ENGLAND FOCUSES
ON CREW CLASSIC
Great Crowd to See Oxford
and Cambridge Tomorrow
in Ancient Event.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
DUTNEY-ON-T THAMES, England,
- March 20.-England's sportsnen
put aside their daily tasks today
and conferred their attention on
the traditional Oxford Cambridge boat
race up the Thames tomorrow.
On both sides of the river from Put
ney to Mortlakes brewery thousands
will line the course and other thousands
will pack trains pulled out on the
bridges overhanging the 4 mile course.
Because of considerable jockeying for
positions in the Cambridge eight, racing
experts give oxford a bit of an edge
over their rivals despite the fact that the
Light Blues have won seven consecutive
victories in the annual series and lead,
Al to 40, in the 80 races rowed since
1929.
Oxford's crew remains virtually the
same eight that stepped into the shell
early IN the s.ason, while Cambridge
coaches have altered men in positions
and changed oarsmen In an effort to
hit on a winning combination.
Oxford Crew Heavier.
Wind conditions play an important
part in the race because of the wide
sweep made in the rivers course which
flows almost ~" shaped over q great
part of the 4K miles.
oxford viii have an advantage IN
weight, averaging at 1853 pounds, about
pounds more than the Cambridge
boatload.
Cambridge continued the popular
choice today in the betting at to 4
and to /. but rowing men believed
the odds were unfair as Oxford has Q
really good crew while Cambridge
hardly has reached the level Of the 1880
eight. oxford made faster time than
Cambridge in the latest trials and
showed excellent form on Thursday in
final, calm weather which according to
weather forecasts probably viii continue
over Saturday.
The race viii begin at 2:20 pm,
Greenwich time (9:20 am, Eastern
time) and will end about 20 minutes
later. oxford set the course record at
18 minutes 90 seconds In 1911.

Sasse Scouts for Grid Ideas
Army Coach Figures to Get 'LOt of Foot Ball
knowledge on Tour of Spring Camps.

in this country that one does not
get by staying at home"
When Capt. McEwan was head
coach of the Army they used to ship
him to points remote Immediately
after the season was over and have
him return to the point in Septem-
Der. Mac never fancied this idea,
and as matter of fact, it was one
of the principal factors leading to
his retirement from the service.
McEwan's successor, Biff Jones,
and now Ralph SaSse were given
full-time coaching assignments at
West Point; but whereas Biff took
classes, Maj. Sasse has nothing to do
but concentrate on foot, ball, which
is as it should be. The Army Is
holding no Spring practice and her
coach is taking advantage of this by
studying various systems of coaching
and various formulas of play.
It is quite certain that as result,
the Army next season will reveal
certain important changes In the
1881 scheme of offenSe.
Speaking of the Army, reminds one
somehow of Notre Dame. In con-
nection with which. it might be
prophesied that Southern California
viii remain on the schedule of the
South Bend team as hardy annual.

DISTRICT PLANS
POINT AIRPORT:

With the approach of the next
session of Congress, the Washing
ton Chamber of Commerce is max
ing preparations to resume its
fight to obtain Gravelly Point as
q municipal airport for Washing
ton.
While no announcement has
been made as to the policy to be
pursued by the chamber this year,
It is regarded as certain that 1T
will prepare a, new bill under
which reclamation work at the
Point would be pushed, with the
District paying no more than 50
per cent of the cost Of the work.
Would Take Too Long
The land at the Point is now
being reclaimed by the Federal
Government under the Rivers and
Harbors Act, but chamber Off
cials point out that, because OF
the limited amount of work which
may be done under this bill, it
would require a number of years
to prepare the land for use as
an airport.
The chamber favors re-routing
Of the road which now divides the
Hoover er-Washington Airport and
development of this field as a pri'
vate port, with establishment Of a
municipal field at the Point.
Has Quit Project
Senator Hiram Bingham, who
has favored purchase of the
Hoover Washington Airport fol
District use, is believed to have
abandoned this project, mainly
because of the opposition Of the
chamber.
Under Senator Bingham's plan
the Federal Government would
have donated land it now owns in
the vicinity of the airport and the
District would have paid for pri
vate land necessary to the deVel
opment. Chamber officials con
tended that this was too much oi
a burden on the District.
