4. Swings back too far. Must keep legs under him and not let them flop about.
3. Rows altogether with arms. Doesn't catch hard enough. Is rather stiff. Must be more deliberate and keep better time.
2. Doesn't sit up to it. Rows too much with arms and doesn't get enough reach. Swings too far back and slumps at the finish.
Bow. Gats no reach. Must sit up to it better and not swing so far back.
The crew as a whole doesn't sit up to its work, and the time at present is very bad. Some of the new men are working better than the old ones. Captain Parker has done all the coaching.
It would be a great help to the crews if some care could be taken of the machines. In previous years the machines have been under the care of a man whose business it was to keep them in order. At present they are very much out of order, and , moreover, without care. If this need could be attended to, the crews would doubtless be willing to pay for it, as rowing on some of the machines is at times almost useless.
