President Walter Dill Scott of Northwestern was asked to appear before representatives of the North Central today to explain the stand his school assumed in asking investigators to suspend their activities at the Evanston institution. If Northwestern should decide to withhold the incompleted report of the North Central investigators, that school automatically would - be left off the association’s list of approved institutions Members of the North Central have a rule which specifies that athletic contests will not be scheduled with schools which have been dropped from the accredited list because of failure to abide by its athletic standards. Northwestern, according to President. H. M.

BY VIRGIL PINKLEY, Uelt©d Press Sta g Correspondent FUTNEY-ON-THAMES, England, March 19.—Hard workouts today and a light drill Friday will complete the preparations of rival crews for Saturday’s annual Oxford-Cam-bridge crew race.

The final acceptance stage closed Wednesday. Scratches between now and the day of the race may cut the field down to the neighborhood of forty.

to 6 to 5. Today water critics are stressing Cambridge’s bursts of speed and Oxford’s apparent staying qualities. Over a short distance Cambridge would be heavy favorites but over the four and one-fourth-mile grind Oxford’s chances of victory loom large. T. A. Brocklebank continues to impress with his spirited stroking. If rough water greets the crews Saturday afternoon the experience of Brocklebank and his ability to keep his crew steady may prove even a greater asset than Cambridge supporters realize. Veteran rivermen rate him as the greatest racing stroke developed in Great Britain since the war and the man who will probably stroke the British crew in the 1932 Olympics.
