Today's boat race

Background

[edit]
  • "excluding the "dead heat" of 1877" - should link to the 1877 article
  • "Hale was injured and president Warre contracted scarlet fever" - as the first mention of Hale and Warre, we should use their full names (or whatever bits of them the sources have recorded)
  • "five-time Blue between 1886 and 1890" - I assume this is Light Blue / Cambridge here from context, but I'm wondering if we should clarify this specifically here
  • "was Frank Willan who won the event" - shouldn't that be "who had won the event"?

Crew

[edit]

Race

[edit]
  • "continued to draw away from the Dark Blues, untroubled" - do we need "untroubled"?
  • "it followed a run of ten consecutive wins for Oxford" - according to the source (of which the reliability has been called into question numerous times when compared to paper records), Oxford had nine consecutive wins; 1890 - 1898 inclusive.

Summary
