Cricketing tale of father and son, narrated through the conversation of a young lady and a foolish Captain in the stands. A player for the Oxford team against Cambridge plays under a false name because of his father's vow that neither he nor his son should ever play. The father is glimpsed by his son at the match, and the youth, in his fear, is bowled out. His father's anger is not at the falsehood, which he knew about all the time, but at the poor stroke. Reveals it was all a plan to make the youth love cricket. (PB)
