ROWING CHANGES BEING TRIED.
Since the crews return from Eng
land innovations in rowing have Been
expected Several new ideas have been
introduced this fall, and successfully
tested by Captain Bailey on the har-
Dor in the barge, which has been alter
ed over to suit the new requirements.
The seats have been arranged on the
side instead of directly over the keel,
as formerly BY doing this the men
will be able to get d little more lever
age, and the boat will be kept steadier
with less tendency to go down on one
side or the other.
Another decided change Is In the use
of the English style of oars which are
longer than the American and trifie
narrower in the blade Beside being
narrower they have rib in the center
50 as to stiffen the blade and conse-
quently get firmer hold on the water
Other less important changes have been
introduced by making the slides level
instead of having them slightly inclin-
ed, as formerly, and in cutting their
length down two or three inches No
change has been made in the stroke
except in getting more body swing and
a harder catch, which is not really
changing the stroke, but returning to
the original style introduced by Mr.
Cook.
