Ley (captain), D. Dowling, J. Billings, V. Batros, J. Gooden, H. McLennan, J. Peters, K. Pierce, E. A. Ryan, J. Ryan, and G. Westmore. In the final game, Peters, unfit to play, was replaced by R. Godby. play stopped at 5.30 the score stood at one wicket for 32. Next morning, Dowling and Billings were immediately on the spot, and between them took four wickets for ten runs in a short time. They continued to bowl unchanged until the back <strong>of</strong> Trinity's resistance was broken. Leach batted pluckily towards the end but without support, and Trinity was dismissed before lunch for the meagre total <strong>of</strong> 156. <strong>Newman</strong>'s openers, Billings and Westmore, were together at lunch, but soon after the resumption Philpott dismissed both Billings and Gooden with good balls. Ley also failed to get a start, being smartly stumped. Westmore was now joined by E. Ryan, and the threatened collapse was averted. Ryan was in breezy form, scoring all round the wicket, particularly with powerful hooks and sparkling cover-drives, and Westmore, taking heed, shed some <strong>of</strong> his caution. Westmore continued steadily after tea, and had scored 121 not out at stumps. Meanwhile, his partners were providing the fireworks. Ryan appeared certain to reach the century, when he was run out at 83. The next batsman was Dowling, whose 23
