Last week perhaps a million persons lined the Thames from Putney to Mortlake. It was the centenary of the famous struggle between the light blue and the dark. Forty times had impudent Oxford won. Thirty-nine times victory had gone to Cambridge. Once, in 1877, the judges could name no winner, for the crews finished together to the stroke−a dead heat...
...victory was the sixth straight for Cambridge, the ninth in ten races since the War. It placed the light blue even with the dark. Next year the two will start another century of boatracing...

Postal Telegraph itself is the other rival: it has also applied to the Commission for domestic wave lengths. If radiotelephonic hookups, now a possibility, become a reality, the remaining great communications company, American Telephone & Telegraph Co., will...
