 * Remove the stray full-stop after John Snagge.

 * He went on to claim "Oxford should win". I would prefer a "that" before the quote, but I don't mind it as it is.


 * Crews
 * I know we've had a previous similar discussion, but Lady Margaret Boat Club isn't a college. The title either needs to change to "College rowing club", or the description to "St John's".


 * Race
 * while correspondent for The Times Missing "the".


 * References

Otherwise, all done precisely as you requested.  Thanks for the review! The Rambling Man (talk) 08:39, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
