His stroke was well proportioned and full of life. At that time the crew was rowing as well as if not better than it is today. The Columbia race was won easily by six lengths...

The crew this year seems to be different from the Yale crews of other years. The men seem to row shorter, and the long, hard catch and finish are not so pronounced as in former years. The crew is very well together, and a well-balanced and smoothly-moving combination, although a sinking of the boat and slight check between strokes is perceptible...
