University Boat Race
CAMBRIDGE AND OXFORD,
The British rowing world has bcc-n stirred to its depths at the news that the Oxford and Cambridge boat race has been postponed to April 12, or nearly a month after the close of the Lent term at Oxford. This means that the Dark Blue crew will have to stay up for a fortnight before shifting to London for the final preparation on tnc Thames. Oxford has mightly hopes of breaking the Light Blues’ long run of success since the war. The two crews boated in the recent trials contain a fair sprinkling of Antipodeans, including Button, from Adelaide; Ingles, of Tasmania, wlio was No 8 in last year’s crew; and Platts Mills, from New Zealand.
