Notes

• Fri 1 - Tue 5 March
• Due to ice, Torpids was postponed until Fri Mar 1st and reduced to 4 days racing.
• From The Times Wed 20 Feb 1929

  A Captains' meeting was held yesterday when it was decided to postpone the Torpid Races until March 1, provided that the river is clear of ice on the Monday, in order to allow four days' continuous practice. It was also decided to reduce the racing to four days. The last occasion on which the Torpid Races had to be postponed was in 1895, when the frost lasted several weeks.

• The Times Wed 6 March gives names of the Balliol (Head) crew, as well as Univerity (2nd) and Corpus (highest rising crew, up 4 places).
