The Lents

The Lent races take place about the last week in February. The races are bumping races and the starting posts are 150 feet apart. No oarsman is allowed to compete who has rowed in the May races, unless he did so as a freshman, in which case he may row in the Lents in his second year. The boats are clinker AFTER MAKING A BUMP.
