...Wilcox, '88 S., 155 lbs., is slow with his hands, pulls through the water unsteadily, finishes too shallow and does not lift his oar out clean. He is an old man and what is lost in weight is more than compensated for by the endurance which his age gives...
...Brewster, '91, 170 lbs., is a new man and has many faults. His oar is too deep for the first half of the pull and at the finish he draws his hands into his lap so as to allow his oar to wash out. He also drops over at the catch and is not as steady as he should be but has very good staying powers...
...Shoots slowly; blade work is not good; rows his oar too deep...
