...stroke starts his slide too quickly. He is strong and is to be relied on to do hard work. No. 6, D. R. Vail '93, weight 180, follows No. 7 well in the stroke. He doesn't feather his oar quickly enough, and this makes him slow on the first part of the recover. No. 5, C. K. Cummings '93, weight 180, is very irregular, finding it very difficult to row ten strokes alike. He does not get his arms away quickly enough on recover, and does not swing straight over the keel. He rows hard and would be very...

He rows smoothly and improves in some of his work. 5 is apt to be very unsteady. He feathers...
...half the good of their coaching by keeping their minds alert and attentive. It is time now for the crew to decide whether it is going to win next June. The time and watermanship are not so good as before the class race. The whole crew is slow at the catch in getting hold of the water and does not put much of any leg work into the stroke...
