CAMBRIDGE IS EASILY MASTER OVER OXFORD
Finishes Boat Race Today Ten Lengths Ahead
 of Rivals

London, March 3l {UP)-A we'll trained and stout-hearted Cambridge crew today spurted its way into one of the greatest and easies victories Cambridge ever had scored in the soth contest of Oxford Cambridge boat races. by finishing ten lengths ahead of their traditional opponents.
 The time was well under the rec ord. but Cambridge didn't need rec ord speed to defeat the crew that hlled the Oxford boat today.
 The race was rowed in 20 minutes end 25 seconds as against the rec ord of IS minutes and c9 seconds established by Oxford in 1911.
 Never was Cambridge challenged. At the finish they seemed strong and did not appear distressed. In con- trast the Oxford crew was fatigued. Several of them hung over their oars when the boat finally put by the finish mark at Mort lake. Their last mile or two had exhausted them and at the finish they were rowing rag gedly and with no semblance of the splendid unison they had shown at the start.
 It was the 39th race Cambridge had won since the event was started 99 years ago. Oxford has won 40 and one race ended in a dead heat. The crowd was not as great as that which has witnessed other races in the past. Intermittent showers-be- Continued on Page Nine)

REPUBLICANS REJECT BALLOT FROM ALLIE
Cavanaugh and Butler Nominated" for Public
 Offices

J. B. Alice who announced sev- eral days ago that he would be 6 candidate for mayor on both tickets had his political ambitions cut short at the republican primaries yester- day when the ballot he registered in his own behalf was rejected on the ground that he was not regularly entered as d candidate for the primary.
 A surprise was sprung in the dem ocratic primary when one ballot. registered i'll the sixth ward, was found to carry the writing: For town clerk. T. C. Cayanaugh. For tax collector. James J. Butler"
 Since the democrats had no print ed names of candidates for either of these offices. claim was made in some circles today that the two mentioned are now the regular nominees of their party. At any rate there ap- peared to be a unanifnity of opinion that both Cavanaugh and Butler must file statements of campaign expenses whether they knew the. were to be nominated at the primary or not, since the corrupt practice act requires candidates, whether 'volun- tary or involuntary, to do so. As matters now stand in the demo- cratic party Mir. Cavanaugh has the only vote cast for the nomination for town clerk, while MT. Butler has the only vote cast for a democratic nom- nation as collector. If the primary laws are so construed as to make them the nominees. Butler will de- cline the nomination for tax collec- tor. he announced today. Whether Cavanaugh will choose to run could not be learned.
