river. thus obtaining the advantage Of
shelter from light wind.
Tho oars of the Oxford crew were
first to dip the water but tho longer
gave them the lead. After this there
was no doubt as to the result.
When the crews shot thru Hammer
smith bridge, the half way mark, Cam
bridge had lead Of two lengths. This
was maintained until the boats ap-
preached Barnes bridge, where the
leaders spurted and took another
length.
A gallant effort was then made by
the dark blues and the gap between
the boats was momentarily lessened.
G. e. Tower, the Cambridge stroke,
made final call on his men as they
approached the finish and Cambridge
still further widened the gap. between
the shells. The weather was ideal.
A platform on which 150 spectators
were standing collapsed during the
race and all were thrown into the hold
of barge. Fourteen persons were
badly injured.
