...final inning opened discouragingly enough. Beaman fouled out. Winslow struck out. Nichols stepped to the bat and drove his second two-base hit far out to left centre field, scoring a moment later on a terrible wild pitch by Gunderson. Willard was fielded out at first. Brown again failed to find Nichols,- and the game and championship were...
...far as we know, the present crew is the lightest university eight Harvard has ever had; it averages five pounds lighter than either the '83 or '84 crews. But this is no reason why we should not be victorious this year. Our chances for both 'varsity races are good. The men are now rowing pretty well together and the stroke which they row is well adapted to the crew. It must be remembered, however, that Yale has a heavy and powerful crew, and that it is precisely the same as their '84 crew; and the stroke which they...
...heaviest man in the crew; apt to feather under water; is slow in getting away after the finish; is a little rough in his rowing. 4: captain and stroke of '87 freshman crew; a man of tremendous amount of push; his finish is rough, and he swings back too far. 5: substitute on '84 'varsity crew; rowed in Yale race; clips the end of his stroke; does not row smoothly; careless on the recover. 6: rowed in '87 freshman crew; has improved greatly during the year; still rows short, and meets at the finish; faces his blade over more than...
...necessary. The slump at the finish has been partly overcome, though some of the men, especially 3, need to pay strict attention to this point. The time is still poor, and the crew as a whole rows short. The men (except bow and stroke) still swing back too far, and when they get back they jerk in their hands badly instead of flnishing smoothly. This failure to row smoothly applies all through the stroke and, to a greater or less extent, throughout the boat. The great improvement, however, has been in overcoming to a great extent the bad hang which...
...give below individual criticism of the men. Bow: rows oar out at finish; catches ahead; has good body movement, except a little drop at the catch, and does not swing back too far. 2: a strong man; rows pretty well; over-reaches somewhat and fizzles a little on the finish; his chief fault is that he does not pay attention to time or to the boat. 3: very hard worker, but gets in work at the wrong time; does not get weight on to his stretcher until half through his stroke; has bad jerk at finish; slumps badly at finish...
