1935 NSW Crew
The eights race
was a tight race between NSW and WA. The lighter WA had to
out rate the NSW crew throughout the race but in the last
few hundred yards, the NSW crew had more in reserve and broke
away to win by 2/3 length with SA 4 lengths further back.
The
Victorian crew contained some inexperienced oarsmen. George
Anderson who raced in the 1938 crew recalls the following
story. “I recall that, a couple of years before [1938] a foreman
was selected for the State eight. Tom Luxton of our club,
who was stroke, told me that this chap came to him one day
and said: “I have not been rowing very long and do not know
much about it. What's this recovery the coach keeps talking
about?””

1935 NSW Women's Four
The race was marred by two false starts and a dispute over
the use of an audible “GO” rather than gun shot.
The starter’s gun failed to work and the start was started
by the word ‘GO”. The crews were recalled. On the
second attempt, the NSW crew held their ground and raised their
hand in protest. The stroke said that she waited for the gun
to fire and did not know that the start would be by the word “GO”.
The umpire recalled the crews. On the third attempt, the start
was successful and the NSW crew got away well taking a half
length lead by the half way mark. However both Queensland and
Victoria rowed back through the NSW crew to create a great
finish and tight margins.
After the event, the dispute over
the starting method boiled on with unsuccessful attempts made
to have the race annulled. |
