Training for sports at Oxford is a serious affair. Official training for a college crew, for instance, be gins as early as fortnight before the race. There is a desperate effort to leave off smoking. The coxswain commences making the rounds of his crew's rooms each night in order to see that each man is in bed by 10:30.
