The candidates for the '94 class crew have now been in training for about a month and on the whole the crew is up to the usual standard at this time of the year. The coaching will be done by Waters '94. At present there is but one of last year's eight, Heckscher, on the crew. However several others are expected out after the mid-years. Weed and Crane last year's substitutes are now rowing on the first crew. The candidates and their positions as they are now rowing are:
2nd 1st
Weed Stroke McDonald
Heckscher No 7 Soutter
Crane 6 Earle
Beals 5 Short
Smith 4 Lane
Gardner 3 Long
Carter 2 Morgan
Atwood Bow Damon
The general faults of the crew as a whole are "settling after coming to the perpendicular" and "driving on the legs at the catch." The time is fairly good. Following are the weights and most apparent faults of the individual men.
Weed, stroke, 165, does not sit easy and is stiff; his stroke is irregular at times.
Heckscher No. 7,164, does not turn enough with his shoulders and drives his legs down at the catch.
Crane, No. 6, 152, has too much up and down motion and is unsteady.
Beals, No 5,160. is too stiff and does not get enough reach.
