They have discarded the old Harvard swing and adopted a stroke closely resembling that used by professionals, which consists of a shorter body-swing, a longer slide and a quick recover. The advantage claimed for this stroke is that, with it, more power can be exerted, as legs, back, and arms are used simultaneously. Although Yale abandoned a similar stroke after last year's defeat, the seniors feel confident that for a two-mile race it can be made a success. It must be admitted that they propel their boat through the water at a rate, which would...
Varick vs. Bradley. First round: Varick opened the round with quick hitting, but was easily kept off by the able defence and long reach of Bradley who planted hard neck and blows right and left on Varick's face.

For this reason the class crews are often able to keep up with the University for a short distance, as they are especially trained for short, quick spurts. It will therefore be readily apparent, that a crew can be selected from the class eights which will on the one and seven-eights course of the Charles, be even better prepared to win laurels for Harvard than the regular University crew...
