About this book
Rowing is by R. C. Lehmann. The text says that the practical experience of rowing men suggested that if they slid on their seats, both the length and power of their stroke through the water would be increased. The text says that in 1871 a crew of professionals used a seat that slid on the thwarts and beat a crew that was generally held to be superior.
The text says that in 1873 the University crews rowed on sliding seats for the first time. The text says every coxswain should learn to scull, which lets him get his weight down by exercise, if required, and become familiar with the set of the stream, flats, and other peculiarities of a course. A numbered list includes the points that the crews be in practice not less than twelve days and that each member of the two crews pay ten shillings entrance money.
