...detailed criticism of the Yale crew in Tuesday's Yale News closes with the following general comment on the candidates: "As a crew no two men row like, they show entire lack of the distinctive features of the stroke, a general tendency to swing away from oar on catch and toward oar on recovery, necessity for a brace up all around and stricter attention to business...
...university crew has got four new candidates; Powers, '92, who rowed on the freshman crew last year, Fitzhugh, and Blanchard '91, and Keyes '89, none of whom have rowed before. The crew rowed yesterday in the following order: Goddard stroke, Perkins 7, Powers 6, Upton 5, Jones 4, Nelson 3, Hartridge 2, Herrick 1. Mr. Keyes has been coaching regularly.

...juniors are pegging away to the extent of five or six hundred strokes a day and running up to Porter's Station and back. They also go through some calisthenics every day. Exactly what they are trying to do on the rowing weights it is hard to say-a lively jerk at the beginning of the stroke seems essential. Of course it is absolutely necessary to keep the back straight and keep up a strong feeling of expectancy. Tallant and Hale are promising new men for the crew but they have much to learn in the way of rowing. Fitzhugh...
