He also had one game for a combined Oxford and Cambridge Universities team His debut, for Oxford against Gentlemen of England at The University Parks, saw him make no dismissals as a wicket-keeper, while his unbeaten 41 with the bat, although it was to remain his career best, was somewhat overshadowed by Bowring and Teesdale"s still-record (as of 2007) opening stand for Oxford of 338. Pawson was more successful in his second game, for Worcestershire against his university, when he stumped three Oxford players in the first innings.
Pawson played a number of times for Oxford during the following three seasons, picking up dismissals at a steady if unspectacular rate.
His final appearance was in the Varsity Match against Cambridge at Lord"s in July 1911.
