The Boat Race 1865
The 22nd Boat Race between crews from the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge took place on the River Thames on 8 April 1865. Oxford won by four lengths in a time of 21 minutes 24 seconds. The race, described as "one of the most sensational races in this history" thus far, was umpired by Joseph William Chitty. It was the first time that a crew had won the Boat Race having been behind at Hammersmith Bridge.
==Background==
The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues") and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues").〔 The race was first held in 1829, and since 1845 has taken place on the Championship Course on the River Thames in southwest London. The rivalry is a major point of honour between the two universities and followed throughout the United Kingdom and worldwide. Oxford went into the race as reigning champions, having won the 1864 race by nine lengths, with Oxford leading overall with eleven victories to Cambridge's ten.
Cambridge were coached by their non-rowing president J. G. Chambers (who had rowed in the 1862 and 1863 races),〔Burnell, p. 110〕 while Oxford's coach was G. Morrison (who had rowed for Oxford three times as well as being a non-rowing president in 1862).〔Burnell, p. 111〕 Both university boats were constructed by J. & S. Salter of Oxford using cedar wood.〔MacMichael, pp. 318–319〕 The race was umpired by Joseph William Chitty who had rowed for Oxford twice in 1849 (in the March and December races) and the 1852 race, while the starter was Edward Searle.〔Burnell, pp. 49, 97〕
