Cambridge Threw Away The
Last Boat Race
By Conrad Skinner
One question has been put to me with quite monotonous fre- quency since last boat race: "Can Oxford keep it up or was 1937 merely a flash in the pan?"
I appreciate this implied confidence after my dynamited fore cast; but that question is precisely the one I am not prepared to answer, for the following reasons:
now-or-never
Oxford's position last season was a one. They had a strong crew, a good reserve crew, coaching that communded confidence, and Inspiring president. This year Oxford lose invaluable veterans Ilke Sturrock and Cherry, and, although Isis crews have shown that general interlat is defnitely on the up-grade, there is still far to go in order to match Cambridge in respect of that abundance which maintains varsity standard.
:
In 1837 there was neither tide to lose nor basking threats to imperll. If that short-cut paid so handsomely when a normal fide had to be sacri ficed, what was not possible to an adventurous crew in 1937 conditions?
Hud I had the control, and we had won the toss, I should have insisted on inking Middlesex, or else instituted a sit-out strike! Then, leaving Ox- ford at Beverley Brook to its Surrey "dal" sweep, I should have hugged my Fulham bend round to the Crab- tree, or at least past Walden's; and, before straightening to shoot Ham- mersmith, should have left Oxford "out of sight."
MISTAKEN TACTICS Analysis of the replications of the 1937 victory is not simple. As a spectaelo, the race was, of course,
Now It true that Merifield, veer- magnificent the most thrilling con- test for many years-and any writhing somewhat towards Middlesex, ing of spirit on my part was not due made light use of this unusuni to partisanship.

LESSON OF 1910 Why, in 1910, Cambridge, handi- capped by a bad crab and a neces- sary easy to recover from it, and knowing that for so light a crew all hung on the essential lead at Ham- mersmith, threw tide and caution to the winds and steered over Fulham fints (which in that day were peril- ously studded with pieces of concrete and old boller, capable of ripping the bottom out of an eight), clipped Ful- ham wall on a curving tangent, and

PESTS TRY TO RUIN
SOCCER PLAYERS
(By Stanley Halsey)
A new type of scandalmonger has cropped up in football, according to Mr. Arthur Turner, 'Spurs secretary. He is a dirt slinger, and is known as the "Masquerader."
Fentured together for the first line, John Howard and Louise Campbell, two of the screen's popular youthful players, appear in "Bulldog Drum- mand Comes Back," which opens at the Queen's Theatre to-day.
