ROWING REVIVAL AT OXFORD

Crow To Meet Cambridge Training

At Henley

at

The revival of Oxford rowing in now. In full swing and the River Ials at the present time is an in- spiring sight. The start made by the President and Mr. Halk Thomas last term, and carried on in the trial crew collected Henley before the beginning of this term, is now being elaborated by the careful individual instruction of a number of promising Fresh mton and others, and anyone who has shown aptitude for rowing la pretty sure to be noticed and tried. Most Colleges now have bank tubs, and there is much talk of the eventual substitution of boat houses for barges, which, although!. it would take many years to ne- complish, is certainly desirable, As a result of the activities of the O.U.B.C., College coaching is much more purposeful and inspired, and the river breathes a new and hope. ful spirit.

A number of Colleges are return- Ing to fixed tholes. Wadham and Hertford have already decided to do so, and Worcester and one or two others are said to be thinking seriously of I.

Light Fours, Clinker Fours and Sculls have already begun. Togger Eights are also aut in large num bers, and the long-distance raço to be held at the end of term is being enthusiastically talked of.
