...automobile, boat, blimp, bombing plane, autogiro and snowshoe, agents of the Bureau of Biological Survey, game wardens, State police, collegians and private volunteers have for months been quietly scouting lakes, ponds, marshes and ocean inlets from Canada to Mexico. Last week the Biological Survey announced their findings. They had counted some 9,500,000 wild ducks and geese, estimated as one-quarter of the North American wildfowl population. For 5,000,000 U. S. wildfowlers that was cheering news. It marked the second consecutive year of duck increase. Duck Recovery to oldtime abundance, however, was still a long...
Inter-varsity rowing, in the thoughts of all true Britishers, begins and ends before the U. S. rowing season starts-with "The Boat Race" between Oxford (Dark Blue) and Cambridge (Light Blue), over four miles of the Thames between Putney Bridge and Mortlake Brewery. Almost as much of a tradition as the boat race itself is its result. Before last week's race, Cambridge had won 13 in a row, lost only one since the War. After a false start, the race started out as usual last week: Cambridge, in the Surrey-side lane, pulled around the first curve...
...spectators on the banks knew how the race must end. For a few lengths, Cambridge's U. S. coxswain, Hunter, and Oxford's Merifield-replacing 56-lb. Hart Massey who was so minute that his crew would have needed a special shell (TIME, Feb. 1) -steered their boats so close that from the bank it looked as though the oars might lock. Then, with Hodgson at stroke, Sturrock and Cherry, veterans of England's Olympic crew, in the next two slides, Oxford began to draw away. Its lead was a boat's length at Barnes Bridge...
...Boat Race crowd-anywhere from 300,000 to 1,000,000, depending on the weather-is usually the biggest sports crowd of the year. Last week it was not so large as usual because the tides made it impossible to hold the race on a Saturday. The disturbances in London which always mark Boat Race evening were correspondingly more jolly. Three record-breaking trials had put Oxford undergraduates in fine fettle before the race was rowed. To celebrate, they rioted so jubilantly in the theatres that performances were stopped, tried as usual to raze the statue of Eros in Piccadilly...
Four concerts have been planned for the Glee Club on its annual spring trip to New York, which will start Thursday, when 63 men will embark on the boat in time to arrive for the first concert on Friday night...
