...freshman crew is rowing in very poor form, and Mr. Kidder will have his hands full to get it into shape in time for the race. Its work is principally remarkable for its shortness and for a clip at the beginning of the stroke which destroys whatever benefit it might derive from a fairly good body swing; in fact, the men's heave with the shoulders is quite over before their oar blades take the water, and no sooner are the oars fairly buried than they are allowed to work out by the hands being drawn in very...
...LONDON, CONN., June 3. - The Harvard 'varsity and freshmen crews were on the river today and put in time at short rows. Watson coached the 'varsity eight and Kidder the freshman. The weather is quite cool, a thunder shower this afternoon lowering the temperature very much. The crews are in good condition. The launch arrived yesterday and was made use of today...

Rice was a promising candidate in the tank and has rowed before on one of the B. A. A. Junior crews. He was taken on recently to fill one of the places made vacant by the recent epidemic. The order...

The tendency of the men throughout the boat is still to row their oars out of the water badly at the finish. The discipline of the crew is apparently lax when the men are rowing, and the time is often bad because of the tendency of several men to look out of the boat, a habit of inattention which cannot be too strongly condemned in a freshman crew just beginning its work...
