The '88 Crew.

The Junior crew has finally been chosen, and is at work with the other eights on the Charles. Four of the men have recently been sick with throat trouble, but with the exception of Bradlee they are now all right again. Bradlee unfortunately will not be able to row again this year, which will be a serious loss to the crew. Of the other men, Capt. Adams, Porter, Churchill and Hale are of last year's crew, and Woodman rowed freshman year, while Smith, Appleton and Carpenter are new men.

The following are the names and weights of the eight:

Weight.

Stroke. - C. F. Adams, 145

7. - H. D. Hale, 154

6. - T. S. Smith, 155

5. - A. Churchill, 177

4. - F. C. Woodman, 167

3. - J. W. Appleton, 160

2. - C. A. Porter, 154

Bow - G. A. Carpenter, 160

Coxswain. - Mitchell, 90

Substitutes. - Baldwin and Blossom.

The following are a few of the individual faults:

Stroke - Must sit up to it well. especially at the finish. Should be careful not to hang at the full reach.

7 - Goes back too far. Must pull his oar in more smoothly, and not jerk at the finish. Should be careful to use his outside hand. Apt to hang and catch behind stroke.

6 - Fails to get enough body reach, and consequently slumps at the full reach. Must swing over the keel. Apt to go back too far and slump on the finish.

5 - Hunches up his shoulders badly during the stroke, which makes a very bad slump at the finish. Fails to get enough body reach or slide. Rows his oar out. Much watch his man more carefully.

4 - Fails to get his body swing at the beginning of the stroke. Should keep his knees well under him during the recover. Clips badly, and rows out. Is very slow, and should follow No. 5 more closely. Must use his stretcher to better advantage.

3 - Must sit up to it better all through the stroke. Should be careful not to bring his oar too much in the middle of his stroke. Is apt to hurry his slide, and fails to work strongly from his stretcher.

2 - Rows very short. Dips badly because his oar is much too high on the full reach. Swings very unevenly. Must be careful to keep his hands far enough apart. Slumps at the finish. Must watch his man closely.

Bow - Swings very unevenly. Fails to get in his work from his stretcher. Binds his oar too much at the middle of his stroke. Rushes his slide. Must keep his knees under him.

Coxswain - Must have a little more confidence in himself, and must watch his course more carefully.

As a whole, the crew should aim especially at getting together. The recover, too, is hurried, and there is a perceptible hang at full reach.
