OFFICIALS WORRIED
Say They Fear Balance of
! SI 9,00(1 May Not Be
1 Collected
With subscriptions coming in .
from less than Tift per cent of the
people interviewed, and only one
third of the list of prospects solicil-
ed, officials in the United Communi
ty corporation drive are worried for '
fear the needed balance of $1 9.900 i
will not. lie forthcoming.
According to the reports made
yesterday, live per cent of the p o
ple approached said they were un
cble lo give, two per cent Hatly re-
fused, two per cent were unable 1" 1
give because of illness, four persons
out. of 107S v.'ere found who could
not speak Knglish and one prospect
was dead. That New Britain is a city
of people who are out a large part
of the time would seem to he in- j
dicated by reports that 22 per cent
were found "not. at home." Seven
per cent have moved and lett no
forwarding address. live per cent i
more could not be located and nine I
per cent of the solicitors on the city ',
teams made no memorandum on i
their cards.
Of the balance 1(1 per cent sub
scribed. 22 per cent reported having
given elsewhere and five per cent, n
portod that others gave for them. ;
This totals 47 per ce-nt, or less than j
half the number of prospects. I
For the entire week to date sub-
scriptions have been recejv. from;
only L'74 persons, while fi7l!2 cards j
have been returned. This means that
of the. total number of cards brought ,
back only 23 1-3 per cent actually
brought, in subscriptions, with only
one more day of the drive left '
Another thing which has the di-!
r.Jt-tors worried is the fact that of!
the total of 15, PCS cards which were '
sent out during the week, only fi.732
hav. been returned In Ave davs,
leaving 1 1 , S fi to come back in one
more day.
Thousands of people who are in
the mood to give have not yet been
approached, and many people who
should give, according to the officials '
have not been "sold" on the drive, i
Director General I.. V. Young to
day announced tha the city is wide

CAMBRIDGE CREW IS
WINNER OVER OXFORD
Victorious Oarsmen Are
Pepped Up by Sugar
as Stimulant
Putney, England, March 27 CP)
mo Cambridge varsity crew, with a
substitute rowing at No. 4, defeated
their old rivals of Oxford by five
lengths today in one of tho finest
races seen on tho Thames In year.
At the start there was littlo to
choose between the two eights, al
though Oxford was slightly the
favorite. It, was a gruelling race,
from the beginning at Putney over
the. four and one-quarter mile
ceiursc to Mortlnke. but when Cam
bridge flashed over the line, hardly
a man In her boat seemed in dis
tress, while several of the Oxford
crew were in a state of collapse.
The official time was 19 minutes,
23 seconds, which is Just a minute
slower than the record established
by Oxford In 1911.
Oxford won the toss for position
and choose the south side of the river.
The Dark Blues led slightly for most
of the first two miles, but did not
seem to have much in reserve. Then
Cambridge. although rowing a
somewhat longer course around tho
big horseshoe bend at Hommersmith,
took the lead and kept it to the end.
It is reported that Cambridge
tried out a new stimulant, each
member of the crew taking two tea
spoonsful of brown sugar just before
the start, but the Cambridge trainer
was not inclined to talk about Hm
report after the race.
I Tlie efficacy of sugar as a stimu-
hint is well known, but English
i crews have not tried it heretofore,
so fare as is known,
j Great crowds took advantage of
the beautiful sunshiny weather to
witness the race.
The victory was the S7th for
j Cambridge in the long series and tho
mini m successive years. Oxford
has won forty time. The race in 1S77
was a dead heat.
Last year's race ended sensation
ally when the Oxford crew was
forced to abandon the contest owing
to tho waterlogged condition of their
shell.
