OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE,

OXFORD, Wednesday Evening,
Although it was thought the severity cf the weather
would have deterred the Oxonians from rowing over the
long course yesterday the crew went dowii, for the first
time, in the afternoon and rowed from Sandford to Nune-
ham railway bridge, where their career was stopped by
masses of ice which blocked up the river. It will be seen
by the following names that many changes have recently
taken place, Mr. Awdrey, of Balliol, having taken Mr. War.
man's place as No. 2, and Mr, Pocklington having replaced
Mr. Brown as stroke, and the crew, although not yet in
active training (which they commence this day) have given
general satisfaction. Although a change or two may take
place, the following gentlemen will probably represent
Oxford in this important contest :

st lb
1. C. P. Roberts, Trinity College
2. W. Awdrey, Balliol
3. F. H. Kelly, University l2 0
4. J. C. Parson, Trinity
5. W. B. Jacobson, Christ Church l2 9
6. A. E. Seymour, University
7. M. Brown, Trinity
Stroke—D. Pocklington, Brasenose College 11 9
Coxewain—C. R. W. Tottenham, Christ Church.
As usual, the Oxoaians have a heavy crew, although
perhaps not so heavy as the Cambridge, and, exclusive of
the coxswain, they will average nearly 12st—a weight
which training will somewhat modify. The crew will be
steered by Mr: Tottenham, of Christ Church, who will be
remembered as the Etonian coxswain of last year, and the
race will, without doubt, take place on the 19th of March
about noon:
