This race was conducted on the Upper Yarra with a three crew final and with Wesley continuing its winning ways.
Xavier met Scotch in the heats and lost by only 1/2 length in a tight race. Wesley won their heat in even a tighter race, defeating Geelong Grammar by only 4 feet.
The Scotch crew contained Clive Disher, the man who was to stroke the AIF crew to victory in the 1919 Peace Regatta for the King's Cup. The Scotch crew was coached by Albert Lindbalde, an early winner of the Head of the River race in the last century.
No second crew races were conducted.
