C.<Stotrow of: Harvard +é- cently made public this statement about his crew: | : “Since the order in which the crew will row has been settled but a few days its capabilities are known to neither oarsmen nor coaches. This does not mean that the men have not had plenty - of work and been thoroughly tried out, —in fact, even more than usual. Be- sides rowing in the class and club races, the latter on May 22, the two University crews have had constant trial spins that have amounted to races. By this plan the work has been much more inter- esting, while the only loss has been the long period of rowing together, which Yale has had. “As a whole the crew is not thor- oughly well together. The catch is fairly good, although the men still clip considerably. The weakest faults are great slowness in getting the hands away after the finish of the stroke and in following with the bodies in the re- covery. The blades come out of the water too soon. At times the crew has shown some speed and sonsiderable life and dash.” got He is 20 years old, weighs. Cameron Greenleaf, ’990 The general opinion seems to be that Harvard’s crew, while not a finished one, is very fast. The men average between two and three pounds lighter than Yale’s.
