Capturing the Essence of Rivalry - Oxford v Cambridge Athletics, 1965
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Bob Hope from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the intense atmosphere of the Oxford v Cambridge athletics event in May 1965. The image freezes a pivotal moment during the thrilling 220-yard race, where athletes Wendell Mottley and Graham Plows from Cambridge University showcase their remarkable speed and determination. Wendell Mottley, donning number two for Cambridge, steals the spotlight as he sprints towards victory with astonishing agility. Crossing the finish line in an impressive time of 21.6 seconds, he solidifies his place as a true champion on that historic day. Not far behind him is his teammate Graham Plows (number four), who finishes second in an equally commendable time of 21.8 seconds. However, it was not just a triumph for Cambridge alone; Jeffrey Archer (Oxford) claims third place alongside Andrew Ronay (Oxford) securing fourth position – both displaying exceptional skill and resilience throughout the race. This photograph encapsulates not only a fierce sporting rivalry between two prestigious universities but also showcases individual excellence within each team. It serves as a reminder of how sport can ignite passion and camaraderie among competitors while pushing them to reach new heights. Bob Hope's lens captures this iconic moment with precision and artistry, allowing us to relive this extraordinary event decades later. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time
