NO AMERICANS IN
 BRITISH SHELLS.
They Will Be Missed in This
 Years Races

Oxford, Eng, March ss,.--For the first time in several years the ox- ford crew is without an American oarsman, and the cartoonists who have annually portrayed a crew fin horn spectacles with the coxswain smoking a cigar and bawling ''atta boy" must now seek other employ ment.
 The loss of Mellen, the Brasenose American who stroked oxford so we'll in 1928, though unsuccessfully last year, is very apparent in this years boat. Campbell, the Etonian, who is stroking, Is less finished oarsman and lacks both Mellen's timing and his hard, quick drive off the stretcher.
 With four Etonians in the boat and a coach who explained that school, the work is much after the traditional Eton style, save that the swing, swing together" of the boat ing song is still rare achievement. Shrewsbury, Radley and Westmin- ster, all noted rowing schools, have each one representative, while Now er-White. the heavyweight of the crew comes from Rugby.
 In the Cambridge crew Eton has three representatives. The Cam bridge captain recently resigned be- cause of ill health, and this misfor- tune, with the resulting uncertainty in the final choice of a crew, has slowed the Cambridge start and made Oxford the present favorites.
 Oxford's supposed superiority rests largely upon their neatness and style in padding very slow stroke. Though the actual university race is rowed we'll up in the thirties, both crews have been training as stroke below 25. Last year Mellen set the stroke too high for the heavy men behind him and they splashed and ioundered through, nearly five lengths astern of a light Cambridge crew rowing a slower but long and rhythmic stroke. With this lesson large before them, the Oxford coaches have attempted to give to the lighter candidates of this year the winning Cambridge style. The result is polished rowing at 20 strokes to the minute, and ragged rowing at S2.f 4E. s.#a-
 Oxford's coaching this year has again been in charge of the aged Dr. J. c. Bourne, Fellow of Mer- ton college, and the Linacre pro- lessor of anatomy, who rowed, for Oxford in 1SS2-1SSS.
 With the increasing interest and participation in other sports, ee- pecially rugby football and tennis, university enthusiasm for rowing has declined. It is still a popular sport. but no longer the one popu- lar sport.
 Of past races, Oxford has won 40 and Cambridge 55. In 1877 the crews rowed dead heat. In 1912 both boats sank at the first att tempt, and the race was rowed over. The date for this years event is March 2s.
 The weights of the two crews are nearly equal, Cambridge averag- ing a little over 169 pounds man, and Oxford 1ss pounds.

Johnny Dundee's Status
 To Be Investigated

New York, March z6.-Johnny Dundee's status brought into ques- ton by the French boxing fedora ton following his defeat in a bout with Rcd Chapman Of Boston in that city Monday night, will he discussed by the New York State Athletic commission at it's meeting next Tues day.
 The former fcatherweight cham pion is under suspension in this state at this time, the action having been taken February when word was received from Paris that Dun dee had failed 10 keep his contract to meet Fred BrHtonnsl there.
 So far as New York is concerned Dundee is in the position he occU- pied before his meeting with Chap man in Boston. He cannot box in this state. Chapman, on the other hand, is very likely to draw punish ment of some sort for appearing against a suspended boxer.

HENDERSON CRATER
 NOW HAS TROUBLE
N. Y. Fire Officials Find It
 Not Fireproof

New York, March 26.--Cold water was poured upon the New York dis trict's hopes for a heavyweight championship boxing bout this sum mer by fire officials yesterday.
 Tire walls must he included In, the plans for the Henderson crater. scheduled to seat 10000. which is about to rise in Long Island City. This entails an additional cost of more than sl00.00o and there were reports that the project had been abandoned. Charles s. Henderson, sponsor of the new stadium. said, however, that he will continue con- struction.
 Henderson was closeted with Jack Kearns. manager of the heavyweight champion, Jack Dempsey, for q short time; but if the prospect of q bout this summer was discussed, no information was forthcoming. Tex Rickard, chief of boxing at the Yankee stadium and Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City, reiterated his determination to avoid conflict with the boxing commission which on Tuesday declared Dempsey inelig- ible in this state.
 Rickard said that ne had talked with Paddy Mullins, manager Of Dempsey's five year challenger, Harry Wills, regarding the chances of Wills appearing against somebody in the annual milk fund show. From present indications, milk fund shows will flow freely this season, with Rickard planning one at the stadium. Jimmy DeForest matching Gibbons and Tunney for the Polo Grounds and Henderson insisting that the bouts be held at the Crater which has not been active up to this time.

Senators Win

Washington, March 2G.--The sena- tors bats came to life with ven- Senance yesterday to pound out a 1G to victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers at Tampa. with three cir cuit clouts included in their total of 19 hits. With the Dodgers making little headwav against Zachary or the two recruits, McNamsra and Kelley, who followed him. the game was somewhat of romp for the champions throughout the game.
 Resides gathering four hits, in- cluding a home run and a double, Earl McNeely counted four of the Senator's runs within a stretch Of five innings, a somewhat unusual feat.
 The champions hoped to keep up their new batting pace today against the Buffaio pitchers, who held them to two lone hits last Tues day.

