6. Shea. Swings away from his oar on the recover and pulls out.

5. Waters. Slow in starting body forward and getting his legs on.

4. Fay. Clips and is apt to break his arms too quickly and jerk at the finish.

3. Blake. Reaches round with outside shoulder, apt to rush his slide and clip.

2. Thompson. Slow in getting body forward, apt to get too much bevel and not quick enough with shoulders.

Bow. Loring. Apt to be behind at catch and shoot.

The crew as o whole is apt to be unsteady at both ends of the stroke. They catch hard, however, and pull the stroke through. The crew has been coached lately with special reference to the swing and body work but, attention will be paid to leg work at New London.

The average weight of the crew is 164 5-8 this year against 160 1-2 of last years freshmen.

The men are strong in proportion to their weight and ought to row a very fast race.

The men leave Harvard Square at 12 o'clock.
