STANDING OF THE POLO CLUBS.
COOK EXPLAINS STYLE OF ROW
ING


After the practice yesterday, Mr.
Cook took both the Yale varsity and the
freshmen crews into the boat house and
explained TO them the results of Yalc's
experience at Henley. He outlined the
policy he will ask Yale to pursue this
year, and laid great emphasis on the ne
cessity of every man believing and follow
ing one style OF rowing, and one only.
He told the men that If they were not
satisfied with the style that Yale would
row this year, they must not attempt to
row in the varsity, but get mp crew
and row their own way and satisfy them
selves as to what was right
Mr.. Cook concluded his talk by reading
a letter from one of the greatest oarsmcn
England has ever produced, in which the
latter agreed with Mr.. Cook in every de-
tail as TO the changes that ought 10 be
made in Yale's rowing as cxcmplifcd at
Henley last July. Mr.. Cook then laid
great stress ON the necessity Of regular
hours and careful physical condition.
Mr.. Cooks presence has given the
oarsmen new confidence that they will bc
able to turn out an eight that will credit
ably represent the university. The train
ing table for the varsity men was started
yesterday. and the fehowing men were
selected Simpson. i.angfor,l, and Captain

Trick n.-East answers the gambit in
the usual way by leading trumps short. "
One can scarcely blame him, because he
has very coed hand, and cannot hope To
ruff anything. In fact, the trump attack
eecms 70 be his best plan.
Trick 4.--Noticc that North goes right
or with The diamonds, although he knows
the command il with the adversary. One
of the worst habits possible at tho short
suit game is that of running off 10 another
suit when you find the gambit suit prob
ably lies against you. Switching suits Is
always very dangerous. If you have made
an unfortunate orening, as North thinks
ne las done here, you should generally
brave the enemy 10 do his worst and have
ID all over with rather than fly into some
new venture quite as likely TO be costly ms
the first was. This is very important
thing to remember. i have seen timid
players lose many trick by getting scared
too soon. When the adversary wins your
gambit card and starts trumps, he virtu-
ally says, "You have put your foot in it,
and will kill you" Then IL is nearly
always just as we'll for you to say in reply,
"All right old fellow, 1 want 20 see you
do it," Such is North's motive in con
tinuing the diamonds here.
Trick 5.--Fast has apparently nothing
hettor TO do now than to try 10 clear the
diamonds.
Trick 6. G.--North Is persistent. He will
not touch the long, weak clubs, but tries
another gCmht. Flo has the courage OF
his convictions, that the club suit would
better bc let alone. On that assumption
and i'm that belief he opened the hand, and
nothing has occurred in the development
10 make hii,i change his mind.
Trick S..-Wcst has drawn the f.st
trump, and now he is no better off. The
SPADE Is his lcst lead. The queen of CLUBS
is tempting, but it would result in one less
trick.
Trick o.---South now plays for what is
evidently partners suit, retaining COM
mand of the other two.
Trick 10 -- East clings stubbornly to tn
diamonds There is one more trick foi
him II he returns the ; 10.
North and south win six tricks. II the
student will try the long SUIT opening oi
the G. fourth best) from North's hand,
he will find it very difficult TO win more
than four tricks for North and South.
The third class Of gambit hands consists
of those which contain trump strength,
