THE BOAT RACE The Sixty -Third Aral Event A ONE-SIDED CONTEST Oxford Men Struggled Gamely To the End, ami Several Collapsed At the Finish. Three ami n Half licngtlis Separated the limits. Course Over Four ami a Half Miles. (By til! Associated Press.) London, April ".The sixty-third nnnnal boat race between crews rep resentative of Oxford and Cambridge was rowed today over, the usual course from Putney to Mortlake on the Thames, a distance of a little over four and a half miles, and was won by Cambridge, by three and a half lengths, after an unexciting race. Time 19 minutes 24 seconds. Cambridge took the lead from the start and was never In the slightest danger of being overlratiled. The Oxford men struggled gamely to the end, but the work was so punishing that several of them collapsed at the finish. Seldom had the weather been so perfect for the great. English boat race. The day was bright and sunny, the wind was very light, tho water was smooth and there was very lit tle choice in the stations. Enormous crowds thronged all iiarts of the course. Oxford won the toss and chose the Surrey side. The two boats got away at 12.03 p. in. Cambridge struck the water first, pulling thirty-eight strokes during the first minute to Oxford's thirty-seven. The nose of the. Cam bridge, boat, quickly showed in front, and at the half mile post Cambridge was half a length to the . good. -The lenders were rowing in lively style and with perfect finish to their st rokns. They increased tneir lead to a lull lengLh before Craven steps, about three quarters of a mile from the start, was reached. 1 hereafter Cambridge drew away with every stroke. At Hammersmith bridge, one and three quarters of a mile from the start, Cambridge already had tho race well in hand with a lead of over two lengths. The Oxford boat, at that stage of the race was rolling badly, 'shortly afterwards the Oxford men spurted a little and took their rivals water, but. from that time on It was merely a procession, though the Ox ford oarsmen stuck to their work in a most persevering manner. Cambridge shot past Barnes bridge, , at a little over three and a half miles from the start, about five lengths in front of th Oxford boat some of whose oars men were showing evident signSvof distress. Cambridge could have won practically by any distance they liked but their stroke slowed down on nearlng the finish and Cambridge passed the winning post the easiest of winners. Today's Oxford-Cambridge boat ract was the sixty-third contest between crews of the two great English univer sities. Since 1853 the races have been held annually. Between 1S29, the year of the first aquatic contest between these universities, and 1805, Oxford won thirty-four and Cambridge twenty seven times, the race in 1877 resulting in a dead heat. Last year Oxford won by three lengths, rowing the course from Putney to Mortlake in twenty minutes thirty-five seconds. At the outset this season Oxford was regard ed as having the better chance of winning, her oarsmen being superior in weight and physique to those of Cam bridge. Later, however, several mem bers of the Oxford crew were incapaci tated ,and in the betting yesterday Cambridge was the favorite. FRISBEE WON IN TAME MATCH. (Special to The Evening Times.) Asheville.
