School deserved their victory over the Cathedral School yesterday afternoon at the S.C.C, ground. Prevented from playing much cricket the last two seasons, during the local "war, the Public School must be given full credit for their victory. Batting first, the Public School were all out for 68, Burn and Fletcher again proving their worth in the Cathedral School attack by taking four and five wickets respectively, with good averages, To this relatively unassuming total, the Cathedral School could only reply with 38 runs. Kidby and Wolnizer were responsible for the damage. A second innings was played, but this had no bearing On the result which was a win for ihe Public School by 30 runs Kidby and Von Wunder opened for ihe Public School and the former was ¢lean bowled by Burn with the first ball of the match. Burn then dismissed Von Wunder with his fourth ball and matters did not improve until Wolnizer and Passikides became associated in a useful stand. This pair took the score fo 28 before the former was brilliantly taken by Fraser, just off the ground. This catch incidentally was the only bright spark in a decidedly poor exhibition of fielding by the Cathedral School. Wickets fell regularly until Turner prd Katemopoulos were featured im a last wicket stand eventually realising 25 runs, a commendable effort despite innumerable dropped catches. The innings thus finally ended with 68 runs.
