NICKALLS 1S CoacH W -~ OF VARSITY EIGHT: t Manager Hobson of Yale Crew - States He Has Not Resigned. | May Guy New Hjven, Conn., Nickalls is still coach Yale varsity eight, sald Manager Henry W, Hobson of the crew to P com- mienting on a report that NicRalls had | 'T Yesigned or offered to resign because of criticism of his methods of teaching rowing at Yale and because of friction #nong the coaches. He declared that the. reports were much exaggerated, and that there weremna serious differ- | ences. “Mr. Nickalls is still coach of the varsity and Mr. Gianinni s in | ! charge of the freshmen, said t Hobson, “The whole thing has straightened out and everything going along smoothly.” Mr. Hobson admitted however, that Captain Denegre attended u confer- | ence at New York the fore part of the ‘) week at which the whole rowing situa- tion at the university was discussed | with graduates intercsted in rowing. It had also been reported that Nickalls, Glaninni, Richard Armstrong and Walter Camp wWere present -but Mr, Hobson would not say as to that. While denying that Nickalls had re- signed or offered to quit, Mr. Hobson admitted: "1 suppose he would hav résigned had he been asked.” Was Heartily Affected, ¢ Richard Armstrong, graduate ad- visorion crew matters, was not in town today. ‘In his absence no state- pent was available from the viewpoint of the graduate management of the crew. However, an authority on athlétic management in the university who is close to rowing matters stated that the:incident was entirely due to Mr. Nickalls mistaking outside com- ment, as indicative of Yale sentiment vpon crew matters. At the gathering in New York night before last, Mr. Nigckalls explained his position. He stated that he had taken very much to heart eriticism he had heard, and ho_ felt that it must have represented the views of Yale men. So badly did he_feel, it is stated, that he did not care to continue longer as coach. Recelves Graduates’ Assurances .
