A running commentary by John Snagge from the launch Magician, following the crews
John Snagge , expert broadcaster and prince of boat-race commentators, will have with him in the launch two expert oarsmen whom he may call upon at any moment-To A. Brocklebank , who stroked the Cambridge boat to victory three years in succession, and E. G. Tomlin , who rowed for Oxford in 1935. Another expert broadcaster in Thomas Woodrooffe will be on the roof of Harrod's warehouse to tell listeners the distance between the boats, a distance which those in the launch behind can only guess at.

at Crowle
The Worcestershire Hunt
Point-to-Point
A running commentary on the race for Lady Dudley's Cup by Major G. Phipps-Hornby from Crowle
It is of interest that this meeting is held at Crowle Green, a few miles from Droitwich. The race for Lady Dudley's Cup is one of the most famous point-to-point races in the country. The gallop is over four miles of grass and hunting fences, and it is a condition of the race that every entry has been hunted regularly during the season. Major Geoffrey Phipps-Hornby , who described the race last year, will be in the paddock, which will give him a commanding view of the whole course.

A commentary on the first heat by F. J. Findon at the Grand Stand and Michael Standing at the Pond
Hairpin from the Crystal Palace Road Racing
Circuit
The specially constructed road circuit at the Crystal Palace, London,
[Continued overleaf
will be the scene of two exciting heats (the first to be broadcast at 3.40, the second at 4.20), and prpbably an even more exciting final when the Coronation Trophy Race organised by the Road Racing Club is run off. (This will be broadcast at 5.45.)Each heat will consist of 20 miles, that is, 10 laps of the two-mile circuit, but the final will be extended to 32 miles. At the time of writing the entry includes two of Lord Austin's racing ' Sevens ', Bira, driving Prince Chula's E.R.A., Arthur Dobson in a similar make of car, four Delahayes, and that popular Midland sportsman, Percy Maclure, at the wheel of a Riley. F. J. Findon, editor of The Light Car, will be at the Grand Stand. His commentating box overlooks the starting line, and the cars will roar past within two or three feet of the microphone. On the far side, at Pond Hairpin, Michael Standing will be in a position to see the cars race along the Terrace Straight. He will lose them in the Glade to see them again rushing towards him at Fisherman's Rise to negotiate the tricky corner where he will he stationed. Findon will pick them up again coming down New Zealand Hill towards Stadium Dip, opposite the Grand Stand. Thus listeners will hear the continuous progress of the race.
