They have discarded the old Harvard swing and adopted a stroke closely resembling that used by professionals, which consists of a shorter body-swing, a longer slide and a quick recover. The advantage claimed for this stroke is that, with it, more power can be exerted, as legs, back, and arms are used simultaneously. Although Yale abandoned a similar stroke after last year's defeat, the seniors feel confident that for a two-mile race it can be made a success. It must be admitted that they propel their boat through the water at a rate, which would win the race, if kept up for two miles.

All the men handle their oars skillfully without throwing water or jarring the boat. They seem determined to make a great, final effort to score one victory for '84 in the class races before graduating.

The juniors with seven old men in their boat might be expected to row better. They are, perhaps, suffering from over confidence, a fault that has more than once lost a race. There is, however, good mettle in the boat, and great improvement is to be expected. The men are not gentle enough in shooting out their hands, but jar the boat from bow to stern, thereby materially affecting its speed. The following are the names of the men:
