The '90 Crew.

The '90 crew that is rowing at present is made up entirely of new men. Crehore, captain, has had water on the knee and has not begun rowing yet. All the other old men are either candidates for the university crew or have not yet presented themselves. The crew has all the faults that are peculiar to new men. They lack control over their bodies, and never having rowed in the water, are very irregular. The crew has been rowing somewhat as follows, although the make up is not at all decided as yet: Stroke, Vaughan, 160 lbs.; 7, Parker, 158; 6, Hubbard, 155; 5, Pulsifer, 168; 4, Hill, 160; 3, Gorham, 158; 2, Bigelow, 155; 1, Chamberlain, 160.

The personal faults are as follows:

No. 8. Is slow at both ends of the stroke and does not put enough life into his work. He should have a care to keeping the stroke more regular.

No. 7. Should use his stretcher more in rowing and should sit up to his work better. He breaks his arms too soon.

No. 6. Slumps badly at the finish, and has a tendency to drop forward at the full reach. He rows too mechanically.

No. 5. Should keep his shoulders down and not break his arms so soon.

No. 4. Rows very loosely. He drops forward at full reach and meets at the finish. He should sit up and use his stretcher more.

No. 3. He swings towards his oar, and goes back too far Should use his stretchers better and not break his arms so soon.

No. 2. Very irregular and should get better control of himself in better parts of the stroke. He is slow in getting his arms away at the finish.

Bow. Goes back too far and does not get any body reach. He meets his oar and breaks his arms too soon.

There are a great many candidates, and all seem to be trying hard for places in the boat. The crew is coached by its captain.
