Biography on reverse reads: "H. J. Enthoven (Middlesex.) This old Harrovian, who was born on June 4th, 1903, accomplished the unparalleled feat of scoring 1904 and 129 in consecutive matches against Oxford, and next season, 1926, captained Cambridge. Enthoven, can concentrate on defence or attack the bowling as needed. He puts power into his strokes, his off-drives being specially attractive. When bowling, Enthoven tries to make the ball do something, and does not mind being hit. He scored a fine 139 for Middlesex against Lancashire at Lord's in 1927, and last season averaged 36.48 by consistently good cricket, besides fielding splendidly."
