...legs spindly things at best, on which the Bird is not accustomed to stand. As for the Ink-Pot, he is very much afraid of an overflow of slush, which would cause him to become full; and that generally renders him rather helpless. While he is perfectly competent to slide across the smooth surface of good ice, an Ink-Pot is not adapted to navigation through fields of muck and is always handicapped when it gets into the devious paths the Bird frequents...

The foreshortening of an obligation of four months to a comparatively few hours is only too likely to foster carelessness and a procrastinating habit of mind that will have little opportunity in later life to concentrate on anything, except a method of letting things slide by with the least possible annoyance.

R. Johnson is now working the latter's old slide, while B. F. Rice-Bassett has been advanced to number 2 in the first shell. This shake-up adds materially to the crew's poundage, raising the average slightly over 170 to the man, while the remarkable record made by the 1925 eight last Saturday bears out Dr. Howe's judgment...
