YALE WITH NEW
COACH EXPECTS
WINNING CREW
NEW HAVEN, March 20.—The
Vale crews that htke the water this
spring under the direction of Coach
Ed Leader 'will ibe more like the fa
tnous Bob Cook crews of a quarter ot
a century '■ago than any at Yale since
the Cqpk stroke was abandoned in
1908. T
This is tihe belief of the men who
have been following rowing at Yale
for more than 30 years, who have
seen Cook cretws row to many a bril
liant victory, -who have watched
coaches at Yaje come and go with
«n infinite variety of strokes and
theories, who have 'seen Yale vainly
trying to "settle down" with a deri
nite rowing policy, and who now be
■lierve that they have in Coach Leader
a man who more closely approaches
the methods of Cook than any one
■who lias taught* at Yale in recent
years'.
Whether a return to the Cook
Stroke means a return to the era ot
Yatle supremacy on the water is a
question that Is arousing keen inter
est and many hopes in the Blue
boathouse this year.
Just what significance a return to
the imethodts of Cook can have at
Yale would 'be hard to realize were
it nkjit for an understanding of what
Ihis name represents In the rowing
history of the Blue.
To all Yale men Both Cook la a
tradition. His age was the "Bolden
Age" of rawing at Yale, when the
Blue crows took the water year after
year with a confldenco that was un
beatable. That a'ge (has long since*
passed, 'but the 'Bulldog over looks
forward iwit'h grim hope to a re
naissance. Whether this year will
bring even the (beginning of stability
to Yale rowing is isomethlng that is
being eagerly watched.
New Yale Stroke
The stroke th.it is being taught at
Yale today is essentially the same
stroke that Cook brought. back from
'England after his bow historic trip
there ;in 1873. It may differ in some
flight details, as in the finish, but
fundamentally it has the same char
act eristics. It is I'.ihe same adapta
tion of the English stroke -that Cook
developed, and which was later
dropped when Yalo’s succession of
English coaches introduced the gen
uine English stroke that in some way
never quite seemed to fit American
oarsmen.
'One of the fvrslt steps that Leader
has taken at Yale its to restore the
old indoor rowing tank that for sev
eral years had been floored over
for the use of the wrestling team.
Then he sat the oarsmen in a
straight line over the keel as Cook
had done, instead of seating them
In the gig-aag English fashion. He
requested swivel oarlock's instead of
the English iiholcrpin model, though
the thole-tain Is highly rated by the
English I because Its click at the end
of each stroke is a mcch.iinic.il aid to
precision.
He has brought his own boat build
er with him. discarding the type of
shell imported by the English
coaches. His model seats the oars
men higher above the water. All
these foaturos of his mechanical
equipment wero characteristic of
Cook's era.
But the parallel does not end here.
In his demands on the oarsmen
themselves, Lo.ider lias followed
Cook- He urges the necessity of a
greater perfection of 'inboard work,
and precision of the bodies through
out the stroke, a distinct difference
from tho 'English coaches who paid
more attention to whitennanshlp.

2 AMERICAN OARSMEN
MAY BE WITH OXFORD
OXFORD, March 20.—With the Ox
ford University 'boat crow practically
'))iiike:l, it looks certain that there
will te two Americans a two of? the
Dark Bines. W. P. Mol Ion, from Mid
dlesex School. Connecticut, now at
Brasenose College, Oxford, Is strok
ing the first boat, and R. K. Kane,
who rowed on tho Harvard crew for
two years and was eaiptaiin of the
Harvard football team, now at Balllol,
is Coning number four. Kino, who
lips the beam at 1881/., is the heav
icsit 'man in the boat except one, J.
G. Mower Whit?, of Rugby and
M'adgalen, a't number five, outweigh
ing him by three pounds.
Melton was trainod at Middlesex
under Reginald Hciber Howe, now di
rector of rowing at Harvard. The
Ox'fonl cbalc'h.es a gree it ha t the Har
vard style Is tho closest a.pproxima
Won to the Oxiford way of handling
an oar. Consequently neitnor of the
Americans in tho boat has had to
readjust his style to a completely
now system. W. T. Llndesay, Oro
ton and Brasenose. who rows at
number five in the second boat, has
had to make more changes, since
Groton patterns after Yale, and the
Yale style is different from Oxford's.
Mellon says there are four old
Blues In the boat- P. C. Mallam.
Lancing and Queens, Is at bow; A
C. Irvine, Shrdwsbury and Merton,
at number three; J. E. Podder,
Shrew 'bury and Worcester, at num
'her slix; and C. O. Nick alls, Eton1
and Al idgalen, at number seven. The I
only .place which swms in doubt Is
number two. Waco, of Urn iomo.se,
who lias been holding this down, was
replaced recently by R. Thorneycrolt.
Eton and iBalliol. Except for this
one place, Mellon believes the. crew
will go to Henley just about as H
now bWands.

Find Skeleton and ■
Murder Is Suspected
TUCBON. Ariz., March 20.—Tho
intersection at Main Street anil
Fifth Avenue recently nave up a be
lated clue to a probable murder oc
curring a number of years a so,
when Mexican laborers unearthed a
human skeleton while work ins on a
gas main of the local light and
power company.
Placed in its resting iplace, the
skull to tile east, the skeleton is;
mute testimony to what appears to;
have been a murder or an enforced,
quick interment, for It ivas found]
onfy two feet below the level of the]
street. Even tho primitive Indian *
tribes burled their dead with the 1
head to the north, it is said, andj
this would indicate that the body]
was given burial without ceremony,!
