ENGLAND'S CREW
CLASSIC TOMORROW
Oxford and Cambridge Meet in
Sixty-Sixth Regatta

The first of the big rowing classics OF
the year will be decided in England to-
morrow, when the eight-oared crews OF
Oxford and Cambridge universities meet
on the Thames river in the sixty-sixth
annual regatta. For sixty-tive years the
representatives of these rival institutions
have met in dual competition over the
same course, and never once has there
been the semblance of a break in their
relations. From the first meeting of the
crews until now the interest in the event
has been of the keenest and the indica-
lions are that long before the two boats
paddle to the start at Putney shortly
after noon tomorrow vast throngs of
ardent rowing enthusiasts will line both
banks of the river to the finish at Mort
Lake.
In all this time the crews have rowed
over the same course with now and then
a slight change In the starting and finish
ing points, and the records show that OK
ford has won thirty-four races and Cam
bridge thirty. The race In 1877 resulted In
Il dead heat. To the English sporting
public this event is the greatest inter
collegiate meeting of the year. Not even
the annual foot ball games and cricket
matches are looked upon with the same
enthusiasm as the dual regatta between
the rival universities
To oxford belongs the honor of having
won the majority of the races which have
been rowed. but this lead was gained in
the early stages OF the dual meeting.
OF late years the Cambridgeites have
been improving rapidly in their rowing.
They have come 10 the fore more often
with winning crews. and during the last
ten years the light blue OF Cambridge
has waved triumphantly, over the dark
blue of Oxford In eight races But the
race of tomorrow has gained an added in
centive for interest IN this country. 1t
is possible that II Harvard should defeat
Yale when these rivals meet July l the
Crimson will challenge the winner OF the

affairs seldom lasts for more than one

both ends of his stroke. Another fault
which these writer's have discovered
In the Oxford pace setter is that he is

| Cambridge boats of recent years. Taken
