YALE 0ARSMEN
STILL BELIEVE
In NEW STROKE
Despite Penn Victory the
Blue Will Retain
Oxford Style.
fnz TeIerrnnh 70 Tho T-hnnc.I

New Haven, April 3d. After weeks
rest, following the Pennsylvania races,
the Yale crews will resume training to
morrow in preparation for the AmerI-
can Henley. on May l3, and the trian-
gular race against Princeton and Cor
nell on May 27.
Coach Nickalls has big task ahead
Of him in turning out an eight which
can compete successfully against
Princeton and Cornell. The task seems
tho harder, since Yale has suffered
defeat and Princeton has defeated Har-
wards crew.
Despite tho setback by Pennsylvania.
Yale's rowing policy will not be changed
I'm the slightest degree. Nickalls be-
lieves that he IS on the right track
and that the pure oxford stroke, al
though possibly n disadvantage In
short squirt, is the stroke which will
win the Harvard race. which forms the
climax Of the Blue rowing season.
In speaking of the Pennsylvania race
to-day Nickalls said:
ave were outclassed for pace in
sprint Of seven and one-half minutes.
Wait until the race Is almost three
times that time and distance. Iaen
there will be a different tale 10 tell"
Although the Yale crew has been
drilled all along IN preparation for a
four-mile race against Harvard, there
Is no denying that the showing of the
first varsity against Penn was dis
appointment. Nickalls and Captain
Seth Low will take steps Immediately
TO remedy some Of the weaknesses.
No radical shift in the makeup Of
the two boats IS expected, however.
The changes will be made gradually.
Stroke is n weak place IN the first
eight. and has been all season. Ro-
land Hartman, who weighs l64 pounds
and has shown up well in practice,
rowed that position in the Pennsylva-
MIA race. His work there was not en-
tircly satisfactory, and there is a
strong possibility that he may be
shifted TO bow, displacing Hume. The
latter has sufficient weight, but lacks
reach and staying power.
If this shift is made Hyatt, who
stroked a wonderful oar in the second
varsity shell, will be brought up and
put at stroke in the first boat. Hyatt
is sophomore and has had no var
sity experience, except IN the Penn
race, but he is expected 20 make good
at the new post If the switch Is made.
The triangular race between Yale,
Cornell and Princeton at Ithaca on
May 27 will be over a two-mile course,
a slightly longer distance than that
over which Pennsylvania defeated the
Ellis. This is expected TO be a factor
in favor Of the Blue, for IL will make
their longer stroke appear TO better ad-
vantage.
The first varsity will try the new
course on the Housatonic River, near
Derby. Conn, tomorrow for the first
time. Upon this and subsequent tests
will depend whether or not the head
quarters of the Yale navy are 20 be
moved from New Haven 20 Derby.

Agutter is familiar 10 West Side club
