Dana, Sturgis and Hartridge are the only new men. Hartridge rowed on last year's freshman crew at Yale. They are the lightest crew on the river. They jerk in their arms at the finish and do not sit up well. Their watermanship is very good. They keep excellent time. The men are very quick and row with a great deal of dash and spirit. Mr. W. A. Brooks has been coaching the crew.

The freshmen are the heaviest of the class crews. They do not get their legs into the stroke. There seems to be no life in the boat. They overreach badly. They do not keep a firm grip on their oars, and fail to get the benefit of the end of their stroke in consequence. Their time is bad. They are extremely careless and have had individual faults. The stroke which they have been practising is much too slow for a race. Mr. Hooper has been coaching the crew of late. Alexander, the stroke of the University boat, has also been giving them a great deal of attention.
