London. March 2S. Oxford lowered
the Cambridge colors today In the an
nual regatta on the Thames, winning by
three and one-half lengths after a race
of four and one-half miles. The dis
tance was made by Oxford In 20 min
utes, 14 seconds, which Is 27 seconds
behind the record time.
' The Oxford crew was In fine fettle
and shortly after the first mile mark
had been passed they showed their su
periority over Cambridge and the result
from thHt point was never In doubt.
The race held the greatest Interest for
thousands of persons who lined both
banks of the Thames to witness the
most Important event In the yearly ath
letic calendar of Kngland.
Cambridge la Earlj Lead.
Starting frorn Putney on the Thames
the crews raced for the first mile with
the Cambridge boat a quarter of a
length In the lead. After the first mile
the Oxford eight Blowiy closed upon
their rivals and soon nosed Into the
lead. From then on the Oxford crew
was never headed.
The average weight of the Oxford
crew was 176 pounds; that of Cam
bridge, 172 V The Cambridge oars hit
the water at 12:27 and the Oxfords
followed at 12:30.
Cambridge began with a atroke of 36
and Oxford 15. Cambridge clung to the
86 stroke but after a mile, began to
tire. At Jiammeramlth bridge, a third
of the distance, Oxford led by three
fourths of a length and was so confi
dent of winning that aha dropped her
.stroke to 34.
Cat XKw X.ea.
Cambridge made a final spurt near
the half way point and succeeded In
'" cutting down Oxford's length and a half
lead to an even boat length. Oxford
thereafter rowed steadily and Increased
her leud to three and a half lengths
Quite a distance before the finish.
Oxford was a hot favorite. At the
toss for position, Cambridge won and
chose the Middlesex side of the river;
Oxford having the Surrey side. There
was scarcely enough wind to auffle the
water. This was of advantage to Cam
bridge as she had a lighter crew.
Th meet was the sixty-sixth annual
race tetween Oxford and Cambridge and
was along the Thames from I'utnam to
Mortlaka.
Kiver Banks Lined.
, - The river was lined on both banks
throughout the entire four and one-half
miles of the course with thousands of
' shrieking enthusiasts who shouted the
names of their favorite eights and
. waved the colors of the respective uni
versitiesdark blue for Oxford, light
blue for Cambridge.
Oxford colors predominated. The Ox
ford eight were in splendid condition.
The cantiibs, on the other hand, were
generally voted too light. They looked
as though they were overworked. Re
cent changes in the crew, furthermore,
seemed to have unsettled the men. Their
stroke, II. J. S. Shields, was criticised
for the short stabbing thrust of his
oar, which compared most unfavorably
''with the effective swing of t lie rival

Washington Coming Strong in
Endeavor to Wipe Out De
feat Last Year.
Corvallls. Or., March 2.1. The Indoor
athletic season will wind up early in
April when the 1'nlverslty of Washing
ton sends Its team of grapplers to wrest
the conference championship honors
from Oregon Agricultural college's
husky team.
Washington was much chagrined last
year when their tjam journeyed to Cor
vallls and was decidedly beaten by the
Heavers. In all of the seven weights
from the 116 pound class to heavy
weight, the Oregon Agricultural college
team won. Defeat Is not graciously ac
cepted by the Seattle institution and
under the tutelage of Frank Vance, the
Seattle Athletic club coach. Washington
has been working all winter to develop
a team to beat Oregon Agricultural col
lege. At Corvallls the wrestling interests
have been in the hands of James Arbu
thot, who was secured tills winter as a I
education. Arbuthot has had consider
able experience and success in both
wrestling and boxing. He had charge
of the athletic Interests successively of
the Roslyn (Washington) Y. M. C. A.,
the Aberdeen Athletic club and later
was director of the extension work of
physical education for the Portland Y.
M. C. A. Arbuthot has done exception
ally well at the Oregon Agricultural col
lege and his earnest Interest In the work
has won the esteem of his pupils. He
has taught the old men many new wrin
kles In the grand old mat game and they
have improved wonderfully under his
Instruction. He Is handicapped, how
ever, by having only four of last year's
championship teftm, and there Is diffi
culty In finding men of class to, suc
ceed McHenry in the 125 pound class;
Smith, the conference champion heavy
weight, and Evenden, who wus counted
upon to be one of the strong men on
the team this year.

Former White Sox Speed Mar
vel Says Dutch Will Be
Best Backstop.
Let me tell you something," chimed
In Dave Altlzer, the ex-Chicago White
Sox fielder, who is visiting in Port
land en route to Join Minneapolis of
the American association, during a
fanning bee in Fielder Jones' office this
morning; "and that is this, If Charley
Armbruster's arm is anything like It
used to be, he will be the greatest back
stop ever seen on this coast.
"If he Is coming around as the news
paper correspondents say he Is. I pre
dict that MeCredlo will get an offer of
better than $5000 for him before the
season Is over.
"When I was at the height of my
career with Chicago It was generally
conceded that I was one of the fastest
base runners In the business. None of
the catchers ever had anything on me
none except this same chap Armbruster.
Whenever we played Iloston, I remem
ber. I had to hug the bases like a
leech. He had a great arm then, but
was apt to fall off the wagon occa
sionally. "Charley Comlskey took a chance
with Ruster,' and paid $1500 to Bos
ton for him. He performed In a few
games but went off for a time the first
payday. Commy called him and threat
ened dire things If Buster dismounted
again. Right after the next payday,
'Dutch' took a flying leap and Commy
has never seen him since. That's how
McC.edie got him so easily.
"I always thought that Armbruster
would cut out the grape some day and
he himself has given us the tip that
he means business. There are few
prettier receivers and when he was
right, few could throw better. With
the booze out of that good right arm of
his, look for the Teuton to be some
catcher this year.
"And that prediction still goes that if
Buster keeps up his present lick, McCre
die will let an offer of around six

28 years old, has been playing only

Every Seat in Great Arena Will
Be Reserved for the
Big Fight.
San Francisco, March 22. With the
first plans for the big arena at Emery
ville now laid out by the architects.
the gigantic undertaking by the
of Rlekard and Qleason can best
pictured In mind. The arena as
now planned on paper will be the great
est amphitheatre known to the history
of modern ring gladiators. The facts as
gleaned from figures, make the con
struction of the arena the biggest un
dertaking ever entered Into by promo
ers.
Situated In the Infield of the Emery
ville track, the arena will be approxi
mately 320 feet between two sides and
octagonal in shape. The arena has been
designed to seat 80,000, with an addi
tional 20,000 or more If the occasion
demands It. Half a million feet of lum
ber will be required for Its construc
tion. The fl4le arrangement will make It an
easy matter for all to be put in their
proper seats. The aisle room Is un
usually Inrge, the narrowest being 12
feet.
Looking away from the ring the house
Is divided Into three great sections.
The nearest section to the ring will
contain the press and box seats. There
are 162 press seats, and outside of these
the seats In the first division will range
from $30 to $60.
The second or central section Includes
the great heart of the house, and the
third takes In the outer fringe, com
monly known as the bleachers.
In these two dlvlsysns the prloes will
range from $5 to $25. The exact loca
tion of the different priced seats has
not yet been determined by the pro
moters. There will be no bleacher seats
In the house as all will be reserved and
the promoters will take unusual precau
tions to see that each man sits In the
seat he pays for and no other.
