Prospects Of Boat Race Discussed

London. Mar, 22,

Oxford University's eight will strive its hardest to break Cam- bridge's sequence of boat ruce wins on Wednesday, although betting has reached five to one on the Eight Blues, in some quarters.

Nevertheless, a large number of people anticipate a close race.

The Oxford crew will weigh 111. stone à pounds, which is four stone heavier trian Cambridge, and con- stitutes one of the heaviest crews on record. This weight will be a special benent as the race will be rowed on a strong flood tide, which is likely to prevent records.

Against Oxford's power and stow- er stroke, Cambridge brings better blade-work and more experience. The question is: Can Oxford's best crew in many years beat a Cam- bridge boat which is not quite up to standard? The toss is likely to be an important factor.

Oxford's record, made during a practice, is most flattering, as the crew rowed on an ebb tide on that occasion.

This is the first time that the boat race, has been" rowed in the middle of the week for many years.

Cambridge has established questionable record by failing to row a full course during a trial.

A central boller provides hot water for baths and ablution rooms, steam for the cookers and for heating. Special rooms are also available for drying clothes and cleaning equipment. Each man is given a steel wardrobe with 11 8 ample room for his belongings.

There is no authority for the 13 2 general provision of swimming baths in the Army. On this point 12 9 the Report states that if it were accepted that swimming should constitute part of the soldier's training, he should be given full facilities under conditions which would be acceptable not only to" the public health authorities, but also to the bathers.

ST. MARY'S RETORT

It is the contention of St. Mary's College that these scholarships are primarily awarded on scholastic achievements. It is also pointed out that the last four Rugby inter- nationals to come to London how- pitals have all gone to other hos pitals-two to Guy's, and one each to St. Bartholomew's and St. Thomas's. Other hospitals are convinced that the terms of the award must have their effect, and suggest that St. Mary's run of football success is likely to be continued.

It was a result of the adoption by St. Mary's of the "Rhodes scholar" method of award, that Guy's, St. Bartholomew's, and St. Thomas's decided in 1931-2 to in- troduce their present system of a joint scholarship examination for the three hospitals. Mr. R. C. 8. Dick, the present Guy's Hospital captain, was elected to a scholar- ship in this examination.

Previously, and as a result of the criticisms raised by other hospitals, the St. Mary's system had been subject to the scrutiny of an im-. partial committee. The result was the continuance of the system.
