MANY ETONIANS GIVEN OXFORD TRIAL

DARK BLUE CREWS BEST FOR YEAR

ONE

(By “THE TWELFTH MAN”)

London, November 25. NE of the big features of the present Oxford Trial Eights is the number of Eton oarsmen in the crews. After this year, when not a single Etonian rowed in either Boat Race crew, it is a good sign to see this stronghold of public school rowing returning to favour at the Universities.

Oxford have six Eton men in the trial crews in A. B. Hodgson, R. R. Stewart, J.L. Garton, R. D. Burnell, R. G. Rowe

and D. B. E. Mynors, and, in addition, W. Ainley and Nigel Parker have both been given trials.

A friend who has been watching the crews in training tells me that there is a solid foundation for Oxford's confidence. The general opinion is that these Dark Blue crews are the best for some years, and that J. S. Lewes, the president, has done an exceedingly good job in sifting so well the material at his disposal.

COMPLICATIONS IN FOORD FIGHT

WILL MEET PETERSEN

ON FEBRUARY 1 BUT TITLES NOT AT STAKE

(By HAROLD LEWIS)

London, November 27.

IT has now been decided to stage the return

fight between Ben Foord, British heavy- weight champion, and Jack Petersen, the former champion, on February 1 at the Harringay Arena

but not to describe it as for the British heavy- weight championship.

The latter decision follows the announcement by the British Far before qualifying for a return title match. Meanwhile, Board of Boxing Control that, Petersen must first beat Tommy

Eddie Phillips, the London heavyweight, has also come forward with a challenge to Foord because he has beaten Fart.

The Board's attitude is perfectly logical up to a point. Petersen's defeat by Foord at Leicester-last August, was, so drastic that, in the presence of other challengers, he could not
