Since the rowing started last Wednesday the three eights have indulged in only short work-outs up-stream with a view to smoothing out the almost necessary roughness of the first few days in a new order. Coach Wray has laid special stress on the slide-work of the men individually and as an eight. It is possible that longer paddles down-stream will be given the crews next week with the probable return of Goodale on Monday.

At times Withington at 4 and Hooper at 5 did not bury their blades deep enough into the water, and Waid at 7 was slow in dropping his oar in at the catch.
