The university crew has got four new candidates; Powers, '92, who rowed on the freshman crew last year, Fitzhugh, and Blanchard '91, and Keyes '89, none of whom have rowed before. The crew rowed yesterday in the following order: Goddard stroke, Perkins 7, Powers 6, Upton 5, Jones 4, Nelson 3, Hartridge 2, Herrick 1. Mr. Keyes has been coaching regularly. Last week the crew began to row a full stroke on the fixed seats for the first time. The motions on the machine are still made very slow and simple with the idea of getting the groundwork of the stroke as thoroughly as possible. At present they simply row a few strokes without bending the arms, then a few full ones, and occasionally simply go through the motions without the oars.

It is useless to express any opinion as to how the crew is rowing, but it is fair to say that they go through their motions with a good deal of earnestness. Hutchinson, Tilton and Finlay are not yet rowing; they will commence soon after the mid-years. Mr. R. A. F. Penrose, '84, who rowed stroke on the crews of '85 and, 86 looked at the crew yesterday. The men will probably row in the tank by Wednesday or Thursday.
