Matthew Mann Wanted to
Serve as Instructor at
Army Camps

The swimmers Of Yale University
have been making determined efforts to
secure the services OF Matthew Mann,
former coach at the New York Athletic
Club, now in Duluth. who developed
champion team at New Haven last year,
and il was reported a few days ago that
he had finally been engaged TO handle
the varsity squad from January TO
April

the arrangements made. If this proves
the case, the Yale watermen will be

coaches in the country as competent
as Mann, and even less able ones are
hard TO get these days
