context_page_description: The 85th Boat Race took place on 1 April 1933. Held annually, the Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing race between crews from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge along the River Thames. Umpired by the former rower Herbert Aylward Game, Cambridge won by ​2 ¹⁄₄ lengths in a time of 20 minutes 57 seconds. The record tenth consecutive victory took the overall record in the event to 44–40 in Cambridge's favour.

Cambridge saw three rowers return to the crew with Boat Race experience, including number five Charles Sergel who was making his third consecutive appearance.  Oxford's crew also contained three rowers who had taken part in previous events, including W. D. C. Erskine-Crumb, appearing in his third consecutive race.
