London, April o tP,--Dcadlocked d in number of victories after 101 years of rowing rivalry, the eight cared crews of Oxford and Cam bridge match strokes on the Thames, April 12, with more at stake than ever before.
 Eighty-on ono times in the course of that ancient series extending back to 1929, the picked oarsmon of Eng lands proud old universities have met and each side has emerged vic torious on exactly 10 occasions. The memorable race of 1877 produced that rarcst of all rowing raritics, a dead heat.
 Oxford, holding q comfortable lead at the turn of the century. has seen it's precious margin melt away as Cambridge roWcd to victory year after year. Only once since 1913 has the dark blue Of Oxford finished | first and on that one occasion of triumph. in 1928. it Was an Ameri- can oarsman, w. F. Mcllcn of New York. who strokcd the winning eight This year it is Cambridge whose hopes arc bolstCrcd by the presence of an American. F. F.. SwartN out, New York youth, has been chosen coNswain of the light blue crew and is one of the lightost stccrsmen Of recent years, weighing barely 10J pounds. By coincidence Swartw out and Mellen once were schoolmates at the MiddlcscX school in Massachu sCttS.
 Perhaps never before in the long 1 history of this annual event have l there been more sensational develop mcnts in the preparation of the crews for the racc.
 In the carly stages Of Oxford s | training, open disscnsion broke out between Alastair Graham, president of the Oxford boat club, and the amateur coaches of the crew. The coaches, themselves old Oxford oars men, favored J. Time. a brother ot | NiiC loiilOuo cNAclI bIut OL I'l-, u replace Graham at bow or No. I.
 The president, whose position cor responds to that of the captain o. an American crew, insisted upon retaining his seat, but finally resign ed and Tinne was appointed presi. dent in his place.
 Shortly after this, i'll luck paid q call at the Cambridge camp in the resignation of Davies Cooke, No. { oar. who developed serious stomach trouble and was forced to give III rowing.
 "The latest surprising development was the poor showing of T. X ! Brocklcbank, veteran Cambridg, stroke, who in one day committed the rowing crime Of catching { crab three times.

CORBIN SCREW WILL MEET
 FORMER CHAMPS SATURDAY
American Brass Co. Basketball Team of Waterbury Op- poses Locals in Semi-Fina of State Tournament - Took Title Last Season-Had Little Trouble in Dis- posing of Meriden Last Week - Bridgeport and New Haven clash at oClock-Final Contest at Night
The hardest kind Of opposition is

The hardest kind of opposition is expected by the Corbin Screw from the American Brass Co. basketball team of Waterbury, the quintet that stands between the Screw Shop five and the finals in the state industrial basketball tournament. The game will be played at the Stanley Arena Saturday afternoon.
 Waterbury's representative in the tournament had little trouble in de- feating the Meriden team in Water bury last week. The Meriden team included such we'll known players as Kocin and koski, the famed Meri- den Community and St. Stanislaus forward combination and J. and E. Theisen, guards on the Community team.
 The Brass City team won the state championship last year and the followers of the Waterbury team are confident that the quintet will repeat it's performance. The Amer ican Brass team has on it's roster players who have made appearances in this city on many occasions. Among them are Daily, Dunn, Wall, Fruin and Stavitsky. Four of these players were in the lineup Of the Washington Hill team of Waterbury that was defeated by the National Guard quintet early this season. If New Britain is successful In de- feating Waterbury in the afternoon. 1t will play the winner of the Bridgeport and New Haven game at o'clock Saturday night. This con- test will be played at o'clock. an hour after the New Britain Water bury game.
 The winner of the Corbin Screw American Brass game will be crowned champion of northern Con- necticut. New Britain has never won the state industrial champion ship but there are high hopes that it will accomplish the feat this year. It is probable that Joe Luke, who was i'll when the Corbin Screw team played in Waterbury last Saturday, will be ready for service this Satur- day. He will substitute at forward. The rest of the team is: Joe Luty, center; Andy Yakubowicz and Char ley Baker, forwards; Hank" Ar- burr and 'Hammy" Darrow, guards.
 Dan Ahern will probably be ref cree and Clyde Waters will be um- pire.
 Saturday Night Preliminary
 Stanley Rule and the J. J. Vol colt Co.,, of Waterbury will play in the preliminary game Saturday night Both were runners-up in tho New Britain and Waterbury leagues.

APPEARS
 l AS BEST PLAYER
X-Ray Reveals Left Leg Back in
 Normal Condition Again

New York, April 10 LP)-Albie Booth, the quarterback, as model college athlete, has a rival.
 It is Albie Booth the shortstop.
 That doesn't mean that Shortstop Booth means as much to Yale as Quarterback Booth.
 But the impression was gained in yesterdays Yale-Columbia baseball game here that Booth was the best player in the Blue lineup, and he might qualify as the best ball player on the field. Certainly it seems that the mighty midget has helped himself to an- other one of those difficult Yale athletic jobs. He seems to thrive on this daring procedure though and the whacks he got on the gridiron and then on the basketball court. where he ex- perted at forward, has developed what looks like bigger and better | Booth.
 It wasn't Booth who said so, but 1t was learned from the bench that an X-ray taken the other day show ed that Booths left leg, where a muscle was torn last fall, is in normal condition.
 The way he pivoted on several slick double play maneuvers before the game indicated that his under. pinnings are sound.
 They must be, for Albie, himself snapped a sort of half-emphatic yes when the question was put tc him.
 That was about the extent Of hi. loquacity.
 Here is a complete text Of the in. terview:
 'Is your left les in good shape Albie?"
 Yes"
 "How's your weight''
 "The same.'
 Do you prefer to play short stop?"
 'Uh, huh l SoiiO Ol jllS llldlC Oll lHS DGIlCl filled in on the weight subject ant said he was about five pound. heavier than he was last fall, pher he came in at about 145.
 The Yale boys suggested Albie wa. a bit more reticent than usual be. cause of the hazing he took on the southern training tour. which cul minated in the game with Columbia
 Kids, reporters and old men kep him surrounded for the full ter days and he even had the rare ex perience of being razzed for an CT TOT or two.
 They were chiding Albie down a Annapolis, when Yale played tn, Navy. Whereupon the tiny one drev base on balls and then stole secont and third on the next two pitchec balls.

Albie trapped 1t wit his hands close to his uniform--jus . as Rabbit Maranville would hay done, and it didn't look at all bad b com parison.

Chicago Disappointed

Chicago, April 10 IP-Chicago Cub baseball fans are disappointed that Pittsburgh didn't trade or sell Burleigh Grimes to the Cubs instead of the Boston Braves, but they are glad the spitballer no longer is with the Pirates.
 The Cubs managed to get one de- cislon over Grimes last season while he was working for their closest rivals. The fans figure Burleigh will not be so hard to beat as a Brave hurlor and that he will defeat Pittsburgh as often as he beats the Cubs.
