The Boat Race 1938
The 90th Boat Race took place on 2 April 1938. 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. It was the first Boat Race to be televised. In a race umpired by the former Cambridge rower and coach Harold Rickett, Oxford won by two lengths in a time of 20 minutes 30 seconds. The victory took the overall record in the event to 47–42 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. Oxford went into the race as reigning champions, having won the 1937 race by three lengths, with Cambridge leading overall with 47 victories to Oxford's 41 (excluding the "dead heat" of 1877).
Cambridge were coached by D. H. E. McCowen (who had rowed in the 1932 race), Derek Mays-Smith, R. H. H. Symonds (who had rowed in the 1931 race) and C. W. Wise. Oxford's coaches were P. C. Mallam (a four-time Dark Blue who had rowed in the 1921, 1922, 1923 and 1924 races), Guy Oliver Nickalls (who had rowed three times between 1921 and 1923) and J. H. Page.〔Burnell, pp. 110–111〕 The umpire for the race wast the former Cambridge rower Harold Rickett who had rowed for the Light Blues three times, in the 1930, 1931 and 1932 races.〔Burnell, pp. 49, 108〕 He had also coached them for the 1933 race, and had umpired the race the previous year.〔Burnell, p. 111〕
Oxford had been rated as favourites to win the race throughout their three months of training. The rowing correspondent for ''The Times'' noted that "both crews are absolutely first-rate exponents of their respective styles" and that "both coxes are first-rate". Oxford elected to use the same boat as they raced in for the previous year's event, while Cambridge used a new vessel; both were built by George Sims Boatbuilding Company of Hammersmith.〔 It was the first year that the Boat Race was televised, which, according to the television correspondent for ''The Observer'', "was a great success" and "not even the umpire knew more about the race than we (viewers )".
