WELD AND NEWELL ROWING.

The Weld and Newell class crews are now rapidly getting into form for the race on April 9. There have been but few changes in the boats lately and it is probable they will race in their present order. It is as yet early to judge of the comparative speed of the various crews, but on the whole, those at the Newell seem to have made more progress and to be more in unison than their rivals at the Weld.

The men in the Weld Law School boat are powerful, but they do not get the full weight of their strong leg drive. They have a tendency to rush the slides, causing them io hang at the catch and to clip.

The Newell Law School crew is better together, but the men do not get their power on from the stretcher; they are also slow with their hands and rush their slides.

The Weld Senior crew has been slow in developing, and seems to lack life. The men have the usual faults of hurrying the recovery, a poor leg drive, and a weak finish.

The Newell 1901 boat is well together, but as is the case with nearly all the Newell crews, the finish is weak, and the men are slow with their hands. The catch, however, is good.

The Weld Juniors are heavy, but they do not use their weight to advantage. They have a good catch, but the power comes off the oar before the end of the stroke.

The worst faults of the Newell 1902 crew are slowness in applying power at the catch and a weak finish. The blade work is somewhat ragged.

Rapid progress has been made by the Weld Sophomore crew. The boat runs well between the strokes, and the men have good control of their slides, but in spite of a hard catch, the power comes off before the end of the stroke.

The Newell Sophomore boat has been handicapped by the temporary loss of two men, which has caused a certain lack of smoothness. The men also do not pull the stroke through well.

Weld Law School -- Stroke, Snite; 7, Sherburne; 6, Jenkins; 5, Butler; 4, Davis; 3, Fairweather; 2, Stipp; bow, Hawkins.
