Content description
Such a strong objection to a match between Eton and Harrow on their own grounds during term that he would prefer leaving the single match between Eton and Harrow at Lord's for the next year or two, with the understanding that no other school should take Winchester's place and that parents make sure their boys have a safe home in London. Impossible to prevent risk of irregularity on transit bewteen Eton and Harrow. The excitement would be at least as injurious than the presesnt system. London problems apply more to spectators than players. Boys should be warned that the match could be abolished if behaviour is bad.PLACE: Harrow
