This afternoon the four took a long paddle up-stream which seemed to shake the men together somewhat. Francis was back...
...very heavy, to the minds of some too heavy; yet with all their weight, the men are not awkward in the boat. Their blades go in fairly well together, their inboard work is smooth and the boat travels well between strokes. To the layman the stroke seems to differ somewhat from that of former years and shows the effect of professional coaching. This is especially marked in the last part of the stroke, the men getting a hard catch, a strong, steady push with the legs, but finishing in with the arms, their bodies in an almost slumping position...
...hour's work in fielding. Carr played at third base and Matthews moved to centre field.

...stopped noticeably between strokes. The crews returned at 11 and the men who had examinations took them in the tent. In the late afternoon, under favorable conditions, the University crew went over the four-mile course. The boat was still unsteady, tending to fall over to starboard and hitching somewhat between strokes. McGrew showed ability to put up the stroke, raising it at one period to 36.

"The Renaissance Essay of Walter Pater," by K. C. M. Sills, "The Prose Style of Thomas Hardy," by J. P. Sanborn, Jr., and "Lowell's Political Ideas and Ideals," by H. L. Warner...
