The Sydney Morning Herald reported:

Leading from start to finish the Western Australian crew won the Interstate University boat race rowed on the River Huon course at Franklin on Saturday.

Conditions for the race could not have been improved. Each State was represented and it was generally anticipated that Sydney would win on the form it had shown in practice. However it was unable to keep up with the fast striking crew from Western Australia and was five lengths behind. The leaders at any time never dropped below a striking rate of 36. The Western Australians has won the race four times from six starts. Melbourne's form was disappointing and was last.

The race attracted great interest and was watched by a crowd of several thousand. The race started from moored punts, and the crews were sent away to an even start striking 40 to the minute. Western Australia was the first to show out followed bv Sydney. After settling down Western Australia dropped to 36 and Sydney to 31. At the mile Western Australia led by two lengths from Sydney with Adelaide, Tasmania, Queensland and Melbourne rowing almost level the same distance behind Sydney.

The Western Austalians steadily increased their lead finishing strongly and won by five lengths from Sydney with Adelaide four lengths further behind third, Tasmania was fourth three lengths behind Adelaide and Queensland next another couple of lengths further back Melbourne finished last two lengths behind Queensland.
