THE UNIVEBSITY BOAT BACK By Electric Telegraph— Copyright. I PER UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION. -1} London, March 26. . Cambridge was. ihe favourite at the start of the University boat race, as much as 9 to 4 being laid on the light blues. At Hammersmith they were - leading by half a length, arid a desperate struggle ensued between the rival crews. Oxford gradually wore their opponents down, and at Barnes' Bridge had drawn half a length ahead. This distance was increased to a length by the time the winning post was reached. The water was choppy, and the day windy, which accounts for the time (22 mm 3sec)not being so good as was anticipated.
