...little body swing, and starts his slide too slowly. 4 feathers too flatly, and doesn't pull his stroke through to the body. 5 needs to wake up, and yeaks his hands in at finish. 6 is awkward, feathers poorly, is unsteady on recover, and doesn't swing out quick enough. 7 doesn't follow stroke quick enough, and doesn't pull his oar through. Stroke drops down at full reach and hangs. As a whole the crew is too slow at the catch shows too little life, and the boat is unsteady at full reach and goes down...

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 crew. The Yale crew had a longer "hang...
