...Arsenal and back in short stretches, the work of the crew being the best which has been shown during the experimental changes of this week. Although the boat had a tendency to check at the catch on account of the men jabbing their oars into the water with their leg drive applied too suddenly, the body swing was much better and the men were well together. The two fours which will be taken to New London will be definitely picked today...
...crews rowed a low stroke throughout the race, the Juniors averaging from twenty-eight to thirty strokes to the minute and Technology somewhat lower. At the Harvard Bridge Technology was about two lengths ahead, and although displaying less finish than the Junior eight, got in well and showed good leg drive. After they passed the bridge the water became rougher and both crews were compelled to lower the stroke. Here Technology's superior weight told, and although the Juniors were rowing in much better form, the former began to draw away faster. Towards the end of the race both crews...
While sprinting in the Stadium last Friday, R. C. Foster '11 pulled a tendon in his right leg. This injury will undoubtedly keep him out of the Yale meet, and will probably prevent him from running in the intercollegiates. This was the first hard practice that Foster had had, as the coaches had been giving him only light work, on account of the known weakness in this leg. Foster won both the 100 and 220-yard dashes in the dual meet with Yale last year, and later in the intercollegiate games, consequently he was relied upon to win points...
...regulars were given a day off. G. G. Browne and McKay, who have both been on the sick list, reported in uniform. Neither was in the line-up during signal practice, but both took a long run, showing that they were in condition again. O'Flaherty, Hooper, whose leg bothered him a little, P. Withington, P. D. Smith, Minot, and Long were not on the field. None of these men, with the exception of Hooper, will be out of the line-up for more than today...
...very fair time in view of the fact that it was the crew's first time row over the course. Starting at 36, the crew averaged about 32 strokes for most of the row. At the finish the stroke went up as high as 40. Lack of a hard leg drive was the chief fault...
