7. Rather hard for 7 to swing well with stroke as his build is so different. Is apt to slump and row out at the finish.

6. Meets badly, and does not keep good time. Rows his oar out at the finish. Does not get his back and shoulders on well at the beginning of the stroke.

5. Very stiff in his movements, especially at the finish. Swings in towards his oar badly. Fails to cover his oar well at the beginning of the stroke and does not sit up to his work.

4. Has a tendency to row jerkily, and does not keep his oar well covered. Uses one leg more than the other. Rows gracefully and applies his strength more advantageously than any other man in the boat.

3. Slumps badly at both ends of the stroke. Although the heaviest man in the boat he fails to row a strong oar as he applies his strength very badly. Keeps his blade but half covered most of the time. Is slow on the recover, which puts out the rest of the men.

2. Breaks up the uniformity of the boat by raising his oar too high on the full reach, and then splashing it into the water. Does not swing over the keel and swings back too far. Does not finish neatly.

1. Feathers under water. Buries his oar too deeply at the middle of the stroke. Does not row well from his stretcher, which makes his oar wabble up and down throughout the entire stroke. Clips badly at beginning of stroke.

As a whole the crew should be careful about their swing; should row their oars well through at the finish, and sit up to it at the full reach.

During the spring vacation the crew have rowed twice a day, generally averaging between 10 and 15 miles.
