LONDON. April THE sixty-third annual
boat race between crews representative Of
Oxford and Cambridge was rowed today
over the usual course. from Putney to Mort
lake on the Thames. a distance OF q little
over four and a half miles, and was won
by Cambridge by three and O half lengths,
after an unexciting race. Time, 10 minutes
"A seconds.
Cambridge took the lead from the start
and was never in the slightest danger of
being overhauled. The Oxford men strue-
Eied gamely to the end. but the work was
so Furnishing that several of them collapsed
at the finish
Seldom had the weather been SO perfect
for the great English boat race The day
was bright and sunny, the wind was very
iight, the water was smooth and there was
very little choice in the stations. Enormous
crowds thronged all parts of the course.
Oxford Won the Toss.

first, pulling thirty-eight strokes during the

mile from the start, was reached.
thereafter Cambridge drew away with

cambridge already had the race well in
nand with lead of over two lengths. The
oXIord boat at that stage of the race was
rolling badly. Shortly afterward the OK
FORD men spurted little and took their
rivals water. but from that time on 1t
was merely a procession, though the OK
ioId oarsmen stuck to their work in a most
persevering manner. Cambridge shot past
barnes bridge, at little over three and

lengths in front of the Oxford boat. some

signs of distress
Cambridge could have won practically by
any distance they liked. but their stroke
slowed down on nearing the finish and
Cambridge passed the winning post the
easiest of winners.
Todays Oxford-Cambridge boat race was
the sixty-third contest between crews of
the two great English universities Since
1893 the races have been held annually.
