BOAT RACE PROMISES TO BE ANOTHER KEEN ONE

PLENTY OF OARSMEN ON BOTH SIDES

By Our Rowing Correspondent

London, Dec. 26. Although these are carly days, there were plenty of indica-

tions both at Ely and at Henley recently that next year's Univer sity Boat Race should produce another most interesting contest. The Cambridge President, T. B. Langton, has had two eights out at Cambridge, and he himself, together with A. Burrough, the secretary, and R. J. L. Perfitt, the stroke in the last University crew, have all been rowing. None of them took part in the Trial
