The Universities' Boat-Race: the Oxford Team, 1895. 'DARK BLUES: H. B. COTTON (Bow); M. C. PILKINGTON; C. K. PHILIPS; T. H. E. STRETCH; C. M. PITMAN (Stroke); W. B. STEWART; C. D. BURNELL; W. E. CRUM; C. P. SEROCOLD (Coxswain). By the time this Journal is in the hands of our readers Universities' Boat-Race will, in all probability, be an accomplished fact. Both crews have been busily practising under the coaching of experienced men. In the Cambridge boat Mr. Stewart's place was taken on March 25 by Mr. J. F. Beale, as the former was unwell. Mr. S. D. Muttlebury has been indefatigable in instructing the Cantabs, who, however, have not found so much favour with the critics as the Oxonians. We give the portraits of both crews, in accordance with our custom'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
