...experienced eye, some changes in the details of the stroke will be noticeable. The light dip which allowed a hard catch on the beginning will give way to a full dip which requires a constant pressure throughout the stroke. Particular care will be taken to obtain a hard and complete finish, which will at the same time allow an easier and gentler shoot. As the crew is a light one, the stroke rowed will probably be faster than heretofore. The body movements within the boat, with one or two exceptions, are generally very good. In fact, there is a precision...
...last year was also a powerful one, but did not win. The seniors are, therefore, not full of confidence, but view with zealous eyes any improvements made by their rivals of '86 and '87. The marked faults of the senior crew are a bad finish, and two deep a dip; some of the men settle at the finish, and rush the recover. They are now rowing as follows...
Rantoul, who has been absent during vacation, will probably take a seat in the boat on his return. The individual faults of the men are the following: No. 1 faces his oar too much and dips too deep; No. 2 also faces his oar too much; No. 3 clips and swings in; No. 4 does not pull his oar through; No. 5 settles at the finish; No. 6 takes too deep a dip; No. 7 hangs at the full reach; stroke meets and allows his oar to sliver...
Substitutes, A. J. Bowen, 162 lbs. and W. Baldwin, 156 lbs.; coxswain, J. L. Whiteside, 110 lbs. The bow and No. 4 do not face their blades with the others, No. 2 swings crooked, while 3 and 4 dip too deep on the catch. No. 5 looks out of the boat too often and 6's oar "slivers out" at the finish. 7 and 8 "clip." When these faults have been corrected, the juniors will be in condition to make a hard struggle for first place...
...William D. Ely, of Providence, R. I., has lately presented the Winchester Observatory with two magnetic instruments, to be used in calculating and recording the variations of the needle for the latitude of New Haven. The first of these instruments is a magnetic dip circle, used to measure the vertical dip of the needle and also used to measure the total force of the earth's magnetism against gravitation. The other, which is the larger and more valuable of the two instruments, is a fine magnetometer, made by Elliot Bros., London. This instrument measures either the horizontal force...
