DRILLING YALE OARSMEN
Hartman Employs Methods
Which He Learned at Oxford.
AWAITS ENGLISH COACHES
Gold and Kirby Due in May to
Handle Final Training of
New Haven Crews.

Now that William Averill Hartman. the
undergraduate head coach Of the Yale
crews is able TO place his men on the hdr-
Dor every day. preparations are being
rushed to have all things in readiness for
the arrival Of the two English coaches,
Gold and Kirby. next month.
Four shells have been rugged with the
regulation English set-off seats and thole-
pin locks. and the oarsmen are going
through what resembles as closely as
Hartman can make it the preliminary
training of an oxford crew. Hartman
has spent two seasons in observing the
oxford method of preparing a crew and
has been a faithful student of both Gold
and Kirby, who handle the oxford Fights
at different stages of their training.
J-ntH the two English coaches arrive IT
is doubtful if Hartman will attempt 10
select even tentative first eight, al
though the fact that the second crew has
been entered in the American Henley
makes il imperative that he choose only
those men for the junior varsity whose
chances for the varsity are slim. In cf-
feet this will mean the weakening Of the
second crew, but Hartman believes that
the English coaches should not be ham
pered In any way when they once arrive
on the scene.
Under Hartman and Jim Rodgers, who
relinquished his duties as head coach last
June after the Harvard race, the Iale
oarsmen to the number of three Fights are
getting some mighty thorough drilling IN
the fundamentals of rowing. with great
stress on the English idea. The stroke is
being kept low and the men are rowing
with very little slide. The offset seats
and the thole pins make the crews look a
great deal like typical English Fights
Gold and Kirby will put the polishing
touches on the boats. but before they ar
rive the stroke will be gradually keyed
up, so that they will not have TO do TOO
much In the line of preparing the men for
the rigid training that will precede the
departure for New London and the three
grueling weeks on the Thames.
Six freshman crews have been retained
and are being coached by John Appleton.

G. Acheson, of the 10 freshman boat. The
Yale youngsters are coming along SLOWLY,
but their development seems TO be none
the less sure, and they will be fit when
the gun is fired at New London. The
proposed race between the Yale freshmen
and the Princeton frst-year crew has
fallen through. so that the Harvard race
will be the only one in which the ELI
youngsters will have Il chance to show
their proves.
