YALE WITH NEW COACH EXPECTS
 WINNING CREW

 Yale crews that take the water this spring under the direction of Coach Ed Leader will be mere like the ia mous Bob Cock crews of quarter of century ago than any at Yale since the Cook stroke was abandoned in 1908.
 This is the belief of the men who have been following rowing at Yale for more than 30 years. who have seen Cook crews row to many bril- liant victory. who have watched coaches at Yale come and go with an infinite variety of strokes and theories, who have seen Yale vainly trying to settle down with defi- mite rowing policy. and who now be- lieve that they have in Coach Leader a man who more closely approaches the methods of Cook than any one who has taught at Yale in recent years.
 Whether a return to the Cook stroke means return to the era of Yale supremacy on the water is a question that is arousing keen inter est and many hopes in the Blue boathouse this year.
 Just what significance a return to the methods of Cook can have at Yale would be hard to realize were 1t not for an understanding of what his name represents in the rowing history of the Blue
 To all Yale men Bob Cook Is a tradition. His age. was the Golden Age of rowing at Yale. when the Blue crews took the water year after year with a confidence that was un- beatable. That age has long since passed, but the Bulldog ever looks forward with grim hope to re- riaissance. Whether this year will bring even the beginning of stability to, Yale rowing is something that Is being eagerly watched.
 New Vale Stroke
 The stroke that is being taught at Yale today is essentially the same stroke that Cook brought back from England after his new historic trip there in 1873. It may differ in some glig'ht details, as in the finish, but Fundamentally it has the same char acteristics. It is Jhe same adapta- ton of the English stroke that Cook developed, and which was later dropped when Yale's succession of English coaches introduced the gen tline English stroke that in some way never quite seemed to fit American oarsmen.
 One of the frs. steps that Leader has taken at Yale ifs to restore the old indoor rowing tank that for sev- eral years had been floored over for the use of the wrestling team. Then he sat the oarsmen in a straight line over the keel as Cook had done. instead of seating them in the zig-8ag English fashion. He requested swivel oarlocks instead of the English tholc,pin model, though the thole4pin is highly rated by the English because its click at the end of each stroke is mechanical aid to precision.
 He has brought his own boat build CT with him. discarding the type of shell imported by the English coaches His model seats the oars mon higher above the water. All these features of his mechanical equipment were characteristic of Cooks era.
 But the parallel does not end here. In his demands on the oarsmen themselves. Loader has followed Cook. He urges the necessity of a greater perfection of inboard work, and precision of the bodies through out the stroke. a distinct difference from tho English coaches who paid more attention to watermanship
