was due but certainly not than seven men out OF
the lG deserved it oxford have deserted their ancient
practice in the important particular which has
won them this race, the OF the legs Thsy we're un
deplably indifferent crew and yet they have gained
the laurel This fact s take IT, very significant one;
il speaks yolumes for the vicious principles which have
been SO long ncucaed at Cambridge, and We see no
possible hope of their again securing the
Victory unless radical change be enectcd.
A ruinor Is prevalent that there Will be no race

Grsntas sons reform their ways, and follow implicitly
