Fairbairn joined Crossfield, and the two did just what they liked with the bowling.

As the score shot up from fifty to sixty and from sixty to seventy, the school became perfectly hoarse with cheering.

Even most of the partisans of Parrett's, sorely as the match was going against them, could not help joining in the applause now that the prospect of the school winning by seven wickets had become a probability.
Up went the score--another three for Fairbairn--another two for Crossfield--seventy-five--then next moment a terrific cheer greeted a four by Fairbairn, which brought the numbers equal; and before the figures were well registered another drive settled the question, and Willoughby had beaten Rockshire by seven wickets!.
