...Newell four graded upperclass crews are rowing. The first crew, though powerful, is still rough and lacks snap. The three lower crews, on the other hand have more life, but fail to get a good leg drive. All the crews hang at the catch, a fault which has lately seemed worse at the Newell than at the Weld. The Newell Freshmen have been finally organized and no more changes will be made unless absolutely necessary. On the first crew, a powerful leg drive has been attained, but at the expense of clipping and rushing. The lower crews are mostly inexperienced...
...stroke, the men getting a hard catch, a strong, steady push with the legs, but finishing in with the arms, their bodies in an almost slumping position, and getting a quick, smooth recover typical of the professional sculler. The men finish the stroke with their bodies almost perpendicular; they drive their legs down well together and have a steady recover: At present the Yale crew is better together and a smoother running machine than the Harvard boat...
...Kernan hit a three-base hit into centerfield. Wendell followed with a two-bagger, which brought Kernan in. Coolidge reached first by being hit by the ball. Stillman hit to short and was put out at first. In the second, Randall made a remarkable catch of a foul drive to the right of first. In the fifth Wilder singled. Myers then hit a grounder to Stillman who fielded Wilder out at second, whence Coolidge shot the ball over to first in time to put out Myers. This double play retired Pennsylvania. In the eighth Coolidge reached first on Noble...
...Freshman crew took a short row up-stream yesterday afternoon, coached by R. F. Blake '99 and H. Bancroft '97, and showed some improvement over the work of last week. Although some of the men still have a tendency to wash out at the finish, the leg drive is stronger and the whole crew seems to have more life. The stroke rowed, however, is very slow, and when it is quickened the work becomes ragged, and the boat rolls. The crew will probably take a harder row today in the new shell built by Davy for use in the race...
...more valuable man in the waist of the boat. Brownell is also a good stroke, but his distance is two miles and it is felt that he would shorten the stroke in the last two miles of a four mile race. McGrew has always been able to drive a crew well, and has improved since the beginning of the season in his beat and in getting a quick catch...
