More about this scene
The Thames is not sufficiently wide at Oxford for the conventional kind of race in which one boat, known as an eight, overtakes another. The broad, sweeping movements of the oars requires a lot of space. Instead, the crews begin the race in line before trying to outmanoeuvre the one in front by bumping it.
