Captain Hutchinson is unfortunately unable to row at present on account of water on the knee. It is hoped, however, that he will begin work again after the Class Races. One or two of the crew have had a little experience in rowing at school, but with these possible exceptions none of the men have been in a shell before.

When the crew went on the water they rowed a very jerky stroke, catching hard and rowing out very short. Lately, however, under the coaching of Mr. Brooks, '87, they have been doing much better work, the catch being much easier, and the entire stroke longer and smoother. There are, however, a number of individual faults, a few of which are as follows:

Stroke-Must be careful not to hang on the full reach.
