...Columbia college 'varsity crew will get on the water this week. Only eleven men are still in training, and the final eight will be selected this week...
...salient faults in the rowing are as follows: Number 6 swings out of the boat and goes back too far; he fails to grip the water firmly enough at the catch. Number 5 has not recovered from his hang and is weak at the finish. Number four is rather stiff in his movements. Number 2 fails to get his oar in well. Bow is stiff.

Although not so light as shells they are not very much less frail and men using them ought to take great care in handling them...

The form of the crew was an improvement over their work on Tuesday, but the port side caught the water sooner than the starboard and the port men being more powerful the boat gave a vicious lurch to starboard every stroke. Yesterday the crew rowed up as far as the Brighton abattoir; Tilton rowing 6 and Watriss stroke. The disparity between the sides was diminished but the rowing was very...
