...obliged to wear outer wrappings of one kind or another on the way to one's lectures, but what to do with these garments when one has arrived at the lecture room is often a puzzie. There are very few rooms where there is any chance to hang up coats and hats; the result is that a man has to sit beside his damp clothing throughout an hour, much to the discomfort of both himself and those about him. We see no reason why, in the smaller rooms at least, suitable hooks should not be placed in convenient places...
...good hold on the water until the stroke was partially pulled through, while Yale 'caught' the water right at the beginning. In the recover there was also a marked difference, Yale taking it so slowly on their slides as to give the observer the impression that there was a 'hang.' Harvard, on the other hand, made a quick recover, and the arms, bodies and slides looked as if they were thrown aft in a bunch, the blade being thrown quickly down to the water at the catch." In 1887 the same difference was observable, though Harvard had a much faster...
...oars on the starboard side have a strong tendency to get high off the water; number 7 especially might improve his rowing by lowering his oar a foot or two in the recover. Most of the men kick out their slides during the stroke and several (notably 4) hang at the finish. Yesterday they rowed in the following order: Lothrop stroke, Tyson 7, Vaughan 6, Fessenden 5, Herrick 4, Pulsifer 3, Chamberlain 2, Crowninshield...
...very rough. The men fail to row the stroke well out and get forward promptly on the recover. They are also slow to get the oar into the water, and rush the slides. Some of them are so slow getting forward as to give the effect of a bad hang. The names of the men who rowed yesterday are as follows: Longworth stroke, Tallant 7, Finlay 6, Blanchard 5, Randol 4, Hale and Bishop 2, Parker bow. Fitzhugh who usually rows 4 and Shaw who is generally at 2, were absent...
...freshmen look better than the '92 men looked last year. They have less hang and more dash. In the latter respect they have been making a great improvement. They have the roughness one would expect to see in freshmen. They row short, go back too far, reach out too far, and jerk the oars out of the water, but on the other hand they control their slides pretty well and get some power into the oars. Alexander, L. S., has been coaching. The men are, Keyes stroke, Davis 7, Vail 6, Kelton 5, Slade 4, Earle 3, Hathaway 2, Burgess...
