...crew of last year was also a powerful one, but did not win. The seniors are, therefore, not full of confidence, but view with zealous eyes any improvements made by their rivals of '86 and '87. The marked faults of the senior crew are a bad finish, and two deep a dip; some of the men settle at the finish, and rush the recover. They are now rowing as follows...

Now the expenditure of ten dollars would right this state of things: a small tile pipe would remedy the first defect, and a few hours labor straightening the stones would remedy the second. Let us hope that...
