Cambridge has been unbeaten, winning
last year by seven lengths and the year
before by an even greater margin.
Both crws have been in frequent Diff
ficulties during their preparations this
year. Neither has shown signs of
threatening the record for the course
OF ID minutes 20 seconds, set by the
1911 oxford eight. Oxford's troubles
began when the entire coaching staff,
composed of "Old Blues" resigned be-
cause Of a disagreement with Alastair
Graham, president Of the boat club,
who was in complete charge Of the
preparations. This was smoothed over
by Graham's resignation and the
appointment Of ]. Time as his sue
ceSSor.
Cambridge suffered severe loss when
Davies Cooke. No. z. was forced out by
illness. and had more troubles when its
veteran stroke, T. A. Brocklebank, de-
veloped a tendency toward catching

q similar tendency toward sloppy row.
ing. but In the past week or two both
eighthS have settled down to smooth
work.
oxford has turned in the best time
trial so far, covering the full course q
few weeks ago in 21:0S, more than a
minute and one-half slower than last
years winning time. This evidence of
speed has served to make oxford an
even choice to win.
The only American representation in
the race this year Is r. z. Swartout
diminutive coxSwain Of the Cambridge
boat, who attended the MiddleSex
School, in Massachusetts,. Swartout's
home is in New York.
The course Of the race runs upstream
on the Thames from Putney to Mort
lake through the southwest suburbs OF
| London. Unlike the big American re-
gattaS, there Is no observation train for
the spectators. but there is no lack of
supporters Of both crews. Every inch OF
space from which the finish can be
giimpsed is packed long before race
time, and the banks along the course
are lined with the crowd. Even the river
| itself carrier its full share, with boats of
all sizes occupying all the space not
actually needed by the crews, while
many follow the crews along the banks
on bicycles or afoot. Airplanes have
been used to get a brief view Of the

JACK EDWARDS DAD
PRAISES RE|CHMAN
Declares HardeII Protege
Best Prospect He Has
Seen in Schools.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.

nTHAT boy can step out any
time Hap Hardell let's
him and break the public
a high half-mile record.
He's the best schoolboy prospect
for the $50 I've seen around here"
It's J. Kip Edwards, father of
Jack Edwards, former Tech SEN
Sation and now a freshman at
Penn, you are listening to, and
he's talking about AL Reichman,
the blond Tech captain, who is
doubtless the class of scholastic
half-milerS in this section.
Should Reichman establish a new rec
ord, a mark that has stood for Is years
will 60 by the boards. The record Is
minutes 2 3-5 seconds and was made
by another Mckinley representative,
Monroe Sheehan, in the Central Sta
dunn May IL, 1917.
Edwards also believes that Reichman
has the makin'S of good miller.
Knows His Track Stuff.
Any time Edwards says anything
about track or cinder-pather he gets
respectful attention, for he is an en-
ergetic student of the game and knows
1t thoroughly. When he expresses the
opinion that Reichman is capable of
smashing the half-mile record 1t is
rather likely that Reichman possesses
possibilities in this connection.
Moreover, Edwards ought to know a
good athlete when he sees one, having
reared such an outstanding one as Jack
and having been no SLOUGH himself
when he was in school. In fact, both
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards have always been
keen sports followers, and being reared
IN such an atmosphere doubles has had
much to do with making Jack the
stellar performer he is.
And the Edwards contributions to
athletic history will not end with Jack.
Not so you could notice it. There are
two younger brothers, athletes both,
coming along. One, Bill, is a freshman
at Tech. He is going out for the foot
ball team in the Fall, and also will try
to be a shotputter. He weighs las
pounds. being of Stouter physique than
Jack. The youngest Of the boys is Neal.
who is 9 years old. This lad, who closely
resembles Jack physically. wants to
| make his mark in the dashes He now
Is working like a Turk for his first
race. He has entered the 60-yard dash,
8O-pound class, in the Montgomery
County, Md, school championships next
month.
Jack Making Good.
But little about how Jack is getting
along at Penn:
He has made the freshman relay
team. And what combination it is!
Carr, formerly of Mercerburg, who will
be remembered here as a star in the
Dewitt meets last year and in 1928, is
another member. and the others are
also erStwhile schoolboyl cracks.
So far the order in which members
Of the team will run has not been an
nounced.
Edwards will get his first COMPETE
ton Of the outdoor season tomorrow in
the Penn Spring handicap meet, when
he probably will run from scratch in
the 220 and 440 and might put the shot
| The following Saturday the yearlings
, will engage West Philadelphia Catholic
High in a handicap meet following
which they will mix with the Cornell
and the Princeton freshmen in dual
affairs.

out of the lineup for three weeks be-
cause of a shoulder injury. 1t was
thought that Cumberland had suffered
a broken collarbone in practice We'd

only badly torn ligaments. Brandt and
Cumberland are the only experienced

British Riuals Begin Second
Century of ROWING Tomorrow
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
~ UTNEY- ON-THAMES, England,
- April 1l.-Oxford and Cam
bridge will begin their second
century Of rowing tomorrow
when their eight-oared crews meet for
the eighty-second time for their classic
412-mile duel on the Thames from
Putney to Mortlake.
The first race between the Light Blue
and the Dark Blue took place in 1929.
Since then they have rowed 81 races,
each gaining 40 victories. The 1877
race was a dead heat. There we're only
a few races up to 1856, but since that
time the boat race-and to England 1t
is almost the only boat race OF any
importance-has been an annual event
with the exception of the war years
from 1915 to 1919.
oxford was dominant on the river for
many years before the war. but has won
only one race since the series was re-
sumed in 1919. The 1928 oxford crew.

NEW YORK, April II (P.-The Ma
tional Amateur Athletic Union track
and field championships probably will
be held in Pittsburgh next August in
stead of in July, according to Dan Fer
ris, secretary-treaSurer. The scheduling
of an international meet with a British

to have the title meet at later date, so
there will be no let-down for the ath-

T0day's Golf Chatter.
Stewart Maiden is the stocky Scotch
man who began teaching Bobby Jones
about % years ago. In that space OF
time Bobby Jones has probably looked
at the golf ball oftener than any one
playing, which brings up Maiden's idea
of how to look at the ball.
Never mind keeping your eye on
the ball." he says, "or trying to think
of looking at it. Keep your mind on
it-keep your mind on hitting 1t.
mo one can look at the ball when
he Is thinking Of two or three other
matters-bunkers to be carried or
missed--how to use the wrists, shoulders,
knees or something else. Any one who
tries to concentrate on looking at the
ball is almost sure to tie himself into
a knot.
"The ball is the target. It Is what
you are trying to hit and knock some
where. Why not think about your
target? Isn't it natural to look at what
you are trying to hit? You shouldn't
have to think about that part Of the
game If your mind is working in the
right direction.
If your head keeps popping up. then
you are not swinging smoothly and you
are not thinking about hitting the ball.
No one can look at the ball who ties
himself up with thinking about some
thing else"
Maiden once cured Bobby Jones Of a
certain fault by Watching him swing
and then saying: Forget everything
else and knock hell out of it."
In this particular instance, at least,
the cure worked perfectly.

trifle over two months.
And for the first time since Fitzsim-
mons upset Jim Corbett at Carson City
a delegate from the other side of the

to carry said crown across the water.
Carpenter never had a chance
against Dempsey and Heeney had just
as slim a chance to beat Tunney.
They were both rank outsiders But
1t might be mentioned even this far
ahead that Schmeling will be an even
shot against Sharkey.
Jack Johnson and Jack O'Brien are
to box three exhibition rounds in Bos-
ton. News item.
