0XFORD'S CREW RULES
 FAVORITE FOR RACE
On Present Form Experts Think Outfit Is Superior to That of
 Cambridge

Oxford, England, March 2$,-On their present form the Oxford crew, in the opinion of rowing experts should be the favorites in the an nual race with Cambridge next Saturday. Since 1929, when the first race vas rowed a' Henley, Oxford has been successful in Al out of 75 meetings. They won the 182a race, but when the meets were revived a decade later oxford crews were hopeless until a philanthropic Cambridge oarsman came and coached and coXed them again 10 victory.
 Lord Justice Chitty strokod the first of the great Oxford crews in 1S42. A Cambridge man. "Jack" Hall. was the frs: 70 stroke four successive crews appearing from 1858 10 1881. After his day Cam bridge rowing foll off until the time of II. Rhodes. a brother of the South African pioneer Cecil Rhodes, who founded the Jesus college sys- tenn Of rowing.
 One of the most ingenious strokes fhe races have produced was L., F. West who roncd for Oxford in the early eighties. His fame rests upon a victory over q far superior Cam bridge crew which he achicrod ly starting off from tho post al 'ho amazing rate of A strokes 10 tho minute and completely demorahzDG the surprised Cambridge oarsmcn.
 Vests successor, one A. II. Higgins,\vas tro HGht"st s'rol5c on record. He went into the raco a' 1s2 pounds with q crew behind him averaging 175, and won hy seven lenE;hs.

Mats Win ListleSS Game by
 S9--26 Tally

The National Guards won slow and Hstlcss game Saturday night from the A'pinos of Bridgeport, 39 and 9G, after leading 19 to 10 at half time. Neither team exhibited anything like good basketball form and the Alpincs were decidedly off in their play. As a matter of fact TWO Of tho players, Darlington and Walkov, never before played with this outfit.
 The game started off slow and al- though in the last half New Britain spccdcd mp, exhibited some good pass work and some fine shooting, they were not furnished the opposi- ton that goes to make an interest ing game. One fault with the Al pines was that Rocliowitz and Shine have been accustomed to playing professional rules, and therefore they were somewhat bafflcd at Dick Dillon's strict interpretation of the amateur rules.
 Concerning the game there was little of interest. All of the New Britain squad got into action, includ- ing Hoist at center, La liar at for ward and Weir at guard. Eestelli, taking pass from Kilduff, caged the first basket after a minute and a quarter of play and 15 seconds later Darlington shot one-half the length of the floor for a double decker. The score was tied four different times in the first half, but withal, the game was listless and even the tie score did not create much enthu- siasm. Chadys tied 1t Up at the be- ginning of the second half at 12 all but from then on the Mats gradually drew away. Had the Guardsmer been able to handle the ball cleaner in the first half they might have piled up an even larger score. l LaETar and Taylor shot the great
 est number of points for the Nats
 Paul getting five baskets in the sec
 ond half and Taylor four. This
 brought Taylor's count up to six for 1 the game. Shine did the best as re- 1 gards shooting for the Alpines, but
 Darlington of Waterbury who was
 substituting in the visitors lineup
 vas more than his equal in play and | got just as many baskets. The sum- l r1arN,

DODGERS TO BE A BIT STRONGER
Robinson However, Will Use
 About the Same Team
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Clearwater, Fla, March 23.--Wil- bert Robinson, manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, \contenders las, year 10 the finish, was both reticent and conservative today in discussing his teams prospects, in the coming National league pcnnant fray.
 We will start with about the same club that we finished with last fall" hesaid. "J. E. Cox, the out fielder we bought from Portland. bats and fields in manner to make me believe he will add real strength to the team. Our infleld, Tournier at first, High at second. Mitchell al short and Johnston at third, is work inv splendidly.
 ,"The only setback has been in minor strains. High and Johnston are nursing these injuries. I will not. at this time, pass on my new pitch CTS. I will name neither the best nor worst. They may reverse them selves and me next week. but I will say that Ehrhardt the player we obtained from the Cotton States league last fall is looking fine this spring and expect to use him as regular.
 We are handicapped in our exhi. bition games by the absence of our three state veteran pitchers, Vance. Grimes and Doak. Dazzy has just signed his contract and begun to work out with the club. But he will soon be ready as he came south fin mid-winter. Grimes and Doak have not reported yet. They want moro money on long contracts.
 But in spite of these difficulties things look all right and they will work out and by the time the season l opens everything will be well with us.
 '1 don't count in the pcnnant race but I am really getting along fine and l am feeling fine. I am just talk ing it easy right now, that Is all. ] will be right there through the pen nant race. positively will not make any predictions at this time. but we expect to get better start than last year. we should be as strong or stronger and we will fight clear to the finish.

