...oars on the starboard side have a strong tendency to get high off the water; number 7 especially might improve his rowing by lowering his oar a foot or two in the recover. Most of the men kick out their slides during the stroke and several (notably 4) hang at the finish. Yesterday they rowed in the following order: Lothrop stroke, Tyson 7, Vaughan 6, Fessenden 5, Herrick 4, Pulsifer 3, Chamberlain 2, Crowninshield...
...very rough. The men fail to row the stroke well out and get forward promptly on the recover. They are also slow to get the oar into the water, and rush the slides. Some of them are so slow getting forward as to give the effect of a bad hang. The names of the men who rowed yesterday are as follows: Longworth stroke, Tallant 7, Finlay 6, Blanchard 5, Randol 4, Hale and Bishop 2, Parker bow. Fitzhugh who usually rows 4 and Shaw who is generally at 2, were absent...
...freshmen look better than the '92 men looked last year. They have less hang and more dash. In the latter respect they have been making a great improvement. They have the roughness one would expect to see in freshmen. They row short, go back too far, reach out too far, and jerk the oars out of the water, but on the other hand they control their slides pretty well and get some power into the oars. Alexander, L. S., has been coaching. The men are, Keyes stroke, Davis 7, Vail 6, Kelton 5, Slade 4, Earle 3, Hathaway 2, Burgess...
...salient faults in the rowing are as follows: Number 6 swings out of the boat and goes back too far; he fails to grip the water firmly enough at the catch. Number 5 has not recovered from his hang and is weak at the finish. Number four is rather stiff in his movements. Number 2 fails to get his oar in well. Bow is stiff. Yesterday the names and weights were as follows: Stroke, Goddard, 181; 7, Jones, 162; 6, Tilton, 191; 5, Upham, 191; 4, Watriss, 167; 3, Perkins, 169; 2, Nelson, 165; bow, Hutchinson...
...very rough. The faults are too numerous to mention; some of them are as follows: stroke hunches his shoulders at the catch thereby weakening his stroke greatly; 7 is unsteady in his time; 6 goes back too far and is slow with his hands; 5 has a serious hang and is slow at the catch; 4 bends his arms too soon, keeps bad time, rows his oar high in the air on the recover and often feathers under water on account of an uncertain finish; 3, slow with his hands; bow slow at the finish and weak at the catch...
