The 3rd University Cross-Country Race

Monday, December 4th 1882, Oxford

9 miles

1. W.A.Rice Christ’s Cambridge 58:53iv

2. L.W.Reed St. John’s Cambridge

3. G.F.Wooldridge Keble Oxford

7. H.Strakervi Jesus Cambridge

8. J.Prowdevii St. John’s Cambridge

9. A.V.Patonviii Trinity Oxford

10. E.C.Carterii St. John’s Oxford


W.E.Fraser (Pembroke) was Cambridge captain

G.E.H.Pratt (St. John’s) was Oxford captain

iv Rice won by 20 yards. v In Fifty Years of Sport at Oxford, Cambridge and the Great Public Schools, C.W.Grinstead is

listed as being at Keble and Charsley’s Hall, Oxford. He was at Keble from 1879-81 and then

migrated to Charsley’s Hall for 1882-83. vi The Book of Blues records the seventh placed runner as Cambridge’s J. Brodie (no college

given). vii The Book of Blues records the eighth placed runner as Cambridge’s W.H.Steven (no college given). viii There is some doubt as to whether this runner was A.V.Paton (Trinity) or J.D.Paton (St.

Edmund Hall). Fifty Years of Sport at Oxford, Cambridge and the Great Public Schools, the Book

of Blues and Oxford versus Cambridge record him as J.D.Paton. Both A.V. and J.D. were up at

Oxford from 1881 until the 1890s. However, in A.V.Paton’s obituary in The Times, it states that

he won a Half-Blue for cross-country. Also, the Oxford Magazine, which was not first published until 1882, records that A.V.Paton attended a number of club runs in the 1882-83 season.

J.D.Paton is never mentioned. In the C.U.H.& H. Minute Book, the runner is recorded in the

result of the 1882 race as simply ‘Paton’. The initials J.D. have been pencilled later. This could be where the confusion has arisen. It is also possible that Fifty Years of Sport at Oxford, Cambridge

and the Great Public Schools is the cause as it contains a short biography of Rev. J.D.Paton of St.

Edmund Hall who ran in the cross-country race of 1882. Therefore, it is assumed that the runner was in fact A.V.Paton.

Collinson, Conway, Edgell, Prowde, Bassano, James, Bradley and Nevill. xii Reed won by a yard; similar distance between second and third. xiii In Oxford versus Cambridge and The Book of Blues, Whateley is recorded as being at

Cavendish College, which existed from 1876-1891. Its buildings are now occupied by Homerton

College. xiv Turrell’s Hall was a private hall at Oxford. It no longer exists.

1914 - 1918: No races due to the Great War

xix In Oxford versus Cambridge and Book of Blues, J.E.W.Bath is referred to as J.A.Bath. This appears to be a mistake. There is no record of a J.A.Bath at the University at this time. John Euel

Witherden Bath (Shrewsbury) was a Bible Clerk and Member of the Foundation at All Souls who

matriculated in Michaelmas term 1912. The Annals of the Thames Hare and Hounds also refers to a J.E.W.Bath and not J.A.Bath.

The race was run on a six-to-score basis, but the both sides’ reserves competed, making

16 starters in all. Only 11 runners finished the race, so twelfth was credited to Oxford

by default. R.S.Blease and J.A.Glen-Bott were reserves for their respective teams, but

in the event, both scored for them.

E.P.Dewar (St. Peter’s Hall) was Oxford captain

xxii The wartime races were not considered part of the official series, so the results have never been included in the overall match score.

Cambridge won. No score declared.

The race score was Cambridge 11 points, Oxford 25. However, objections were lodged

by Oxford on the grounds that over-zealous Cambridge supporters had paced

Cambridge competitors and impeded Oxford runners. The Referee (A.J.Elliot,

President of Thames Hare and Hounds) considered the objections and eye-witness

reports and judged that the interference by supporters may have affected some

individual placings, but could not have affected the overall team result. He therefore

ruled that the match should stand as a victory for Cambridge, but no points should be

declared.

Declaration of the Race Result

The following report formally sets out the outcome of the 39th Ladies’ University Race,

hosted by Thames Hare and Hounds on Wimbledon Common on Saturday 6th

December 2014.

Sophia Saller (St. Catherine’s, Oxford) had led the race from an early stage and was on

course to take the individual victory. When the group of runners behind her, which

included Kate Niehaus (Trinity, Oxford) and all seven members of the Cambridge

team, reached the 2.9 mile point in the race (the crossing of the ditch following the

descent down from the Alps), they followed the gentlemen’s course, which crosses the

ladies’ course at this point. On reaching Stag Ride, the group turned left and followed it

until the Memorial Playing Fields were reached and the correct course picked up to the

finish. This detour represents a small shortcut, but critically much easier terrain as the

hardest part of the course (The Butts) is missed out. As a consequence six of the eight

runners reached the finish ahead of Sophia Saller.

Simon Molden (Thames Hare and Hounds) witnessed the race with all runners on

course just before the Windmill at 2.3 miles. His view was that:

1. By this point Sophia Saller was clearly leading and would have won the race had it

reached its natural conclusion

2. Kate Niehaus was second at this point with the whole Cambridge team packed

closely behind her. The Oxford team was adrift of the Cambridge runners and

spread out over a much wider margin. Therefore, had the race reached its natural

conclusion, Cambridge would have decisively won the team contest.

Following this, runners all passed Richard Weston (Thames Hare and Hounds) who

was stationed in the woods just after the Windmill. The course was lost about 400 yards

after this point.

Following a discussion between John Bryant (President, Thames Hare and Hounds and

Match Referee), Simon Molden (Honorary Secretary, Thames Hare and Hounds and

Clerk of the Course), Dorothea Cockerell (Club Captain, Thames Hare and Hounds),

Larry Mathews (Thames Hare and Hounds), Katy Hedgethorne (Ladies’ Captain,

Cambridge University Hare and Hounds) and Suzana Markolovic (Ladies’ Captain,

Oxford University Cross-Country Club), the following was agreed:

1. That Thames Hare and Hounds takes full responsibility for the runners having lost

the course

2. That Sophia Saller should be awarded the individual victory in the race

3. That Cambridge should be awarded the team victory with no score declared.

Thames Hare and Hounds would like to pass their sincere apologies on to Oxford and

Cambridge for unclear course marking and the lack of a pioneer at a critical point and

- -

their gratitude to the two captains for their co-operation and helpfulness in reaching the

verdict set out above.

John Bryant, President, Thames Hare and Hounds
