They began sliding a week ago. As he has with the body-work, Mr. Keyes is taking great pains with the leg work, to be sure that every man begins his stroke in the proper manner.

After a two mile run and exercise on the chest weights, the men were put through a series of leg and body movements, and they were then ready for the tank. The men are divided into two crews, each crew using the tank for half an hour. The positions of the men as they rowed in the boat together with their weights are as follows: First boat-1. Haskell...