BURNS HARD PRESSED
Knotlc Pressing Burns for First Base With Indinns-Acts Like Sisler on Ease, Not at Plate.

Lakeland, March 2S.---In the field, Rob Rhode. who is pressing the vet rran, George Burns, for the first base assignment on theCleveland ln- dians, reminds one of George Sisler. At the bat the resemblance is not so striking.
 If Rhode can hit big league pitch ing, the Indians. with Burns and Rhode to look after the initial sack, have no worries on that score. Rhode hits left handed and south paw pitching of the major league caliber bothcrs him.
 It is a coincidence that Rhode, who steps around the bag in Sisler fashion, also halls from the Univer- sity of Michigan, acquiring the fundamentals of baseball there.

Orlando, March 25.--"He's the best catcher in the National league, probably in the majors" that is the compliment Manager Jack Hen dricks of the Cincinnati Reds pays Bubbles" Hargrave.

.HORWITz PLAYS
 EXCELLENT GAME
Eddie Almost Cages Goal Ref.
 ereeins MOhaWk-Musician Go

Something took place on the arm ory floor Saturday night, previous to the Alphine- National Guard game. Some laughed and called it basket ball game, but those persons were only kidding. Others called 1t bur lesque, but no custard pies were thrown. As matter of fact 1t was staged as a basketball game be- tween "The Musicians and the Mo- hawk A. C." It was fortunate for the crowd that the title of the pro- ceedings was announced.
 Before going any further it might be remarked that the scoreboard at the conclusion of activities read: Mo- hawks 992,o47, Musicians SS3,421, or perhaps vice versa. At any event Eddie Horwitz who essayed the role Of referee almost caged q goal. Who took part in this enterprise Consideration for the feelings of the families, friends and swcethearts of those more or less actively engaged forbids the mention of their names. Suffice it to remark that the exhibi- ton was awful and the attempts of the players to play even more awful.
 Without doubt, the aggregation presented one of the most formid- able arrays of uniforms seen on any floor this season. Everything from bathing suite 10 semi-state prison garb was worn by the players and the referee appeared resplendcnt in a pair of trousers that were white when he started, and a sweat-shirt that was probably white when it was bought.
 But this surely was a great week for Eddie Horwitz. Appearing at the Palace as 'second" for a boxer in a vaudeville stunt and introduced as "Gashouse Mike" Eddie leaped into the calcium again as a basket ball official. He had a whistle, bas- kethall shoes n everything. Once in while he footed the whistle but nobody knew why. The suction shoes he wore obviously 10 expedite
  his scooting away from the scene of hostilitics when he tossed the ball in air
 But all in all, this little fasco furnished lot of good laughs foI the crowd and Berved 10 put them in good humor for what was to come The best that can be said of the Musicians is that as basketball play. CTS they are good violin, piano. ban jo etc, players. Of the Mohawks il can be said that some of them looked as though they knew the diff ference between a. basketball and 6 golf ball, but could not distinguish the basketball from the well know1 football

SHEVLIN-SMITH
Dartmuoth Instructor Will Swap Punches With Boxing Whiz From Battle Creek. Michigan.

Eddie Shevlin and Rock Smith will sling their padded mitts at each other at Foot Guard hall in Hartford on Thursday night in the star bout arranged by the Atlas A. C. The boys will enter the ring at l52 pounds and the battle is slated for F rounds, unless sooner halted by the referee or a we'll placed wallop.
 Shcvlin, the clever boxing instruc tor at Dartmouth is regarded as one of the casts best leather pushers and his followers hereabouts are confi- dent he will show up the boy from Battle Creek. But Rocky himself is a tough customer and all indications point to a fast and scrappy scrap.
 There will be three preliminary bouts.

Chester is pitcher. He is said to have signed a contract calling for s3,0oO the first year and a bonus Of $4.o00. This is believed 10 be the most attractive offer made a high school product.
