The Oxford and Cambridge Boat-Race: the Cambridge Crew (Light Blues), 1898. 'A. W. Swanston (Jesus); C. J. D. Goldie (Third Trinity); J. F. Beale (First Trinity); R. B. Etherington-Smith (First Trinity); A. S. Bell (Trinity Hall), Stroke; H. G. Brown (First Trinity); S. V. Pearson (Emmanuel); W. B. Rennie (Emmanuel), Bow. E. C. Hawkins (Caius), Cox. As the long period of training on the part of the crews draws to a close, prophecies as to the probable result of the struggle have a way of growing more and more confident, but this year many an expert critic has perceived "a divided duty" which has somewhat abated his customary manner. Since the arrival of the two crews at Putney, indeed, the general opinion as to their relative merits has undergone a considerable change. In the earlier days of this year's training, Oxford, with her six old Blues to the two of Cambridge, seemed likely to gain her ninth successive victory with comparative ease. But in spite of their many disadvantages arising from the changes in the boat made necessary by illness, the Light Blues have improved in form until there is every prospect of a good race, at any rate, and even a possibility of a victory for Cambridge, after a Dark Blue supremacy of eight years'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
