LAWS OF BOAT-RACING (THEIR HISTORY, AND RULES OF THE ROAD).

Laws of boat-racing, until 1872, were variously read by various executives. One rule was common to all, and yet differently interpreted by many an umpire or referee. It was that which related to a boat's course.

The old rule was, that a boat which could take a clear lead of an opponent, and which could cross the proper track of that opponent with such clear lead, became entitled to the 'water' so taken. The boat astern had then to change its course, and to take its leader's vacated course. If thereafter they fouled, through the leader returning to the vacated water, the leader lost; if through the sternmost boat catching the leader in the 'captured' water, then the pursuer lost. Also, under the old code, a foul, however slight, lost a race, if one boat was in its right and the other in its wrong course at the time. If both were in the wrong, the foul did not count.

This code led to many a wrangle over fouls. It also opened the door to sharp practice--e.g. a leader might cross an opponent, by dint of pure speed; and then, being in, his 'right' water, by dint of having crossed with a 'clear lead,' the leader might 'accidentally' shut off speed, before the boat behind had time to change its course. This forced on a foul, and the leader could then claim his pound of flesh, and the race. An umpire had no discretion in the matter.

In 1872 a meeting of leading amateurs drew up a new code. This code was put in force at the Thames watermen's regattas, governed by amateurs. In time Henley adopted them, as did all leading regattas. Watermen for some time had a liking for the old code and its facilities for 'win, tie, or wrangle' in a match, but as time passed on the new code gained ground, and gradually the old one became obsolete. The late Mr. John Graham Chambers, C.U.B.C., was the leading spirit in this reform.

The revised code is now part of the creed of the Amateur Rowing Association, of which mention has already been made. These rules are now appended. The Henley executive publish a similar code, but differently numbered. Rule 15 is more of a _regatta_ rule. It is usually waived in sculling matches, and in the Wingfield Sculls for the amateur championship its operation is, by order of the parliament of old champions, suspended.

THE LAWS OF BOAT-RACING AS APPROVED BY THE AMATEUR ROWING ASSOCIATION.

1. The starter, on being satisfied that the competitors are
ready, shall give the signal to start.

2. If the starter considers the start false, he shall at once
recall the boats to their stations, and any boat refusing to
start again shall be disqualified.

3. Any boat not at its post at the time specified shall be
liable to be disqualified by the umpire.

4. The umpire may act as starter as he thinks fit; when he does
not so act, the starter shall be subject to the control of the
umpire.

5. Each boat shall keep its own water throughout the race, and
any boat departing from its own water will do so at its peril.

6. A boat's own water is its straight course, paralleled with
those of the other competing boats, from the station assigned to
it at starting to the finish.

7. The umpire shall be sole judge of a boat's own water and
proper course during the race.

8. No fouling whatever shall be allowed; the boat committing a
foul shall be disqualified.

9. It shall be considered a foul when, after the race has
commenced, any competitor by his oar, boat, or person comes in
contact with the oar, boat, or person of another competitor,
unless in the opinion of the umpire such contact is so slight as
not to influence the race.

10. The umpire may, during the race, caution any competitor when
in danger of committing a foul.

11. The umpire, when appealed to, shall decide all questions as
to a foul.

12. A claim of foul must be made to the judge or the umpire by
the competitor himself before getting out of his boat.

13. In case of a foul the umpire shall have the power--

(_a_) To place the boats--except the boat committing the foul,
which is disqualified--in the order in which they come in;

(_b_) To order the boats engaged in the race, other than the
boat committing the foul, to row over again on the same or
another day;

(_c_) To re-start the qualified boats from the place where the
foul was committed.

14. Every boat shall abide by its accidents.

15. No boat shall be allowed to accompany a competitor for the
purpose of directing his course or affording him other
assistance. The boat receiving such direction or assistance
shall be disqualified at the discretion of the umpire.

16. The jurisdiction of the umpire extends over the race, and
all matters connected with it, from the time the race is
specified to start until its final termination, and his
decision in all cases shall be final and without appeal.

17. Any competitor refusing to abide by the decision or to
follow the directions of the umpire shall be disqualified.

18. The umpire, if he thinks proper, may reserve his decision,
provided that in every case such decision be given on the day of
the race.

The 'rule of the road' on the river is not settled quite as hard and fast as on land, or in marine navigation; but certain general principles are recognised by all rowing men of experience, for the sake of mutual safety. The following draft of the recognised principles referred to is set forth by the editor of the 'Rowing Almanack,' and other authorities, to whom rowing men are much indebted for the publication.

In case of any 'running-down' action, arising out of a collision between pleasure-boats on the Thames, it would probably go hardly with the occupants of a boat which had brought about an accident by disregard of these 'rules of the road.'

_'The Rule of the Road' on the River._

The following are the generally recognised rules adopted by the
leading rowing clubs:--

1. A row-boat going against the stream or tide should take the
shore or bank--which bank is immaterial--and should keep inside
all boats meeting it.

2. A row-boat going with stream or tide should take a course in
mid-river, and should keep outside all boats meeting it.

3. A row-boat overtaking another boat proceeding in the same
direction should keep clear of the boat it overtakes, which
should maintain its course.

4. A row-boat meeting another end-on in still or open waters, or
lakes, should keep to the right as in walking, leaving the boat
passed on the port or left side.

5. A row-boat with a coxswain should give way to a boat without
a coxswain, subject to the foregoing rules, in so far as they
apply.

6. A boat towing with stream or tide should give way to a boat
towing against it, and if it becomes necessary to unship or drop
a tow-line, the former should give way to the latter; but when
a barge towing is passed by a pleasure-boat towing, the latter
should give way and go outside, as a small boat is the easier of
the two to manage, in addition to which the river is the barge's
highway.

7. A row-boat must give way to a sailing-boat.

8. When a row-boat and a steamer pass each other, their actions
should, as a rule, be governed by the same principle as on two
row-boats passing; but in shallow waters the greater draughts of
the steam-vessel should be remembered, and the row-boat give way
to her.

UNIVERSITY OARSMEN.

The following lists show what oarsmen in eights or fours represented their respective Universities from year to year, whether in matches or at regattas. Those whose names appear as having thus represented their University are recognised as 'old Blues.' In some cases crews are given which are not strictly University crews, e.g. the 'Cambridge Subscription Rooms,' 'Oxford Aquatic Club,' &c. These crews sometimes took the place of U.B.C. crews, and though all these members may not be strictly 'Blues,' the performances are recorded, in order to give as far as possible a continuous history.
