Acadia. University swept to a dec- isive 41-36‘ victory over Mount Allison tonight in a. sudden-death

e for the Maritime Intercol- Bkiate Basketball Championship held by Acadia for the last three

years.

Brilliant combination plays which bafifled the Mounties rear guard time af time were the chief factors building up an early lead, threatened only once midway through the final half when the New Brunswick squad drew up to within a point of their rivals.

Mount Allison's best stand was made in that half . Fighting des- perately to overcome a. 22-11 lead that Acadia established in the first half, the Mounties dropped basket afteir basket. some of them

from sensational angles. in a whirlwind offensive display Uhat had Acadia groggy. The attack

pulled Mt. A. to within a point of a tie-QB-fi-but there lt sputter- ed and died after Acadia called time out. _

An Acadia score immediately af- ter play was resumed. restored the Nova Scotlans‘ confidence and they gradually forged away.

LONDON. March 16—(CP Cable) —F'orty of the world's best Junip- ers today were named final accep- tors for the Grand National. most exciting of all steeplechases. to be run at Aintree, near Liverpool, Friday of next week.

For the first time in the big event's century of annual renew- als. a. Canadian horse, bred and trained in the Dominion, will try for the greatest of all jumping honors.

Rock Lad. owned by H. R. Bain.‘ a Toronto stockbroker. was among the final acceptors and will be rid- den by J. Bissill. a well-known amateur jockey. Mr. Baln. how- ever. said he believes Rock Lad has little chance of measuring up to the great qualities a Grand Na- tional victor must‘ have.

The field of 40 includes the 1937 winner and current favorite. Royal Mail, as well as four jumpers that have been favorites at various times during the past few weeks- Marquis De Sanmiguefs six-year- old French gelding. Takvor Pacha: Sir Francis Towle’s Airgead Sioe. the "horse with the weak heart": Arthur Sainsburys Blue Shirt; and Delachance. a veteran of the Ain- tree country. owned by J. B. Snow. an American.

In a callover of odds at the Vic- toria Club tonight Royal Mail. who was bought by Mrs. Camille Evans following the death of Hugh Lloyd Thomas. his previous owner. retained his favorites place at 100

to 7.
