Today's boat race


### Background
"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
Stupid off-topic question, why is The Isis (main) not River Isis (redirect)?
Dunno.  It's just the common name.  I suppose, as it's part of the River Thames, it'd be odd to have a river in a river.... The Rambling Man (talk) 17:04, 14 January 2015 (UTC)


### Race
"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
That's all. On hold. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:09, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
All fixed, and a little response re: Isis above.  Thanks again again for your interest and review.  The Rambling Man (talk) 17:04, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
No worries. All good and passed. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 18:39, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
