CAPT. B. H. HOLLOWAY, Royal Sussex Regt., is the well-known Old Leysian and Cambridge double Blue. He might with very little luck have been a triple Blue, for he has played with success for Sussex. He received his Blue at Rugby football at half-back, and has represented Cambridge several times at lacrosse. For some years he has played for the Old Leysians, of which club he has been both captain and hon. sec., and for the Surrey fifteen as a stand-off half-back. On the outbreak of war he was appointed Second Lieutenant in the Royal Sussex Regt., and was very soon promoted to a Captaincy. His many friends will wish him the best of luck "across the water."

NOTES BY "RANGER,"

Information is, we regret, to hand this week that Lieut. John Howell has been killed in action. He was the younger son of the late Mr. Rex Howell, who was a very well-known member of the Surrey County Cricket Club. The elder son, Lieut. Miles Howell, the Oxford cricket and Association Blue, was wounded early in the summer, and is back home again this week wounded for the second time. John Howell was captain of Repton in 1914, and was for four years in the school XI., its crack bats man during his last two seasons. He was a better bats man than his brother, and was also an excellent Association football player. For him cricket and football honours at Oxford, where he was going last autumn, were merely a matter of health and immunity from injury. Thus cut short on the very threshold of his career —he cannot have been more than eighteen —the news of John Howell's death will be received in Surrey cricket circles with deep grief. A great career in the cricket field he was predestined to occupy, as he showed when the first time he met Barnes, the England and Staffs, bowler, he scored 44 for Surrey 2nd XI. (when barely seventeen years of age) in the Minor Counties Championship.

Details with regard to the death of Mr. Hunt have never been published. Place and date are unknown, but his friends have long given up hope that he is sill alive. Mr. Hunt was a very good all-round cricketer and so full of enthusiasm for the game that he was more valuable on a side than many players of greater natural gifts. He was a very plucky punishing bat, a useful change bowler - right hand fast - and a brilliant fieldsman wherever he was placed. He played his first match for Middlesex in 1902--a disastrous year for the county--making his first appearance in the Whit-Monday fixture against Somerset. After an interval of over 15 years one recalls his undisguised delight when on being tried as second change, he took a wicket with the first ball he bowled. In his second innings he hit up 60, but in his four subsequent matches for Middlesex in 1902 he did next to nothing with either bat or ball. In 1903, however, when Middlesex won the County Championship he proved his worth as a batsman, getting an average of 27 with 57 as his highest score. It cannot be said that during his connection with Middlesex he improved as a batsman on his early efforts, but he headed the bowling in 1908, taking thirteen wickets in five matches with an average of 19 runs a wicket. His highest innings in first-class cricket was 128 in the Gentlemen v. Players Match at the Oval in 1904--the very unsatisfactory match in which two changes were made in the Gentlemen's team after the first day.

Extract from Court of Inquiry:

Court of Inquiry. 22780/1918. Lieut. A.N.Thorne, 2/Lt. H. Watson and 2/Lt.M.J. Levine.

The cause of the acc was in our opinion due (whilst the pilots were on duty) to inexperience on the part of 2/Lt. Levine in that he failed to turn his machine to the right when the leader Lt.Thorne did so and that Lt.Thorne probably lost distance fron the formation in carrying out two succesive banks thereby causing the two machines to collide.
