not resigned his position. as report
ed. but will return and complete the
third year OF his contract. This
positive statement was made by
Howard Eisenbrey. chairman OF the
rowing committee.
The statement that Mr.. Nickalls
resigned 10 totally wrong" said Mr..
Eisenbrey. Naturally. he was
much disappointed at the poor show
Ing OF his crews In the Poughkeep-
sic regatta He was more or less
worried over the outcome and the
day following told the committee
that they need feel no hesitancy In
telling him II they thought any one
else could all the position better.
There has been the best OF co-opera-
ton between Mr.. Nickalls and the
committee and no one would listen
to such . suggestion.
MIR. Nickalls has no desire TO
terminate his contract. and every
one connected with rowing at Penn
sylvania. including the members OF
the rowing squad, are unanimously
In favor OF him.
NO one blames Nickalls for the
failure OF the Pennsylvania crew.
We have seen enough Of hts work In

coaches in the country. No one
