The Boat Race 1967

[13] Oxford's crew containing three former Blues in Martin Kennard, Chris Freeman and Jock Mullard, while Cambridge saw bow-man Lindsay Henderson and Patrick Delafield return.

[13] Oxford's American number four, Josh Jensen, was the heaviest oarsman in the history of the race at 15 st 4 lb (96.8 kg).

[14] Oxford won the toss for the third successive year and elected to start from the Surrey station, handing the Middlesex side of the river to Cambridge.

[11] Near Harrods Furniture Depository, the crews nearly clashed oars, but Oxford held firm and reached Hammersmith Bridge with a three-second lead.

The Light Blues reduced the lead marginally but by Chiswick Steps, Oxford were six seconds ahead and moved back to the Middlesex shore, with Cambridge resolute in midstream.

Oxford briefly left the shelter of the shoreline to shoot Barnes Bridge through the centre arch, before heading back, with a lead of eight seconds.