kAPLAN CANCELS
 BOUT WITH MILAN
Ferguson, Conn. Boxer, Scores
 Kayo on Coast

Los Angeles. Calf, March o6.- Louis (Kid) Kaplan will start for home as soon as possible after meet ing Ernie Goozeman of Milwaukee, Saturday night at San Diego. This was announced from the training of Kaplan and his numerous sparring partners. Although it was not de- nied, the prospects of signing for d bout with Edouard Mascart, Euro- pean featherweight champion, seem pretty good and the boy from the Nutmeg state was in playful mood -roughing up scotty Montieth and otherwise making 1t lively for his cohorts and partners in the leather pushing profession.
 It was reported at the Kaplan camp that Louis would meet Edouard Mascart and not Johnny Dundee-and that the Frenchman would meet the Connecticut boy first before he engaged in any other bouts in this country
 With Kaplan leaving so suddenly. his bout with Stewart Mclean, of St. Paul, for the middle of April and the one also with Ace Hudkins at a later date, have been postponed.
 Tracey Ferguson landed his first kayo victory since coming to the coast last night when he fioored Mel Stephenson for the count in the fourth round at Doyle's Vernon arena. Fergy was right for the first time since he has been in California and showed he has developed a nice left hand punch. A hard right smash 10 the jaw dropped Stephenson in the second but the latter came back with a rush in the following round and caught Tracey with right hand wallop that shook the Nut meg State lad. The Sheriff scored another knockdown in this round. In the last, after some furi- ous milling, Ferguson dropped his rival after two minutes of battling. He was signed by Doyle at the con- clusion of the bout 10 appear here in the ring next Tuesday night against some opponent yet to be named.

 Business College, 4527

The South church basketball team wound up its most successful season last night by trouncine the Smith business college five, 45-27. in a fast game at the Boys club. The winners jumped into the lead in the first min ute Of play and. while threatened at times, were never headed. Neither team displayed any too perfect a defense. but the South church was able to keep off all its opponents ex- cept Maiorano, while Adams, Parker, and Cooley flashed through the Smith guards with great frequency.
 Adams. Parker, and Cooley all es- abolished their seasons scoring re- cords. Lanky Adams led the way with nine baskets and two fouls for total Of 20 points, while Captain Parker gave him a good run by sink ing in seven double-deckers and a foul. Cooley's five baskets gave him anew high mark for the year. Hay lick. Wiiks. and Washburn stuck pretty much to the defense and sub dued all their opponents threats.
 Maiorano, the diminutive captain Of the loosers, featured for his team with eight baskets and two fouls; he played fine floor game, too. but his teammates were not up to his stand ard. Mazooki missing several easy shots Santy played nice game at center. The Smith guards came and went rapidly in an attempt to stop the Congregationalists' scoring.
 Parker started the scoring with two quick field goals. Maiorano made good on foul try, but Parker svished his third basket through the cords. Maiorano and Santy then sank a field goal apiece, but Adams ana Parker came through again. In the second quarter. Adams ran wild. get ting three field goals inside of minute and forcing the dazed smitn boys 10 take time out. The south church led by 25-10 at halftime.
 Washburn replaced Havlick as the third period opened. The snlith team rallied, but these spurts worked in pairs, first one team ana then the other rattljng off two or three baskets. Maiorano@ got under full steam and sank several sensa- tional goals, but the teamwork o' the South church offset hts individ- ual play and continually gave the bail to a man slone under the bas- ket. Adams and Parker started scoring contest on the slde' put Lanky jumped ahead in the last nusrtcr when he sapk a foul and
 followed UP, his second try with a field goal Cooley got a neat pair in this half. while Mazooki, santy and Chectham also scored for the l losers.

MATS LOSE SERIES ID MIDDLETOWN
Fans Try to Mob Chick Hayes
 After Poor Game

In game in which neither played anything like first-rate basketball. the National Guards went down be- fore the All -Middletown array last night in the state armory by Ss-1s score and lost the three-game series with the visiting team. The locals had taken the first game without much trouble and lost the second by a rather wide margin. Last night they showed almost no offensive power and this, combined with some sleepy floorwork and some genuine tough luck on the few shots they were able to take. made the game one-sided.
 The one redeeming feature of a bad night was the flashy work of Jack Keatine, MiddIetown center, Heating it was who gave the visitors their big lead and the start of the game. and the former Trinity cap tain played the cleanest and fastest game of any man on tho floor. Mur- phy. who got into the game late made his presence felt with several pretty baskets. Reynolds, who play cd the second half for New Britain, led the home team in scoring from the field, but the Mats were lost and exhibited a poor brand of both pass ing and shooting
 A quick shot byNMiller from deep in the corner gave the visitors the lead within ten seconds of the open ing whistle. LaHar had chance 10 tie it Up when Carlson fouled him. hut he missed both chances. Then Keating broke. loose. He started with a beautiful quick toss atter a turn in a far corner and followed this with two goals made while flashing under the basket at top speed. LaHar broke the charm and got New Brit aims first goal after nine minutes ot nlav. Carlson made it lo-e, and the teams fought on even terms until the whistle. New Britain pulled poner by calling time out with only "V seconds of the half remaining Mia' dletown led by l4-5.
 |. LaHar gave way to Reynolds ss the second half began. Keating re- sumed his fine work with long shot, Taylor showed signs of his old self and tossed in one of his single handed shots, following a minute later with two foul goals when pushed by Sturm. Carlson fouied Restelli: it washis fourth. personal and he gave way to Murphy. Strun and McCabe made floor shots, and then Reynolds broke the distance record for the night with one from tbree.ouarters of the court, bringing inc score 10 20-11. ResteIli was taker out and replaced by Wojack. who made a basket shortly after his en trance. This about ended New Bri tain's scoring. and Middletown rolled up 4 big score, Keating again in
