WOMEN'S BOAT RACE
OXFORD BEAT CAMBRIDGE
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, 15th March
The women of Oxford and Cambridge Universities to-day rowed their first boat race. The race, which took place at Oxford, was on novel lines, the crews starting at different times. The course was half a mile long, and the crews were judged on their style while rowing down river and on their speed while rowing back. The two umpires awarded equal points for style, and the race went to Oxford for speed. Oxford's time was 3miu 36 2-ssec, and Cambridge's 3min 51sec. The race was watched by a large crowd of men undergraduates, who ran along the towing path cheering the crews.
