Since the crew went to work on the river, it has lost three days there. Two of these days were spent at work in the tank and the third day, last Friday, the crew improved by taking a run over Corey Hill.
During this time Lynam, M. S., has commenced work with the rest of the men. He has not been put into the crew yet. Perkins has been coaching him in a pair-oar with Slade. Adams has been doing some pair-oar coaching, then going out with the crew later in the afternoon. It is unsatisfactory to try to do much coaching without the launch. Today the launch is expected and the coaches will be enabled to do much more effective work.
The men are all up in weight and in fine condition. The individual work can not be much criticized under the present condition as it can not be well directed by the coach in the stern of the boat. As a whole the men seem to row fairly well together for this time of the year. The blade work seems also to be fairly good. The stroke so far has been kept very slow so that it is impossible to form any judgment of what the new men will do when they are put into a shell.
Below is the order of the men as they have rowed for several days, also their weights taken Saturday night:
Name. Position. Weight.
Ninde '93, Stroke, 170
Kelton '93, 7, 202
Acton M. S., 6, 198
Cummings '93, 5, 177
Rantoul '92, 4, 168
Waters, '94 3, 180
Winthrop L. S., 2, 172
Newell '94, Bow, 170
Subs.:
Weed '92, 170
Slade '93, 174
Lynam M. S., 170
Vail is still unable to row. He is at the training table, so that he may be in the best possible condition when sufficiently recovered to begin work - if that time comes at all.
