Boat race on Seine
NZPA-Reuter Paris Cambridge gained some revenge for their defeat in this year’s Boat Race, beating Oxford by one length in an alternative event transplanted across the Channel to the River Seine. A Cambridge crew of freshmen led all the way against an Oxford eight which included two members of the victorious team which won the real Boat Race for the 12th time in a row on the River Thames. The 2000-metre race from the Pont Mirabeau to the Pont d’lena at the foot of the Eiffel Tower was watched by a few hundred Parisians enjoying the autumn sunshine.
