Norwich bulletin., 1921-06-22

men happen to be Bones men and evil dently put their senior society interests before those of their university, and I may add that they did this contrary to Dean Jones and Secretary Stokes ad- vices, as the former authorized me to tell any junior concerned that he would make the society he was intended to country he was.
 No. 4-From the rowing committee. MT Payne Whitney excepted. I have nothing but destructive criticism. Wit ness MT. Goeuchius' letter q expect still on the files) in which he said he "ha d never been moro humiliated in his life' by the sight of a gallant Yale crew giving an exhibition of grit and pluck, the like of which has seldom been seen, in a vain endeavor to lick crew twice their physical superior.
 No. 5-Captain Steve Hord,. an mus uaIIy silent man, has never confded in me once during the last three months, nor has he given me that help and. eo- operation which is so necessary between coach and captain. He appears to have given his confidence to Peters and every one except myself.
 No 6-The choice of Churchill Peters to coach the class crew was fatal to the harmony of the squad and after his exhibition of brainless rowing at | New London last year I should have thought this committee could have found some better mentor for the young | No. 7-Steve Hord should have kept i his word and sacked - of the squad
 this year for drunkenness instead of sl- l lowing him to row on his class crew
 and become an example of how boy
 can get drunk and yet be allowed tc 1 make good.
 | No S-When the committee Hord and
 myself came to an agreement on May 25 as to how the future coaching of tht
 varsity squad was to be arranged, il
 should have been stuck to and not broken on June at the caprice of the captain with no new reason assigned. This i:
 the second understanding and asreemen smashed by the rowing committee in six months. If men who are supposed | Iy gentlemen act thus, should they no rightly be called dishonorable? I coulf 1 give more details, but think that tht
 above are sufficient examples and enougl
 to discredit the work of the rowing committee.
 l It seems incredible to me that you car
 allow the present system of control t' 1 continue a day longer. It: should not b. possible for boy of 22, because of som
 personal dislike or pique to dismiss a
 a moments notice a coach engaged ant paid for the board of control and undo,
 contract to see season through. Yot ] should remember that kid like Hord i' | easily influenced; in fact, he told m
 that the press would not have writer
 all those defamatory articles about m' unless they had some foundation 0 1 truth. How does your board think i
 possible for any coach to instill Yal
 spirit into boys so long asf they. refus to condemn open drunkenness anon! l their classmates?
 I do not want your board to thinl
 for a moment that I am carrying bacl
 to England unpleasant or unhappy
 memories of the large majority of Yal
 men. Yale graduates or New Haven cit | izens. By them all I have been treate;
 splendidly. Their kindness and hospi l tality have been unbounded their for hearance and generosity remarkable, ant
 I love to think that in future year when the bitterness of rotten. dea has been softened Ca deal for whicl they are not responsible directly) I shal enjoy meeting them face to face. Tn | shabbness of my treatment is due to tn | system that permits an elderly and en tirely incompetent rowing committee t
 control Tale's fortunes on water, ant ] also to the existence of an unworkabl system being allowed to continue for moment by the board of control, whicl allows an irresponsible boy of g year of age to break it's contracts, fout 1t advice and play ducks and drakes witt the good name of Yale just because h takes a personal dislike to the man ii control. See to 1t that you clean u' this Augean stable, and If you do.
