The crew has been coached by Alexander, L. S., and has done good work under his charge; he will coach the crew while at New London. The members of the crew are too young, and consequently have not control of their bodies and lack firmness and precision, The crew is much younger than usual, the average age being only about eighteen years. They are not steady, and are stiff and "loggy;" they roll badly and therefore their time is bad; their blade work is sloppy. The members of the crew are very absent-minded, and this tends to increase the faults in their rowing form. When the oars are in the water the men lose time in getting their weight on, and do not sweep firmly through; the stroke is irregular, and there are not enough firm oars to keep the boat steady.
The following detailed criticism is furnished by the coach: stroke, drops at full reach, and does not finish soon enough; shortens finish, meets his oar, and does not keep a firm oar.
7, Too stiff, does not get a good swing, is slow and does not help stroke enough; clips, and feathers under the water.
6. Is not well braced on the stretchers, rushes his slide, catches the water ahead of the stroke, and does not drive his oar through, hangs at full reach and rows short.
5. Slow; sweeps through well but slumps at the finish; starts slow, and catches behind the stroke, because he lets his outside shoulder go at full reach.
4. Absent-minded; has improved since class races, but has the common fault of rushing at full reach, and is slow in getting the power on his oar; hits the water on his recovery.
3. Clumsy; rushes his slide badly, and catches the water ahead of the stroke; swings back too far, shoots low and does not keep up the time of the stroke; oar is fair but not free enough.
2. Short man and cannot get a long sweep; is strong but absent-minded; clips, feathers under the water, and drops at full reach.
1. Stiff, drops at full reach. clips, and rows short.
