Yale. too is doing some hard think
ing over it's rowing situation. When
Langhorne Gibson, the Eli captain,
was asked the other day what the
Yale plans were for next year he de-
clared that the matter was UP to the
new captain--B. B. Pelly was elected
on Friday pight-and the rowing COM
mittee. He indicated that change
might be looked for. Whether the vic
tory Of the Ellis has made them feel
that the need for a change has been
obviated remains to be seen. We do
not expect to see George Corderry
back as head coach.
There is a lot of talk about Dick
Glendon, now coach of the Navy, or
Jim Rice Of Columbia going to Yale.
Rice's name has been mentioned often
enough in connection with the posi-
ton in New Haven, and perhaps he
would like to go there. A change of
scene-if it means better and more
material to work with-might be rel
ished BY Jim, who is as fine coach as
there is anywhere.
Yale Men See Glendon. n
Glendon, who apparently is deter
mined to leave Annapolis, is new
entry in the Yale situation. He Is a
coach of long experience and in recent
years has obtained notable results with
the Navy eights. We hear that Yale
men connected with rowing affairs
there have had q talk with Glendon,
but that it was not serious discus
sion.
There seem to be more rowing posi-
tons than coaches-and good men are
scarcer than ever. The old school is
passing and few young coaches have
come up in recent years. The next year
or two, however, should see the rise or
a new set, not in complete charge. but
as assistants to the present mentors.
John Hoyle at Cornell is going to de-
velop such a man. and so Is Joe Wright
at Penn. Joe would like to go back to
Canada, and we doubt II he will coach
at Penn more than two or three years
more. Dapper Joe does not look 1t, but
he is IS.
To go back to that Harvard-Y Yale var
sity race of Friday evening. it was not
what might be called triumph Of tech
nique. Yale, without any question. was
the better crew from every angle but
it's form was nothing to brag about.
Still, it showed far and away better
than had been looked for from a crew
which had been forced to take on
new stroke only month before and
had been scrambled so much that it
could hardly be recognized as the Yale
eight.
Harvard Looked short.
Yale had moro power. Yale had more
snap, Yale dug deeper and got more out
of its effort. 1t was a crew which. hap
ply for Yale, had profited greatly by
the hard regimen which George Cor
derry had put into effect when he took
charge. The Yale crew of the Penn.
Columbia and Cornell-Prfficeton races
was a. Yale crew which lacked work
and showed It to a marked degree
Corderry evidently decided to work his
men as hard as they could work and
take a big chance. His gamble won.
Harvard, which had been worked
lightly for nearly two weeks through DR..
Howe's fear that his men were in danger
Of going stale, showed that 1t was short.
There was no vim in its stroke. 1t did
not dig deep enough and showed catch.
Rarely were the Crimson men together.
Their shell did not behave very well
either. 1t seemed to bow down and ap-
parently was hampering the eight.
Corderry's plan for the race proved
splendid one He instructed the Ellis to
20 out to the front at the start and to
try to keep their lead. II successful for
A. mile, he told them. they were to spurt
madly right after passing the mark.
This squirt came, and it took Harvard by
surprise. In ten strokes the Blues lead
was increased from a quarter to fuil
length. Harvard was beaten then ana
there. 1t never recovered from that
blow, and 1t found that the Yale crew
could meet challenge with counter chal-
lenge and then let loose another squirt.
A lot of credit for the Yale victory
must 60 to John Gcetchius of the rowing
committee. 1t was he, we hear. who in
sjsted that the crew be ripped from stem
to stern. that the stroke be changed and
that the Corderry brothers change posi-
tions. He felt that there still was hone
and his Judgment was justified
