Warm-Up For The Dark Blues -- In this weather, rowing is not the warmest of pastimes and the Dark Blues usually have a run along the two-path before going out for practice on the River Isis. Here five members of the Oxford "A" Trail eight are seen enjoying their "warm up" prior to training. They are (left to right) D. Parnwell (St. Edward, Trinity); J.M. Wilson (Radley, Trinity); R.D.T. Raikes (Radley, Merton); J.J.H. Harrison (Shrewsbury, Trinity); C.R.C. Owtram (Shrewsbury, Christ Church). As boat Race Day - April 3rd - gradually draws nearer, both Oxford and Cambridge are speeding up their training programmes. January 21, 1954. (Photo by Fox Photos).
