  • The Eights this year began on Monday [previously Wednesdays]
  • First night: St. John's were impeded and Balliol rowed past, but declined to claim the bump over four places.
  • Second night: Trinity were stopped by bump in front. All the other boats rowed past, but Magdalen refused to take the bump.
  • Third night: Exeter, bumped by University, claimed an earlier bump against Brasenose, which was allowed.
  • Seventh night: St. Mary Hall stroke broke an oar and jumped overboard. The seven oars kept the race going to the crossing.
