Although Newhall at number 7 was slow in getting his hands away from his body on the recovery at times, he pulled a strong oar with a powerful leg drive. Tappan at 2 rowed in clean form, as did. Flint at bow, but Glass, who rowed 4, showed a tendency to list to the port side of the boat and R. Bacon at number 6 was somewhat ragged in his blade work, especially at the finish of his stroke...
...last day the men rowed together, the boat was heavy and spaced poorly between strokes. The catch was uneven, several men had very little bevel on their blades, and on the port side there was considerable splashing on the catch. Fish at number 2 rushed his slide and was slow getting his hands away from his body on the recovery, and at 6 R. Bacon did not get the full force of his shoulders into his stroke at the finish. Richardson at 5 and Newhall at 7 were the liveliest men in the boat. Richardson was especially strong...
...stream into the basin, but yesterday went upstream to the Brighton bridge in short stretches. If the weather is fine this afternoon the crews will row at 2.30 o'clock and will have a race. The crew as a whole is weak at the finish, washes out and is slow at getting the hands away. Ellis at stroke does not get the full benefit of his long swing by catching at the full reach and carrying the stroke through. Fitzgerald at 6 shortens his stroke and fails to put his shoulders on hard. Hanfstaengl at 3 shoves vigorously with...
...overcome his tendency to start his body before his oar on the recovery, and he follows the rythm of the stroke much better than he did a week ago. Whitney coxswained yesterday instead of Blagden. In a row upstream as far as the Birghton bridge an unusually slow stroke was kept and Coach Wray paid special attention to lengthening the pull through the water. The men's catch was regular throughout, the boat spaced well and rode on a very even keel. The new shell, which is being built by W. H. Davy, of Cambridge, will probably be ready...
...work of the crew was quite satisfactory. Filley kept a moderately slow stroke until the last half-mile, and at the finish was rowing about 33 to the minute. The other men in the boat followed him well until the spurt when the blade work became ragged and several members of the crew rushed their slides. As a whole the crew rowed in good form. Arnold coxswained in Blagden's place...
