AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Tale of an Oxford undergraduate and all-round cricketing hero who becomes entangled with a Jewish money lender. He contrives to resist illegal claims for payment and the money-lender decides to take him before the court on the day Oxford is to play Cambridge at Lord's. As well as punishing the student by damaging his reputation he hopes to prevent Oxford winning the match and earn money from taking bets at good odds ... His schemes fail due to the Old Boy network on the local magistrate bench, and the schemes of a rival moneylender. He is barred from Oxford. Reference to changes in law, re: lending to minors. (PB)
