The following are the most noticeable faults: Bow buckets badly, bends his arms at the full reach, hollows his chest, and reaches short. Two is slow on the recover with his hands, gets his oar off the feather too soon, and lacks life in his stroke. Three drops his hands at the full reach, turns his oar too much at the catch, and is inclined to hurry. Four holds his head badly, and does n't watch the stroke, does not pull his hands in high, and lacks life in his stroke. Five rows a strong but unfinished stroke; he does not reach with his back, buries his oar-blade at the beginning of the stroke, and takes his oar out too soon. Six has been obliged to stay out of the boat for a few days, and has got a little out of form; he does not use his back enough, pulls his hands in low down, and swings out on the full reach. Seven buckets, feathers under water, and fails to turn his oar enough at the catch. He is inclined to hurry the stroke. Stroke buckets, drops his head back at the full reach, and hunches up his shoulders at the end of the stroke.
The general appearance of the crew has much improved in the past week: the stroke is longer, but needs to be well rowed out; the feather is flat, and, in several cases, too early. A little better time and a little more life would make a marked difference.
Very little can be said about the Senior Crew at the present writing, as three of the regular crew have not been pulling this week. Cowdin has been obliged to give up rowing, and Crocker has taken the position of stroke, thereby adding much strength to the crew. Brewster will resume his position next week, but it is doubtful whether Taussig returns to the crew. Seventy-nine does not, on the whole, stand much chance of coming in first.
