...their legs perhaps better than any other of the class crews. A fault which they have not yet overcome is jerking in their arms at the finish. Besides these more prominent faults the crew as a whole do not catch the water quickly enough, and are a bit rough rough sometimes in their handling of the oars. Nevertheless, in spite of these faults, '98 should make a good race for first place. They keep their boat traveling very steadily on her keel, so that the men, individually powerful, can use their strength to the greatest advantage. Rust, last year...
Although the '99 crew has lost two of its regular men, it is showing up well. The catch needs livening up, as does the beginning of the recover. The blade work is a bit ragged and there is a tendency to bury the oars too deep. The power when once applied is well sustained to the finish of the stroke. On the whole, barring further accidents, the crew should make a strong bid for a front place on race day. Conroy who has replaced Holden at stroke, tends to bury his oar too deep and is slow on the catch...
...half-mile had a lead of a length. From here the B. A. A. coxswain steered a shorter course out in the river, while the '99 boat continued to follow the wall, thus losing considerable distance. B. A. A. let her run at the mile a bit over a length behind the '99 crew, which continued rowing for another half mile...
...appear tomorrow is hardly up to the standard, certainly not as good as last week's issue Spring, the Junior dinner and the vacation are treated in a rather happy vein editorially. The centre picture, "Harvard after dark," by A. K. Moe '97, is a very creditable bit of work in a somewhat different vein from the general run of Lampoon illustrations. The "Constitution of the Guff Club," and "A Hunting Song," the latter presented as an extract from "Ralegh in Guiana," are both clever hits and funny, a statement that cannot truthfully be made of the remaining contributions that...
...number of the Advocate, out today, contains matter of a creditable and interesting nature. The poetry is unusually good. Perhaps the best of the short poems is "Through the Mist," by Walter Winsor,- a pleasing and vivid description. "A Song of June," by R. T. Fisher is a charming bit of rhyme, although the subject has long been a well-worn one. "Atlantis," a more ambitious effort by J. F. Brice, is certainly creditable, and would be very good but for its occasional vagaries of metre...
