...good deal of life in the boat; there is little or no hang at either end of the stroke; and improvement has been made in keeping the pressure on all through the stroke, so that there is little let up. All the men have more or less serious individual faults. Bow: rowed in '87 freshman crew; chief fault is tendency to raise his hand at the finish instead of drawing them in straight; this makes him finish rather poorly, and shortens his stroke at the end; it also makes him feather under water. 2: never rowed before; strong...
...however, a decided change for the better began to be noticeable. This improvement was due partly, though not wholly, to the fact that the crew changed from the '87 boat into the new '85 shell. Since then the crew has braced up and improvement has been steady. The bad fault of rushing the slide in coming forward has been to a great extent over-come; but more improvement in this particular is necessary. The slump at the finish has been partly overcome, though some of the men, especially 3, need to pay strict attention to this point. The time...
...criticism of the men. Bow: rows oar out at finish; catches ahead; has good body movement, except a little drop at the catch, and does not swing back too far. 2: a strong man; rows pretty well; over-reaches somewhat and fizzles a little on the finish; his chief fault is that he does not pay attention to time or to the boat. 3: very hard worker, but gets in work at the wrong time; does not get weight on to his stretcher until half through his stroke; has bad jerk at finish; slumps badly at finish, and swings back...
...base running and coaching. In this respect our nine's play has been wretched in almost every game which it has played this year, and if it had not been for its splendid fielding and heavy batting we should have lost more than one game simply through this fault. There are doubtless, reasons why every man cannot be a good base runner, but there is no excuse for the poor coaching, which has cost us many a run this season. If there is anything which disgusts spectators it is to see a man fail to make a base when opportunity...
...looks at the presentation of this play, as an effort of professional actors, there are many personal faults that can be mentioned, and some of them, from this standpoint are glaring. But, one commits a serious mistake by judging the personal acting with this spirit. The play was an earnest endeavor of amateurs, and one cannot expect the personal excellencies of professionals, Mr. Jones as Brutus lacked many of the essential attributes of that character, but as Antony, he showed a good conception of his part, and a ready and well marked adaptation of action and speech to his ideal...
