two crews.
The oxford men are good favorites'
but the Cantabs have the advantage Of
weight and some of the critics believe
they may be able TO wear down their
opponents in the latter part of the race.
The general opinion, however. inclnes
heavily in favor of the OXonians. The
great point Tor criticism is the finish
in the two boats. 1t is pointed out that
