The class crews have now settled down to hard work, and every afternoon row in the gymnasium with an occasional "paddle" in the tank. The senior crew shows very little energy in getting ready for the races. There are so few candidates that there is no competition for seats in the tank. Of the old men, Perry, Hebard and Perkins are candidates for the 'varsity. Davis has not decided whether he will row or not, and Pfeiffer has not time to row.

The candidates rowed in the gymnasium this afternoon in the following order:-

8. Dustan 155 lbs.

7. Hight 158 lbs.

6. Marvin 152 lbs.

5. Bartholow 168 lbs.

4. Knapp 150 lbs.

3. Parker (captain) 158 lbs.

2. Proctor 170 lbs.

1. Harding 148 lbs.

There are only three old men, Dustan, Hight, and Parker, captain, who are candidates for the crew. The rest are new men.

The crew as a whole, have no control over themselves and in consequence drop forward at full reach and slump at the finish. They break their arms too soon and fail to get the idea, that the stretcher is of any use in rowing. The bad condition of the crew is due to the lack of candidates and the lack of proper coaching, for they have no regular coach.

The individual faults are as follows:

8.- Jerks at the beginning badly and goes back too far.

7.- Goes back too far, breaks his arms too soon, and rows mechanically. Should put more life in his work. His rowing is dead.
