THE INTER-’VARSITY RACE. “VICTORY EOR BROWN SUGAR.’’ BY CABIjE— PRESS ASSOCIATION— COPYRIGHT. LONDON, Marcli 28. The crowd watching the boat race at Mortlake was so great that the rising tide washed the ankles of many who were unable to press backwards. Police in boats rescued numbers of panicstricken women who were caught in the backwash. The victory is jocularly regarded as one for brown sugar.

Cable Assn.
