COACH JUDD.
Formerly Yale Man Trains
MyrtIes.
Has High Hopes For the Hearties
Now Hustliug for Fall
Honors.

james II. Judd, graduate OF Yale class
of ~. and who had the honor Of feath-
erlng blade Z, starboard side, in the
Freshman crew, is now coaching the
Myrtle tours at the Peninsula for the
races in September. Mr.. Judd. whose
home is in Honolulu, tried for the Var
sity eight which was sent to Henley,
England, but was thrown OFF, the last
man to receive that disappointing hon
or. He is an authority on racing mat
ters. his long service on the sliding
seat among the sons of ELI teaching
him many of the secrets of crew work
which has so often sent the Yale shells
to the fore.
| Since his return to Honolulu Mr.. Judd
has taken unusual interest In the COM
ling September races, and Intends to put
the Senior and Junior Myrtle crews
through a physical and dietary regimen
| In return for which he predicts victory
for the red and white pennant.
After having seen the practice work
of both crews, Mr.. Judd IL of the opin-
ion that very few of the oarsmen of
Honolulu fully understand the Ameri-
can stroke. Mr. Klebahn, he saye.
knows the German stroke, of which he
| Is a master. This year these two
strokes will come in conflict, and the
advantages of each will be determined
by the final trial of strength on the
| race course.
| on Tuesday evening, az coach, Mr..
Judd stayed with the crews while they
Engaged I'm their evening practice. The
crews are using az n penthouse the req
| idence of Clarence Macfarlane at the
Peninsula. The training table is ex-
cellent and well supplied with edibles
on liberal. modern ideas of diet. This

given coffee at breakfast. The water
| in which the rowing takes place Is not
bothered by wind, tide or waves, as is
encountered on the Charles river or
New Haven harbor The course at the
Peninsula 10 an excellent one for good
rowing, says Mr.. Judd.
The crews are becoming thoroughly
interested in their training. II saw
the two crews row." said the coach yes
terday. They are going at 1t with the
proper vim and determination. or
course they have many faults as any
crew will have. With three or four
weeks training before the racing, and
working on the same lines, they may
hope to improve greatly in form by the
Sth of September. Their plans seem to
be to row the Yale stroke. In the Sen
Tor boat the body and slide work 10
fairly good. The men work well to-
gether and control their slides. The
biade WORK IL very ragged, They were
held high out of the water on the catch
and were not turned straight through
the water at the same level. The crew
did not take their blades out clearly at
the finish. The result was the steady
mosion of the boat was interfered with
The boat when thus off its bottom was
retarded in it's progress.
''rhe Junior crew mt first seemed a
very beefy combination. The blade
work, as such, did not exist, but they
kept fairly good tune. which liz the first
principle of rowing The boat simply
went along by brute strength Water
manship is the main thing for both
crews to learn"
Generally speaking the coach Is very
much elated over the material under his
control, and feels that this years rae
ing will turn out SOME startling CUR
prises.
