Littaner improves very fast, and his form is one of the best. LeMoyne, '77, does not sit up well at the finish, reaches round with his outside shoulder, and does not keep his back straight. LeMoyne is the shortest and lightest candidate, but does his full share of the work: should he part with his faults, he will make an efficient oar. Crocker reaches around with his outside shoulder, but keeps his back...
