Fourth edition. At 159 pages it was shorter than the previous one, yet it extended the reporting from county and national sides to a colourful patchwork of lesser teams, listed on the title-page as 'Anomalies, Butterflies, Cambridge University, Civil Service, Free Foresters, Gravesend and Milton, Incogniti, I Zingari, Kensington Park, Longsight, Oxford University, Quidnuncs, Royal Artillery, Southgate and Upper Tooting.'
