Both are very smooth oars and row a long, well-proportioned stroke, but of the two Cutler is a great deal the heavier and more rugged. By the time of the race both crews should be fast and in the best of condition. A prediction...
...University four has suffered from repeated changes of order, but in spite of this is a very fast crew. Although Sargent was removed from the University eight his efficiency as a stroke is by no means gone, and his work as stroke in the four is invaluable. Severance at 3, with two years' experience on the University eight, is the best man in the boat. His rowing is always of a high order and he steadies the whole crew. This year's Yale four does not seem to be up to the usual standard. The crew seems to row much...
