Will Not Coach the Grew Next Yenr-Dr.
Percy Bolton His Successor.


Robert ]. Cook win not coNch the Yale varsity
crew next year. The candidates for tho boat
will probably be conditioned and instructed by
DIR. Percy Bolton. Cook has been In Europe for
several months. and his friends say that he will
not return 30 America before next fall. Ho has
had his dues at the New York A. @. suspended
for one year, which Is additional proof that he
will not be here next summer. There are SOW
eral stories In circulation among college men
regarding the reasons why Cook has left Yale.
One is to the effect that no Ind received an on.
%portunity to engage In a private business ven-
ture abroad. and another is that, owing 70 fric.
ton with certain graduates. he decided to get
out Of boating affairs at New Haven.
It Is common gossip that trouble has existed
between Cook and the friends OF DIR. Bolton
ever since the Yale crow was beaten at Henley.
Cook experienced some difficulty with certain
members OF that eight who wero supported by
n well-known faction at Yale. The two defeats
by the Blue crew ut tho hands OF Cornell RATHER
intensified tho feeling between the Cook and
Bolton followers until the former coach con-
cluded TO abdicate. Cooks intimate friends
have said on several occasions that he was
n tribe bitter toward Bolton. and that the
latter would some day get a chance to run the
iected to his methods while training the men.
