The Boat Race 1933
The 85th Boat Race took place on 1 April 1933. 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 the former rower Herbert Aylward Game, Cambridge won by two-and-a-quarter lengths in a time of 20 minutes 57 seconds. The record tenth consecutive victory took the overall record in the event to 44–40 in Cambridge'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; it is followed throughout the United Kingdom and, as of 2014, broadcast worldwide. Cambridge went into the race as reigning champions, having won the 1932 race by five lengths, and led overall with 43 victories to Oxford's 40 (excluding the "dead heat" of 1877).
Cambridge were coached by Francis Escombe, Harold Rickett (who rowed three times between 1930 and 1932), and Peter Haig-Thomas (four-time Blue for Cambridge between 1902 and 1905). Oxford's coaches were John Houghton Gibbon (who had participated in the 1899 and 1900 races, and umpired the 1931 race), P. Johnson (who had rowed for Oxford in the 1927 race), A. E. Kitchin (who had rowed in the 1908 race) and W. P. Mellen (who was a Dark Blue in 1923 and 1924 races).〔Burnell, pp. 110–111〕 The race was umpired by former Cambridge rower Herbert Aylward Game who had represented the Light Blues in the 1895 and 1896 races.〔Burnell, pp. 49, 105〕
According to the rowing correspondent for ''The Times'', "no training in recent years has seen more changes in the comparative merits of the two crews." Oxford started well while Cambridge took time to settle, but having done so "made astonishingly rapid progress" and "promised to be the best Cambridge crew since 1900."〔 Oxford improved further once they had arrived at Putney; conversely the Light Blues suffered misfortune in losing Lewis Luxton, last year's stroke ten days before the race. The Dark Blues continued to progress but by the time of the race, "there was very little to choose between the two crews."〔
