After a false start by Oxford, the 124th University Boat Race got under way with the Umpire's flag still up. The conditions on the river were very rough and they took their toll, when a mile from the finish, the Cambridge boat sank. Oxford, who started favourites, went on to cross the Finishing Line.

Shotlist:

Various shots of Floyd Patterson, Sonny Liston and Cassius Clay in training. Cassius Clay talking. Liston, Patterson rematch, do you have a prediction on that® Well I predict that Sonny Liston will win the fight in 3 rounds, he'll stay the champ until he meets me. How about a prediction on which round you'll defeat Liston. I predicted 8 on Sonny Liston but he kept popping off about I talk too much and that I need a glove down my throat and its going to take a Doctor to cut it out and then maybe a man and to cut that prediction from 8 rounds to 6 rounds. Liston must roll in 6. You have become the poet®® more or less of the boxing world, do you have a little poetry® Yes, I have a little sharp one for Sonny Liston but I reveal all when the fight comes up. It goes something like this.. "If you like to lose your money then be a fool and bet on Sonny but if you want to have a good day then put it on Clay".
