...which there was a distinct falling off in form. The men were unable to catch together and lost the hard drive on the finish, which was hurried. This made them force the recovery and lose control of their bodies, and so fail to keep the boat on an even keel. The last few days, however, have seen steady improvement. With a better proportion and a harder finish the boat showed good power and travelled well between strokes. On several stretches yesterday most of the faults were overcome and the boat went very well, although the bow men were a little...
...boathouse to form two crews, so the development has necessarily been slow. Both boats have shown a tendency to hang at the catch, and space poorly, but the Newell crew has been together longer, and therefore has a better rhythm and can keep the shell on a more even keel. A number of the men rowed on the same dormitory crew, and their improvement in the last few days has been more rapid, so that the Newell crew is expected to win. The orders of the crews for the race will be as follows...
Some minor changes have occurred in the orders of the second and third crews during the past three days. Both crews have shown consistent improvement and attained a more even keel with each day's rowing. In the next few weeks these eights should develop so as to be able to give the University crew a good try-out in the three and one-half mile handicap race which will end the season...
...captained the 1913 crew, was unable to report yesterday on account of a slight sickness. He is expected to report at the end of the week, when he will probably be put in at stroke, Newton replacing Lincoln at 4. Although the boat was rather unsteady on its keel, the University eight rowed fairly well together and showed good blade work for the first day out in a new order. The probable return of L. Withington '11 in the spring should greatly strengthen the eight and make the prospects for a fast eight better than ever...
...comparison of the two crews Harvard, as last year, is superior to Yale in physique, weight, and experience. Harvard, at present, seems to be by far the smoother rowing crew. The Yale shell, when going at the low stroke of 27, is not well on its keel. Many individual faults are apparent, and the body swing of the crew is poor. Wodell at 7 has a poor finish, and Campbell at 4, weighing over 190 pounds, is very awkward. The latter's rowing makes a bad break in the boat. In spite of these faults, the boat seems to travel...
