The Boat Race 1849 (March)
The 9th Boat Race took place on the River Thames on 29 March 1849. Typically held annually, the event is a side-by-side rowing race between crews from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The race was won by Cambridge who triumphed over Oxford "easily". As a result of the nature of the defeat, Oxford challenged Cambridge to a second race that year, which was to be held in December, the first and only time the Boat Race was competed for twice in a calendar year. Every member of the Cambridge crew came from Trinity College.
==Background==
The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues") and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues").〔 The race was first held in 1829, and since 1845 has taken place on the Championship Course on the River Thames in southwest London. Cambridge went into the race leading overall with six victories to Oxford's two. They had beaten Oxford in the previous race, held in 1845, by three lengths.〔
Cambridge used an outrigged boat built by Searle, in length and in width, while the Dark Blues' boat was constructed by Hall of Oxford.〔MacMichael, pp. 149–50〕 The umpire for the race was J. C. Fellowes while the starter was Edward Searle.〔Burnell p. 49〕
