[Harold Arthur Arkwright. Right-arm medium bowler. Oxford cricketer] The Eton Eleven of 1891 had one of the best Public School Cricketers of the year. His all-round cricket was quite the feature of the Winchester match, for besides scoring 59 and 44 he took four Winchester wickets. Though unsuccessful in the Freshmen's match at Oxford, in 1893, he played two very useful innings for sixteen Freshmen against the Eleven a few days later, with, as the result, a trial in some of the University matches. Against the Australian Team his all-round cricket was particularly noticeable, but still he failed to get his blue either in that or the following year. Though singularly unsuccessful in the Inter-University match, his bowling throughout this summer has been of great use to Oxford, as shown by the fact that he got the largest number of wickets of any bowler. Photograph by Hills & Saunders, Oxford (1895). Antique photographic book plate, 35.0 x 22.0cm, 13.75 x 8.75 inches
