pends largely on an added effort put
forth by our youth of today. Sue
cess has made Uncle Sans athletes
grow a bit listless, while his foreign
cousins, long the underdogs, arc de-
termined to take the measure of the
Americans.
Our achievements are by no means
the result of any special gift of abil-
fly, but rather are due to the simple
fact that the American boy has lots
OF time to play and an abundance of
playing space-conditions that do not
exist abroad. AS conditions grow bet
ter abroad our supremacy will be cor
respondingly menaced.
Since the revival of the Olympic
games in Athens In 1896 we have
been leaders in the world of athletics.
After every set of games since that
time, however, our lead is being cut
down and athletes from other lands
have made more progress than ours.
In the last OlympicS in Paris the

eigners like Nurmi, Hoff Houben,
Paulen, Hill, Lowe, Martin, Rose. the
Australian mile sensation. and the
rest competing, we cannot hope to
better our record unless Il determined
effort is made by our growing ath-
letes to raise the standard.

CAMBRIDGE EIGHT
WINS OVER OXFORD
By the Associated Press.

by the ASSOclated HreSss
PUTNEY, England, March 27.--
The Cambridge varsity crew, with a
substitute rowing at No. 4, defeated
their old rivals of Oxford by five
lengths today in one Of the finest
races seen on the Thames in years.
At the start there was little to
choose between the two eights, al
though oxford was slightly the ia
vorite. IT was a gruelling race from
the beginning at Putney over the 4 Il
mile course to Mortlake, but when
Cambridge flashed over the line hard
ly a man in her boat seemed in dis
tress, while several of the Oxford
crew were in state Of collapse.
The official time was 19 minutes 20
seconds, which is just a. minute slow
er than the record established by OK
ford in 1911.
oxford won the toss for position
and chose the south side of the river.
The Dark Blues led slightly for most
of the first miles. but did not seem
to have much in reserve. Then Cam
bridge, although rowing a somewhat
longer course around the big horse
shoe bend at Iiammersmith, took the
lead and maintained it to the end.
1t is reported that Cambridge tried
out q new Stimulant, each member OF
the crew taking two teaSpoonfulS of
brown sugar just before the start,
but the Cambridge trainer was not
inclined to talk about the report after
the race.
The efficacy of sugar as a stimulant
is well known. but English crews
have not tried it heretofore so far as
is known.
Huge crowds took advantage of the
beautiful sunshiny weather to wit
ness the race.
The victory was the thirty seventh
for Cambridge in the long series and
the third In successive years. Oxford
has won 40 times. Tho race III 1877
was a dead heat.
Last years race ended sensation
ally when the oxford crew was forced
to abandon the contest owing to the
water-logged condition of her shell.

AS the armholes of a track
jersey are cut out SO that the
shoulder and chest muscles are ex-
posed, runners Of short stature
often burn their chests when
breaking the tape because of the
friction of this taut string across
this exposed muscle.
Earl Eby, an intercollegiate half
mile champion Of few years ago,
suffered from a good many such
sores until he found the remedy.
1t is pictured on the left in the
above illustrations. He merely
used his left hand to break the
tape, instead of his chest muscle.
There is no possible disadvantage
in finishing a race in this position,
and it certainly solves this problem
quite nicely.

was the source of a lot of satisfaction.

fourth place. being three strokes back
of Ouimet, Vardon and Ray. With
me at 307 were Walter Hagen, Mac
Donald Smith and Louis Teller. This
was Hagen's first try for the title.
In one way my experience was simt.
lar to that at Buffalo. l played better
the first day than the second, and also
I was just three strokes back of the
leader at the end of the first day, ex-
actly as the year before.
Kept His Average Up.
However, on reviewing the play /
found that bad breaks in the luck had
worked against me more than once.
Furthermore, although failing to
score brilliantly, I had kept up an
average that left me less than a
stroke a round back Of the leaders.
whereas at Buffalo I was II strokes
back. Also, what 1 had learned at
Buffalo had helped greatly in this
tournament. And on top of all this
was the comforting idea that / was
