New York, March 29 ( v. t'diir mite course from Putney to Mori lako on the Thames river, Englan the rival crews from Oxford and Cat kridge ualverBitiei will renew the annual struggle for rowing hono Wednesday. (Eighty-two years ago ti initial boa) race between these univc attics was a two-mile contest on tl Thames at Henley and Oxford was it winner. All subsequent raws. )m ever, were decided over ,i four mi course, The following six races wei contested during aperlod of sevi i teen years up to UMG, and i five of those Cambridge was th vli tor. In ISHi the crews rowed in ou riggers for the first time Tho 183 rare was the first n which either crei rowed in t ti present style of eight without keel and both used roun osrs and sliding Beats were Introdin (I In 1678. Owing to a cessation of ail Bpor inn events during ili" war do ra e wa staged from 1913 until last year whe Cambridge won by four lengths In :.' minutes, eleven seconds, excel len time oonsldering the unfavorable cor ilitions of wind and rain which pr vailed throughoul the afternoon. In all seventy-two races have beei rowed by representative crews fron these rival universities Oambridg) has won thirty-nine of them, Ox fori finlslied in front thirty-two times am in IX" a dead heat was the result Oi March 30, I9f2, both boats wen swamped during a storm and tho raci was rowed over two days later, ) ford scoring a win. This year international interest is added to the event because an Aus tralian, J, A. Campbell of Melbourne, is a member of the Cambridge crew, while the I'nited States will be rep resented in the Oxford boat by F I! Lothrop who rowed No. 2 on last year's Harvard 'Varsity eight: Loth rop will he in the same position to morrow in the Oxford bout. This is not the first time, however, that Amer ican collegians took part in the uni versity race on fce Thames The Mi! burn brothers, John and Deveranx of Buflalo, '. V. and Harvard were members of the Oxford crew In 1902. John O. was No. 5 and Deveranx No 2 in the Oxford bout that year and In 1103 Deveraux rowed No, 6 for ox fford. Since that time Deveraux Mil bum has became more prominent as a polo player and he will leave for England next month to captain tho American polo team In the Interna tional match at Hurllngham In June Speaking of Lothrop's winning a place on the Oxford crew Coach Haines of Harvard recently said: "It proves (hat our systems have much in common. In fact they are very siin liar. The principle difference lies In a mechanical factor, the length of slide. We use a long slide; they us n short one. The result is that the English have to use the body for the drive while we use the legs. It is comparatively simple for a man to make the change from long slide t i short but, it would be another story to change from short slide to long." Another factor which increases in terest In the race on the part of Amer icans la the possibility that one of tho crews which row tomorrow may ac cept llie invitation extended to both Oxford and Cambridge to take part in the Poughkeepsie regatta June 22, The crews ate exceptionally heavy this year and If they maintin the or der In which they are named they will constitute a new re.. nil in this respect In 1914 ( lamhridge averaged 177'; pounds per man, the heaviest up to dale.
