GA review (see
here for what the criteria are, and
here for what they are not)
The Rambling Man, I have completed my review of the article, and while it looks like it meets the majority of criteria for passage to Good Article status, I do have some comments and questions that need to be addressed first. This is certainly another fantastic addition to the Boat Race series of articles! --

Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section, the lede should summarize the content from all three sections of the article. Therefore, I would add in some additional content to represent the "Crews" section, perhaps mentioning that the Oxford crew weighed an average of 12 st 8.25 lb (79.8 kg), 3.25 pounds (1.5 kg) per rower more than their opponents. I would either mention the weight, or you could include the fact that three of the Oxford crew were gold medallists in the men's coxless four at the 1908 Summer Olympics.
Per
Wikipedia:Inline citation, I would suggest consolidating internal citations at the end of sentences. This only occurs twice in this section within the first paragraph.
It might be worth mentioning in this section that the majority (six) of the Oxford crew members were from Magdalen, and the majority (five) of the Cambridge crew members were from Trinity Hall.
This section is written well, its content is verifiable and internally cited within the prose, and I have no further comments or suggestions. The table is also sourced, and beautifully formatted. The caricatures are free for use here, and fit snugly between the table and the right margin.
You're quite welcome
The Rambling Man; as always, I've enjoyed this review. The citation comment was merely a suggestion, and is therefore, not a deal breaker. Upon re-review, I've found that you have incorporated the majority of my suggestions, and I find that this article easily meets the criteria for passage to Good Article status. Thanks for all your hard work! --
