The Boat Race 1925
The 77th Boat Race took place on 28 March 1925. Held annually, the Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing race between crews from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge along the River Thames. Umpired by former rower Frederick I. Pitman, Cambridge won in a time of 21 minutes 50 seconds as Oxford were waterlogged and unable to finish the race. The victory took the overall record in the event to 40–36 in Oxford's favour.
==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. Cambridge went into the race as reigning champions, having won the 1924 race by four-and-a-half lengths, while Oxford led overall with 40 victories to Cambridge's 35 (excluding the "dead heat" of 1877).
Oxford were coached by G. C. Bourne who had rowed for the university in the 1882 and 1883 races, Stanley Garton (who had rowed three times between 1909 and 1911) and E. D. Horsfall (who had rowed in the three races prior to the First World War). Cambridge's coaches were Francis Escombe, P. Haig-Thomas (four-time Blue who had rowed between 1902 and 1905), Sir Henry Howard (coach of the Lady Margaret Boat Club) and David Alexander Wauchope (who had rowed in the 1895 race).〔Burnell, pp. 110–111〕〔 For the seventeenth year the umpire was Old Etonian Frederick I. Pitman who had rowed for Cambridge in the 1884, 1885 and 1886 races.〔Burnell, pp. 49, 108〕
As a result of various illnesses, the Oxford crew was not finalised until five days before the race, and according to former Dark Blue rower and author George Drinkwater, "the innumerable changes prevented the crew from ever really getting together".〔 Drinkwater also stated that the Oxford boat rowed with "three unfit men in the boat".〔 Similarly, Cambridge were affected by illness, in particular the boat club president Robert Morrison who was forced to leave the crew.〔
