WAR TIME BOAT RACE -

The boat race was moved to Henley, drawing large crowds despite the change. Since 1829, Henley hadn't seen the Oxford and Cambridge race. Oxford chose the boxer side but gained little advantage. Cambridge led most of the race, eventually winning by five lengths. The race was challenging due to rough waters, and the outcome was influenced by the historical context of 1940. The event was well-received, and there is speculation about future races being held at Henley.
