Three is very apt to get out of time, but his form is good generally. Two does not keep control of his neck, and bow does not put life enough into his stroke. Throughout the boat there is a looseness in managing the arms, but the time is generally good, and the backs are kept straight and in good form. On the whole, the crew is progressing as well as could be expected...
