No place on golf course offers more problems than the sand trap. : And in no spot does the ordinary player fail more dismally.
 Practice will eliminate much of this trouble. The average shot from bunker is easier than one from the rough. and can be made with nearly any club depending on the lie and depth of the trap.
 An open stance is advisable for most shots out of sand. The shot is mainly a hand and arm stroke executed with almost, no body pivot. When the lie is close to a high bank, niblick is the proper club. If the ball Is to go only a short distance. hit farther back in the sand; for longer distance. less sand. A little practice will Soon show you how to vary the amount of sand with regard to the, distance the ball has to travel

Veteran Bill Haines' M. I. T. eight Is expected to extend Ed Leaders shelimen in the first var sity race ever held between the two schools, but an average 10- pound weight advantage and a more satisfactory training season are figured. as obstacles too great for Hafnes,. outfit to overcome. Idcal Combination
 The Yale crew Is touted as the strongest in years and one that fs expected to pull New Haven's row. ing our of the tdoldruns. Leaders oarsmen are tall, rangy and tough. Every man on the varsity stands 6 feet or more, and the weight average is about 185 pounds: This crew has rowed almost as unit since 1t started in the tank last winter. It went outdoors in February and has been rowing on the Housatonic daily for more than a month. ~,
 Techs crew averages about 6 feet andY175 pounds. It has been handicapped by bad spring weath- CT, in training on. the Charles river at Boston. Bill Haines admitted through his huge mustache that the crew Is at least two weeks be- hind last years in development.
 Some of the Boys
 Ya1e's 1882 varsity is equally di- vided between the. 1891 regulars and the undefeated freshman crew of last year. Four of the oarsmen John Jackson who stroked last years frosh shell; J. E. Meyer, Jr. J. s.. Atwood, and J. F. Hallett- are sophomores. The .coxswain. R. J. Mayer, is a graduate of the 1931 hundred and fifty pound crew which last year went to California, the first eastern crew to row on the Pacific coast. The regulars who held their posts are D. B. Manuel, No. 2; Bob Goodale, No. (: Everett Esselstyn, No. 6. and Jim Knott. No. q.
 There. are no sophomores on Techs first boat. All the oarsmen are juniors or seniors. Richard Valentine. who rowed at No. 1 in the varsity at Poughkeepsie last year, was switched to the stroke position a few days ago.
 Three Races
 To-day's regatta will bring to- gether not only the varsity crews. but the Jayvee and 1b0-pound boatloads as well.
 The varsity boatings:
 Yale = Hallett, bow; Manuel No. 2; Atwood, No. 8; G0odale, No. 4: Mayer. No. 5; Esselstyn No. 6; Knott, No. [; Jackson. stroke; Meyer, COX.

II MEDLEY RELAY
 TEAMS IN PENN
 CARNIVAL FRIDAY
Records Which Have
 Stood for IT Years Ex-
 pected to, Be Shattered at Franklin Field

Philadelphia, April 2S.-At rec ord that has stood the assaults of star runners for II years is ex- pected to be broken next Friday afternoon on Franklin field when II carefully selected distance med ley relay teams compete in the Pennsylvania relay carnival.
 Back in 1915, a quartet of blue clad runners from Yale combined to, run a quarter mile. half mile, three quarter mile and mile in 10 minutes and 20 seconds. Since that time only one team has come within 25 seconds of breaking the mark and that team, Pennsylvania, missed by two-tenths of a second of equalling the record of. the Ellis.
 For three successive years Penn sylyania has captured the event, it's best team running the two and a half miles in 10 minutes, 20 2-10 seconds. Of the four men who composed the team in 1881 three remain for this years combination. including Bill Carr, in the quarter, Carl Coan, in the three quarters and Bill McKniff, in the mile.
 Watch Schaefer
 The fourth member of the team will be Leslie Schaefer. who can run a half mile at least three sec- onds faster than John Kerr, who was a member of the team last year. If Schaefer performs as we'll next Friday as he has during the past six months at least two sec onds shoud be clipped off the long standing record by Pennsylvania.
 The Red and Blue, however, is not the outstanding favorite to win. Of the eleven teams in the race, 1t is expected that New York university, Michigan State, Indi- ana and Manhattan stand an equal chance of breasting the tape in first place.
 With Frank Nordell running the mile and J. Maloney, G. Barker and F. Humphrey covering the other distances, New York has a powerful quarter. Indiana, with Brocksmith, Western Conference indoor mile record holder, running at anchor and with three good middle distance runners in I. Fuqua, c. Hornbastel and R. Kemp is also strong.
 Frank Crowley, will run the mile for Manhattan, with. F. Mo- Kenna, T. Campbell and A. Nor ris, as the other members of the quartet. Michigan State will have E. Keast, c. Warren. W. Wissner and O. Pongrace as its representa- tives.
 The interscholastic medley championship race has drawn a field of 3S high and prep schools, including Hamilton Collegiate In- stitute of Canada, defending cham pien.
