Two Giants Meet At Wembley
OXFORD WIN AFTER 5 YEARS ENGLAND-SCOTLAND GAME
After a string of defeats that had lasted since 1954, and a weiter of pre-race wrangles over couching and policy. Oxford fast Saturday week finally managed a win in the Varsily boat ruce finishing in 18 minutes 52 seconds a convincing six lengths ahead of Cam- bridge.
The race the 105th-was a straightaway win, with Oxford, stroked by J, R. H. Lander (Shrewsbury and Christ Church) taking a canvas lend in the first minute, und gradually extending it throughout the race, though consistently striking a lower rate than Cambridge stroked by M. B. Malthy (Bedford and Pembroke).
Incidentally This was the first Oxford crew for some years to fake to the tideway with an all-English eight.

IS THE CLIMAX OF
THEIR GREAT CAREERS
By TOM FINNEY
(Or Preston North End and England)
As the English and Scottish teams leave the Wembley dressing. rooms on April 11 and step into the long hospital-white corridor which loads to the arena, my thoughts will be with two men..., fair-haired Billy Wright and dark-jowled Andy Beatty.
Both are close friends of mine and both will have good reason to remember this game long after their memories of most other matches have faded.
For Billy, it will be the hundredth time he has played for England, und for Andy- the newly-appointed
Scotush manager-lt wii be the ellmax of a great comeback story.

CANADA CUP GOLF SCHOOL
Aim for par
and take to
the woods!
BY DAI REES
(Wales and South Herts)
DAI SES
MY favourite shot is a long wood to the
green. The club I use for it is my favourite No. 4 wood or a No. 3 wood. I rank this shot second only to those vital patts. It can, I firmly believe, make or break a good
score.
It is equal in value to the tiger or the average golfer. If the tiger is the rhuster of his spoon shots then he can be looking for birdies at all the par 5 holds.
If Mr Average Player is having a dificult time with the No. 2 and 3 irons he can get a lot of relief with a spoon shot-particularly with the No. 4 wood.
The broad-soled, lofted No. 4, with its narrow head to get into the nooks and crannies of the fair- ways, is the ideal club to counter indifferent or cuppy lies.
It is a club that certainly no woman golfer should be without. It is equally indispensable to men players who are not, for physical reasons or because of their limited amount of golf; strong in the wrists.
WATCH THOSE FEET
Now for playing this long fairway wood shot-It Is the same for the No. 3 or No. 4 wood.
THE KEY TO THE SHOT IS THE CORRECT POSITION OF THE BALL IN RELATION TO THE FEET.
With the feet square to the intended line of flight, a line drawn from the ball should strike a spot two inches inside the left heel for the two spoons
for the driver it is just inside the left heel. Swing just as you do for any other shot.
A firul point-pay particular attention to your lining up the shot. It is about the longest you will play to the definite target of a green. Any error. will be magnified at the far end.
AND THOSE INCHES
As I have been asked to launch this series I will throw in an early season tip for good measure,,
It concerns those extra inches you may have added round the middle. Here's how to beat them:--
Concentrate on trying to take the club a little bit further in the back swing.
At the same time make sure the left shoulder is kept well down and that when the back, swing is completed the ball can be SEEN OVER THE LEFT SHOULDER.
