PUTNEY (England), March 49, -
The dark blue of Oxford flashed first
past the final line of the annual Ok
ford Cambridge eight-oared boat race
on the Thames today. The winners
time was 20: SO for the four and 4 quar-
ter mile course on which the inter-
university races have been rowed for
seventy years.
The Cambridge crew appeared to
have the race at its mercy until the
last quarter mile and the finish was In
doubt until the last few strokes, when
Oxford, by desperate squirt, showed
the prov of her shell a quarter Of q
length in front of her light blue RI
walls. Cambridge was unable to stall
off the desperate rush of the heavier
and better conditioned Oxford oars
men.
Cambridge won the toss and chose
the Surrey side of the river, where the
water almost was without a ripple.
At the start Cambridge caught the
water first and maintaining stroke
of thirty-six to the minute jumped
half length in the lead in the first
half mile. The Oxford stroke was
kept at thirty-four for the first mile,
when Stroke Horsfall called for a
squirt that reduced the light blue lead
for a time.
Rounding Chiswick Mall, however,
Cambridge, having the shorter turn,
dropped her stroke to thirty-four and
put daylight between the stern of her
shell and the Oxford bow.
At Barnes Corner less than half a
mile from the finish, Stroke Horsfall
moved the Oxford stroke up to thirty
six, and, getting tremendous pace
on the boat Oxford wore down the
Cambridge lead foot by foot and with
a last final effort forced their prov in
front The light blues, who had been
compelled to carry two half-trafned
men in the boat because of the illness
of members of their crew, were IN
equal to the last squirt which would
have meant victory. The official times
of the race were: One mile. 4:12;
Hammersmith bridge, 7:40; Chiswick
Mall, 1921; Barnes bridge, 1921; nm
ish, 2O:53. s...:. ~. ....".

GOTHAM FALLING
FOR GRAPPLER
az RoRRT EpeREN.

NEW YORK-Wrestling may have
another chance in New York, IL the
example of the New York Athletic
Club Is 10 be followed. The other
night the club put on a big wrestling
show. the card including a number
of the most skillful wrestlers in the
country. The main event was between
Zybszko, the big Pole, who acknowI
edges that he weighs 240 pounds, and
Samson, coyly admitting that he bal
ances the scale at 265.
Zbyszko won a single fall during the
40 minutes they wrestled. The fall
came in about 80 minutes. and he was
unable to get another in the remain
ing eight. One of the interesting
events was bout between wrestlers
employing jiu jitsu methods. 1t was
as good as a tumbling match.
This wrestling show packed the
gymnasium with club members and
guests, drawing as great house as
any of the boxing tournaments. That
the bouts were being held under the
auspices of a club like the New York
Athletic Club seemed fair guarantee
that there would be real competition.
The crowd was well satisfied with the
experiment.
!. Having obtained this preliminary
grip on part of the New York public
the grapplers may possibly be able to
engage in large public match or two.
In that case the future of the sport
will depend entirely upon the wrest-
lers themselves.
New York is skeptical town, re-
garding wrestling. It has paid out too
many thousands of dollars to takers
in the past to warm UP quickly again.
A few really first class matches would
make wrestling draw well whenever
champions are put on.

Wells Was EASY
FOR GUNBOAT
Smith


NEW YORK, March 14.-Gunboat
Smith, the California heavyweight,
knocked out Bombardier Wells, heavy
weight champion of England, in the
second round of a scheduled ten-round
bout at Madison Square Garden here
tonight. A right on the point OF the
jaw was the blow that finally put the
British champion out after he had
weakened under punishment
Wells had all the better of the first
round. jabbing his left repeatedly to
Smiths face and cleverly blocking
Gunboat's attempt to counter. A hard
left hook, followed with a left and
right to the wind, puzzled Smith. He
made wild attempts to land, missing
several swings, while Wells got in
lefts and rights to the face and q
right uppercut on the neck. Smith
was wild throughout the round, only
succeeding in landing couple of lefts
on the face.
Wells came out of his corner for the
second round, smiling and confident.
but Smith rushed at him, landing
hard right in the stomach. Smith
rushed again, hooking his left to the
head and landing a right overland
swing to the Jaw.
Wells went down for a. count Of Eve
seconds and got up dazed. Smith was
right on top OF him, hooking left and
right, and with e left hook to the law
and right swing to the back OF the
head. sent Wells down again for q
count of nine. Wells struggled to his
feet, but was hardly able to raise HIS
hands in defense, while Smith crossed
his right full to the point Of the jaw,
sending Wells down and out for good.
Wells Out Ten Minutes.
While Wells was on the floor for a
count OF six. the bell rang. ending the
round, but he still lay helpless. he
had to be carried to his corner and 1t
was nearly ten minutes before he was
able to leave the ring and then he had
to be assisted.
The result was complete surprise,
because after the first round the ma
jority of the onIookers thought that
Wells would win easily. He outpoint-
ed and outboxed Smith SO decidedly
in the opening session that no one
thought the Californian had more than
lucky chance for victory.
But Smiths rushing tactics and
swift work with both hands in the
second round nonplussed the British
boxer and from the time OF the first
knock-down Wells was unable to put
up anything in the line Of defense.
The men weighed In at the ringslde
as follows: Wells. 1872; Smith, 1871
pounds.
