This is due to the following faults: First they do not pull entirely together nor with the same strength; second, some dip their oars too deep, while others do not dip deep enough; third some pull too much, others not enough, throwing the boat over to one side or the other. Their time is poor and they neither catch nor finish together. Although the foregoing is possibly a little exagerated, still it is certain that the crew will need...
