The Freshman Crew.

Bow. Should come back with a strong sweep, and should show more life. Must swing more from his hips. Is apt to hang both at the finish and full reach. Fails to use his stretcher well.

1st substitute. Is rather slow in his movements. Should show rather more life, and should be careful not to hang, especially at the finish.

2nd substitute. Must sit up to it better. Comes forward to the full reach without controlling his body sufficiently. Should keep his shbulders well down and back.

As will be seen, the same general faults run straight through the boat. The whole crew should be very careful about the time, and should keep their arms perfectly straight. Then, too, they must remember to keep their shoulders down. But perhaps the most noticeable fault is the hang at the finish. The men, especially stroke, should come right forward at the end of each stroke.

Mr. Mumford, '87, has been coaching the crews lately.
