THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACK
This annual boat race was rowed on Saturday, and for
the first time since lstii victory fell to the lot of the Dark
Blues. Cambridge started with a stroke of 38 to the
minute, and Oxford with one of 3:k the space at one period
of the contest having been quickened to and 36 respect-
ively. The Light Blues led for some little distance, but
gradually the lung stsguly pull of the Oxonians told in
their favour, and they shot the centre span of Hammers
amithliridge with a lead of three-quarters of a length.
The most gallant efforts on the part of the Cambridge
crew failed to overtake their opponents, who at Chiswick
Eyot led by four lengths, at Barnes by six, and at
Mortlake by ten, the Light Blues being there described as
hopelessly beaten amid distres,sed. The defeat of the
Cambridge men by such a distance may be partly accounted
for lip the statement that Craven Cottage No. 3 in the
('oat broke his slide, which prevented his being of any use
fur the remainder of the race.
