Frederick Crowder (8 October 1845 – 27 March 1938) was an English first-class cricketer and tennis player.

Cricket career

The son of George Augustus Crowder, he was born at Marylebone in October 1845. He was educated at Rugby School,[1] before going up to Brasenose College, Oxford. Crowder was a student of the Inner Temple, though it is uncertain whether he was ever called to the bar.[2] While studying at Oxford, he did not play first-class cricket for Oxford University. Instead, his debut in first-class cricket came in 1873 for the Gentlemen of England against Oxford University at Oxford. The following year he made two further first-class appearances, playing one match each for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Oxford University, and for the Gentlemen of England against Cambridge University at Fenner's.[3]

Tennis career

In addition to playing cricket, Crowder was also a notable tennis player.[4] He took part in the 1880 Wimbledon Championship,[5] where he received a walkover to the second round following the withdrawal of William Llewellyn Hacon.[6] He was defeated in straight sets by F. Durant in the second round.[7] He died at Oxford in March 1938.
