YALE'S CREW WILL
MAKE NO CHANGE
Captain Snowden Says Ellis Will
Not Employ Coach From
Over Seas.

New Haven, Conn, February .
Captain Charles Snowden. OF the Yale
crew, said tonight. in discussing his
trip 10 England with Coaches Harri-
man and Rodgers. that no coach from
England would be engaged this season.
that the stroke the Yale crew rows
will not be changed from the style
taught last year, built upon the Eng
lish system. and that he regards Yale
chances of success this year exceed
ingly good. This evening he addressed
the entire varsity rowing squad of
about 100 candidates in the gymna-
SUM. He said:
According to our original intention.
no coach has been brought over from
England for the Yale crew. Our pur-
pose in visiting the foreign UNIVERSE
ties was merely TO verify our opinion
that the stroke we had been using was
the same as that in vogue abroad, and
our beliefs were justified All seasC-
the Yale men have been instructed in
the stroke which is to continue
throughout the remainder of the
coaching period this year. The sys-
TEN will not be changed.
During the ten days that we spent
with the oxford and Cambridge crews.
we carefully STUDIED the metnOOS IN
practice in those institutions AL
though no special exhibitions were ar
ranged for US. We had ample Oppor-
tunity 10 acquaint ourselves with the
ali-important fact that we were on the
right track with the Yale eight At
oxford especially we were vers ID
servant of every detail realizing That
its shell had forged ahead of Cam
bridge for four consecutive years in
the dual race with their rivals. Three
Of the oxford men also were on the
Leander crew which won the Olympic
race last year at Stockholm
The stroke In question is not a new
one with us For several years before
900 the system had been used to turn
out championship Fights for Yale.
Shortly after that John Kennedy
changed il TO one which for us has
proven greatly inferior. So the institu-
tion OF the English stroke is really not
reverting to the Old successful policy
However. the stroke is not in use in
any other American college"

KOLEHMA|NEN IS
TRAINING HARD
In Best Shape for Races at Irish
American Athletic Clubs
Meet Tonight.

New York, February 6.-Hannes
Kolehmainen, the Flying Finn who
toppled over the American indoor six,
seven. eight. nine and ten mile records
In Buffalo last Saturday night, and who
will attempt to smash the American
five mile record OF 24.59 2-5 at tire big
games of the Irish American Athletic
Club in the Madison Square Garden to-
morrow evening, had "A three mile
workout in the Thirteenth Regiment
Armory yesterday afternoon.
Under the eye of Trainer Lawson
Robertson and Bill Kolehmainen,
Hannes turned the three miles in the
great time OF 1874 As.
That only was fve and two-fifths
seconds behind the indoor record, and
was a wonderful bit of running, con-
sidering that the Finn did IL without
having a chance TO work up to speed
following his gruelling ten-mile run.
Hannes will finish his training for
the five-mile race by running fast
mile to-day in conjunction with two
or three short speed bursts OF not
more than a furlong. Most runners
usually rest on the day before an i'm
portant race. but kolehmainen trains
differently.
In speaking of his brothers perform
ance in Buffalo, Bill KOlehmainen last
night said:
'Hannes did not cut loose at any
stage of the race He went out at a
fast, steady clip, and held to the same
gait practically all the way. The race
has done him a lot Of good and has
given him just the edge he needs for
Thursdays big race In the Garden.
"Hannes has lots OF natural speed
and. consequently, does not need 20
work for speed. as do most runners
Hannes can come down from ten 10
five miles and show the necessary
speed. for he is natural runner. II
he gets the right sort of competition
on Thursday night he not only Will
smash Bonhag's American Indoor mark
of 24,5s 2-5. but while on the way 10
the ve-miIe post he will knock down
Bonhag's four-mile record Of 1888 4-5.
