...faithful a student, to go into an examination and do himself justice or fairly test his technical knowledge of a subject, without a careful review of the matter he is to be examined on. It is the review of a subject that drives it home, that makes it fast in the tenacious grasp of memory. But when do we get the opportunity for this review? During the three weeks allotted to the examinations, you answer. But what if the most of our examinations come during the first week, as is the case with many, where then is the alternative...

Legate fails to get enough body reach forward, does not always pull his oar "home," and, although improving, does not get his arms out straight at the beginning of the recover. He too has the fault of letting his body hurry forward. At the finish he sometimes lets go of the lever...
