River May Be Rough
Today as Yale Crew
Battles Cambridge
By the Assoeiated Press

DERBY. Conn, April 14.-Cam.
bridge University's smooth ane
veteran crew meets Yale at 4 pm
today in the first internationa,
collegiate rowing race ever held
in the United States.
Cambridge is favored because il
lis in top shape after it's winter
season while Yale is still CROPPING
to find the right combination at
the start of the spring campaign
There is always a chance Yale
can rise to the OCCASION" Jim
Rathschmidt, it's new coach, says.
A crowd of $4,000 is expected
along the Housatonic for the mile
and three-quarters race. Weather
conditions are not too good with
the possibility the water may be
rough.
River Likened to Henley.
"The river is quite similar to
our own Henley" Harold Rickett,
British coach says, land quite un-
like the Thames with all its logs,
tugs, dead dogs, barrels and
crates"
Yale has a new stroke, Norton
Stevens, jr., 175-pounder from
Darien, Conn. He was brought
from No. 2 to stroke, key man in
the shell, in last-minute change.
Last year he was only in Yale's
third-string shell.
Cambridge will be stroked by
David JennenS, who weighs ITS,
and who set the pace for Cam
bridges decisive victory over Ok
ford last month.
Shells Much Alike.
The Cambridge shell was waxed
by its oarsmen Thursday night
and before the final workout yes
terday the boys carefully rubbed
down the boat.
Yale will be using a new Pocock
shell acquired only a week ago.
The two shells are much alike in
construction, except the seats in
the American one are more form
fitting.
English shells row all winter
while American crews are still
practicing indoors. It is for th.-
reason. plus impressive time trials,
that Cambridge has been installed
as favorite. Despite the differ
ence in rowing style-the English
lean far back at the end of the
stroke-the Americans have been
quick to concede that Cambridge
rows together very smoothly.

Uncle MiItie Matched
Against 10 Speedsters
In Experimental No. 7
By John ChondIer
Associoied Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, April 14.-Uncle
Miltie, who promises to earn more
money for Owner Joseph j. CO.
lando than his Lodi IN. j. bank,
goes on television for the first
time today in the $25,00o-added
Experimental Handicap. No. 2, at
Jamaica.
This is the bay son Of Heather
Broom, a rags to riches colt who
in one race last Monday stamped
himself as the current favorite
for the Kentucky Derby.
(The pm. race will be tele.
vised in Washington by WNBW.
Channel 4. Station WMAL will
broadcast the event.)
OF his brilliant race Monday,
when he soundly trounced such
stars as Battlefield and Big
Stretch. Uncle Miltie has been
rating headlines all week.
Ten Others in Race.
However. although Battlefield
and Big Stretch ducked the issue,
10 others have been matched
against Uncle Miltie in the 1l16-
mile event. Maybe, it was hoped.
Uncle Miltie would run into some
bad luck-such as Hill Prince did
a year ago.
Hill Prince was the big horse
in the No. 2 Experimental then,
but he drew an outside pos posi-
ton and finished ninth.
Uncle Miltie also has drawn an
outside post. No. II. for this race.
However. where Hill Prince is q
big horse who gets into trouble.
Uncle Miltie has showed he can
step out and travel early.
Jockey Hedley Woodhouse,
who'll ride the Colando flyer,
probably won't waste time out of
the starting gate. He can't afford
to, for the start is in front Of
the stands, and it's only an eighth
of a mile to the sharp first turn
where Hill Prince got into close
quarters last year.
That day, a lightweight named
Isotowhite under lot pounds won
the race.
Carries High Weight.
Uncle Miltie. who has captured
the fancy of New York turf fans
and may be another Stymie IL
drawing power, must carry high
weight of 1875 pounds.
Others entered are King Ranch,s
Sonic, los; Hal Price Headley's
Jumbo, ITO; Jack Amiel's Count
Turf, 112; the Phantom Farms
Nullify, 119, and Father Tiber,
102; Sam Mason's To Market, 121;
Rubin Kowall's Pur Sang, 10;
Greentree's Hall of Fame, 106;
Cain Hoy Stables Battle Morn,
and Ralph Loves Pictus, 115.
Battlefield, the George D.
Widener Derby hope, expects to
start in the $4,000 Wood Mem
orial here next Saturday against
Uncle Miltie. Big Stretch, Green
trees Derby hopeful, leaves Mon
day for Kentucky to start in the
$4,000 Blue Grass Stakes at

Mary Freeman Seeks
Third Crown Today
In Indoor SWIMMING
BY the Associated Press

HOUSTON, April 14.-Mary
Freeman, a 17-year-old Washing
ton girl with two new National
swimming titles already tucked
away, goes after a third today.
The George Washington Uni
versity freshman threatens to
monopolize racing championships
of the National AAU women's in
door swimming meet.
The blond youngster swan the
200-yard backstroke in minutes
32.1 seconds and 300 individual
medley in minutes 6.3 seconds
to earn two crowns yesterday and
was a top favorite in today's 100
yard backstroke. She is to wind
up three days of busy competition
tomorrow by entering the 100-yard
breaststroke and 200-yard free
style.
Champs Seek Further Laurels.
Two other champions named
yesterday also will seek further
laurels.
Jackie Lavine, Chicago, who re-
gained the 100-yard freestyle
championship she held in 1949,
was to defend her 400-yard free
style title today.
Barbara Hobelmann. another
Washington girl. will compete in
the 400-vard freeStyle.
Pat Mccormick, Los Angeles,
will attempt tomorrow to complete
her monopoly on indoor and out
door diving titles. Winner of
three outdoor divisions last year,
Pat took the indoor 1-meter yes
terday. Tomorrow she will give
attention to the 3-meter crown
now owned by Mary Frances Cum
ningham of Lafayette, Ind. Pat
nosed out Mary Frances in the
1-meter by 4.80 points.
Wind Hampers Swimmers.
Other events scheduled today
included the 2Oo-yard breast
stroke, with Carol Pence, Lafay-
cite. Ind :, the defending cham
pion. and the 400-yard freestyle
relay, now held by the Town Club
of Chicago.
AAU officials were confident
faster times would have been re-
corded in the first three racing
events had not a Is to 80 mile
wind been blowing across the
Shamrock Hotels big outdoor
pool.
The Weather Bureau predicted
continued wind gusts today.
Three defending champions lost
their titles yesterday, including
Barbara Jensen, San Francisco
veteran. Miss Jensen's 4:21.7 inI
the medley was 7 seconds off the
sixth best qualifying time.
Marie Corridor, New York City
placed fifth in the 100-yard free
style, while Maureen O'Brien, Chi
cago, had to settle for third I'M
