Stroke. R. F. Rogers, 175

The juniors may be said to lack energy or snap, more regularity in the stroke should be obtained. Although the second eight is not rowing in as good form as the first eight, it is highly probable that some of the men who are strong and heavy will obtain seats in the boat. In the absence of Harris, who is a candidate for the university crew, Dewey is being tried for the position of stroke. For a new man, he is rowing in good form and sets an even stroke.

The Sophomores will profit by the wise policy of their captain of last year in keeping four substitutes at work. As a rule the sophomore crews at Harvard loose a large number of the men who rowed in their freshmen year. Either they are wanted for the university crew, or they are obliged for various reasons to stop rowing after one years experience. The '87 crew, however, have at present five of last year's oarsmen, although six of their men are now candidates for the university crew. Fiske, the captain is rowing stroke this year. The crew rows as follows :

NAME. WEIGHT.

1. W. Alexander, 154

2. B. Tilton, 159

3. J. F. Russell, 155

4. F. Remington. 154

5. F. S. Coolidge, 150

6. W. N. Rantoul, 159

7. A. S. Hardy, 145

8. T. B. Scott, 160

9. W. A. Brooks, 171

Stroke. R. P. Fiske, 156

It it highly probable that the crew at a later period will be reinforced by one or two of the present candidates of the university crew. The crew is at present rowing in very good form. There are of course many individual faults, but of the crew as a whole, it may be said that the time is good, with the exception of that of number nine, and that the body-swing back ward and forward is well controlled. The men should be careful to keep the shoulders down, the chest active, and the arms straight until the back ward swing of the body has been completed. Mumford, '87, is acting as coach.

The composition of the freshman crew will be decided upon in a few days, when an account of it and the university crew will be given.
