...some experience in rowing at Groton, but is still a little awkward, and lacks a strong finish. Burgess at 3 rowed last year on the Halcyon crew at St. Paul's; he is one of the best oars in the crew, being strong and especially smooth in his work. Clark, Stone and Whitridge at 3, 2 and bow have all a tendency to clip and to be slow in their catch; they also lack power in their leg drive. Clark and Stone are new men; Whitridge rowed at Groton. As a whole the boat is well together but lacks power...
...University Museum to discover a better sort of tablet than is now used upon which the glass models of flowers may rest with safety. The results have been satisfactory. The new tablets are made of a white material which will not warp under any conditions. The surface is absolutely smooth and may be made to take any color: white, however, will probably be used entirely. The chief value of this invention lies in the fact that where flowers were formerly subject to serious damage by the warping of the cardboard upon which they were placed, now glass models may rest...
...enough work to shake well together. The second crews have been less fortunate. The Weld eight has sustained two losses within a day or two; Morrill at stroke was obliged to stop rowing on account of an attack of neuralgia and gave place to Locke, who, although a smooth oar, has less life and dash. Ivins at 5 was laid off on Saturday by a sprain, and his place was taken by Colby, who will row in the race. In the Newell crew, Gilchrist at 4, was yesterday obliged to stop work on account of a sprained wrist; Bullard moved...
...School eight has not shaken well together, so that the time and catch are weak. The outboard work is fairly smooth, though not yet uniform. In spite of these faults the crew has shown some speed, and Blake at stroke has succeeded in getting a good beat in rowing. The order follows: Stroke, Blake (capt.); 7, Sheafe; 6, Swift; 5, Burden; 4, Marvin; 3, Warner; 2, Byrd; bow, Parker; cox., Watson...
...second day of the Newell crews on the river was marked by a considerable increase in the number of candidates. One more eight, a four, and several pairoars were out, and in most of the boats substitutes were tried. The water was perfectly smooth and consequently the crews worked more evenly than on the first day. Mr. E. C. Sorrow spent the afternoon on the float watching the work but he did no coaching. vail was out in a single and coached each crew in turn...
