...Davis has been paying special attention to their leg drive and the crew now use their legs perhaps better than any other of the class crews. A fault which they have not yet overcome is jerking in their arms at the finish. Besides these more prominent faults the crew as a whole do not catch the water quickly enough, and are a bit rough rough sometimes in their handling of the oars. Nevertheless, in spite of these faults, '98 should make a good race for first place. They keep their boat traveling very steadily on her keel, so that...
...changes in the boat set the crew back considerably. The crew is the lightest of the four, but seven men have rowed in races before and six sat in last year's Freshmen boat. The men reach out well on the catch and have a strong body swing. Their leg work, however, is not good and they are heavy and slow at the beginning of the recover. The order of the crew in the boat, their ages, weights and heights are as follows...

The crew as a whole is apt to hurry and fails to use the leg drive soon enough. The watermanship is very good and has improved much of late.

Rows in with his arms...
Ninety-eight is rowing very well, though they show a slight tendency to shorten. Their leg drive is fair, but they do not get a very good body swing. Their order is: Stroke, H. Adams; 7, Moulton; 6, Ames; 5, Wadsworth; 4, Marvin; 3, Fuller; 2, Kinnicutt; bow, T. Adams...
