...sharp run round to the Gymnasium by way of North Avenue, where they are put through dumb bell exercises. As a whole the squad, which now numbers about 35, has showed marked improvement; the men are not so awkward in sliding as at first, although they are still very slow at starting. The fielding is rather cleaner and the men seem to be learning how to handle the ball. On the other hand, the throwing, especially after fumbles is apt to be very wild. S. W. Lewis 1900, H. Foster '98, and A. Davis '98 have been taking turns...
Haughton '99 is good, but his motion is too slow and gives the runner too much chance to steal. Cozzens '98 has the makings of a 'Varsity pitcher; he is very speedy and has effective curves, but he needs better control. Fitz '99, of last year's Freshman team, does fair work, but he has poor control of his drop ball...
...remaining positions are H. Clapp, 1900, F. W. Palfrey '98, M. Green 1L., L. Luquer '99, A. B. Lapsly '99, and W. A. Talcott 1L. Clapp has a weak wrist and is listless; Palfrey is quick but has little form; Green shows his lack of experience; Luquer is slow; Lapsly is painstaking but not quick on the parry; Talcott slashes a good deal. If interest is kept up and the men continue to work a good team ought to be turned out in spite of the general lack of experience. It is hoped that the college tournament which will probably...
...water, if the weather permits, the early part of next week. The drudgery of the tank work has been lighter than usual this year, but a change to the river is welcomed. The water in the tank is heavy and has had a tendency to make the men slow in their work. To counteract this the crew has taken a system of light quick exercises with sharp runs out of doors in connection with the other more heavy work...
...faults of the crew are partly due to the tank and are made more apparent by the extremely slow stroke they have been rowing. Most of the men swing back too far and pull out of the water at the finish. They are slow in getting their hands away and are apt to be careless about time. A considerable improvement has been made of late in getting the oars down to the catch and in turning back from the recover without pause, and the men are also controlling their slides more evenly. Mr. Storrow and Mr. Mumford will continue...
