NO OXFORD-CAMBRlDGER RACE
Famous Rowing Event Abandoned For

Famous Rowing Event Abandoned For
First Time Since 1855.
1t is officially announced that there
will be no university boat race this
year
The contest was hardly possible, for
all the leading Oarsmen at both Ok
ford and Cambridge have gone to the
front or are engaged with the officers
training corps.
Instituted at Henley in 1929, the boat
race has been held annually without a
break for sixty years. The last pre-
vious time it was abandoned was in
1866, at the time of the Crimean war.
AS soon, however, as the treaty of
Paris was signed the race was resumed
and it has been rowed on the Thames
every year since
When the present war started all
competitive sport ceased at oxford and
Cambridge, and like the boat races,
other intervarsity contests have been
abandoned.

BELLOWS FALLS, March >.
T. Webb Crowther, the best second
baseman Bellows Falls ever had. passed
through here last week on his way to
Burlington to begin work as coach of
the University of Vermont baseball
team. Crowther has been selling bonds
during the winter months for a New
York city realty company and reported
that business had been good, so good in
fact that he is doubtful whether he
will ever play baseball again. Crowther
said that with things breaking as they
have this winter he would lose money
by sticking TO the game, as he can
make more by selling bonds. When
asked if he thought he would be of the
same opinion when the grass began to
sprout he rolled his eyes and said moth
ing.
Crowther said that he had not been
worrying about not getting the Univer-
sity of Vermont Job. During the time
Mccarthy of Boston was getting all the
publicity in regard to taking the job
he had the signed contract for the pc
sition in his possession.

ABE BERGER GETS
LEASE ON GROUNDS
Keene to Have Twin State Baseball
at Old Stand - League Meeting
March at Bellows Falls.
Especial to The Reformer.)


KEENE, Y. H., March ,.
Abe Berger, who is to have charge
of the Keene team in the Twin State
league the coming season, has secured
the lease of the grounds and will at
tend the meeting of the league direc-
tors, which will be held in Bellows
Falls March :. The lease of the
grounds has been held up, but the pa
pers are nearly completed and they
are expected to reach Berger S hands
at any time now.
In addition to the election of officers
there are a number of important mat
tiers to come up at the meeting, among
them are the salary limit and a limit
on the number of players each team
shall carry, as well as the question
whether or not the clubs will be al
lowed to hire discarded big league
players III midseason. Berger, IT is
understood, as we'll as local fans, is
in favor of lower salary limit than
last year, which was $3.50, besides a
manager. The local men are in ia
vor of carrying II men, while some
clubs favor il, this matter will be
decided by & vote of the directors.
At the present time the bali grounds
| are under water, caused by the over
| flowing of the banks of the Ashuelot
river. The grandstand and bleachers
were not damaged by the water or ice
| NJ. j. Moran, the league representa-
tive from Brattleboro, said today that

directors to hold the next meeting the

Sport appears to be in for new deal.
Dope is getting a square knockout and
is taking the count with scarcely a
murmuR Old time customs and preju-
dices are shattered beyond hope of rec
lamation.

same as in other lines of human en-
deavor, must have speed. Take oppos-

the one possessing the edge of speed
and drive will win.
We all remember when a football
coach was supposed to be star play
er while a student. Likewise a mana
ger of a major league team was ex-
pected to be a bear of a diamond art
ist while in the regular harness.
These days are passing. We are ap-
preaching new deal.
If a man has the correct idea of
speed and drive and can teach the
same, he is the one most likely to get
the job nowadays.
| AS an example we point with PRIDE
! to Messrs. Rush, Rowland and Zuppke.
| Rowland was never more than a
| Glass B manager until Owner Comis-
! key, hearing Of his success as a speed
merchant. kept him in mind and gave
him the biggest job in his catalogue
when the time came around.
At Peoria Rowland gave his squad
a worlds record in stolen bases by cen
tralizing his efforts on speed.
Bob Zuppke jumped from a high
school coaching job to the director
ship of a Big Nine champion in tho
space of two years. He conferred his
efforts on speed and dazzling plays
which baftled entirely the opposition
The Illinois system of plays in the
hands Of a slow eleven would have
been joke and a cause for excessive
laughter. But with speed behind then
they were sure shots.
At Cleveland John Speedy RusI
has been coaching high school in va
riouS lines of sports these many years
He got the nickname of Speedy Ions
ago and has kept it ever since. H
has likewise put the same spirit int
his high school players and teams
They were winners.
Comiskey, in looking for a manage
to produce n winner, passed over wei
known stars and selected an unknown
whose middle name was Speed.
Illinois, desiring to get out of tn
football rut, went past these who wer

Princeton, hopelessly in the ditc
from a football standpoint, gave til
