CAMBRIDGE TRIUMPH

DISAPPOINTING FIGHT·
OXFORD
BY
BOAT RACE LOST FROM FIRST STROKE
(By G. C. Drinkwater)
London, April 8.
ANOTHER Cambridge victory--the 12th in
succession-in the Boat Race! Oxford, beaten by 41⁄2 lengths, in 19min, 48sec., put up a very disappointing fight. It had been said by almost every critic that, with the weather conditions that prevailed, the winning of the toss meant the winning of the race.
Cambridge won the toss, and from that mo- ment Oxford gave up all hope, and were a beaten crew even when they were at the stake-boat while Capt. R. C. Bourne was instructing them on the methods he proposed to use in starting.
From the start Oxford appeared to have accepted defeat as the natural course of events and never put up a fight at all. Sutcliffe went off at 38-a pitiable effort which can. never be dignified with the term "a racing stroke."
Cambridge, splendidly led by Laurie all over the course, went off at 37, and by the end of their first stroke had made victory certain.
Cambridge Not Unbeatable Oxford had a chance which is not likely to come their way again for some time of ending their long series of defeats. They were promising crew.

(By Frank M. Carruthers)
London, April 8.
AM able to announce that the management committee of the Football League have unanimously approved the introduction of a sec- ond referee and that they enthusiastically com- mend the clubs to adopt the arrangement.
The official statement bearing on the question does not go as far as that, but it is the position. Mr. John McKenna, the president of the League, did not express his views owing to the fact that he is a member of the International Board, who will have to give the final decision.
Mr. G. E. Sutcliffe was, unfortunately, unable to attend the match with Scotland owing to illness, but I believe that he, too, is in favour of the scheme:
