IL to- practice patiently and this is all that be
expected. He swings IN time with the Others too,
and this il q point of immense Importance. Some
times otherwise skillfu finds it impossible to
get the swing, and no amount of coaching will give
il to him. This was most conspicuous in the HAT
ward boat last year--fve men swinging tOget or,
and the sixth Just shade ont Of time In spite of
every effort. In such the boat sbud'crs and

be any trouble of that kind with Mr.. Chandler
should judge. Mr. Fowler, at No. 4, though he has
superb physique, fine build and the benefit of all
tho crews training last year, is doubtful than
Mr. Chandler. Mr.. Fowler is the typical farmer boy,
aud with the cxccences Of that mnch discussed
class he displays some drawbacks, which last year
were shown 10 he commor among them. fle does not
concentrate his strength upon his oar. r" His
power seems to be burden to him. lie has learned
after great diligence to be a pretty good oarsman.
In fact, "a whole, this crew manage TO do the

but for rare lapscs on the part OF Mr.. Chandler
I might say perfect time. But Fowler seems to lack
a nervous energy, capacity to throw himself INTO

perhaps go TO No. 4, and Hail. who pulled No. i in
Fowlers place last year, will take No. 2. This UNI

the uninitiated observer, il may be sail that they

both being on that side. bnt that is difficulty
which will soon cure Itself. The strongest point
