ROWING
SUCCESS OF ZURICH CREW ENGLISH COACH’S VIEWS United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright (Received July 8, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, July 7. Mr Steve Fairbairn, in a letter to “The Times” says: "Four years ago the coach of the Zurich crew sent me a letter saying that he had been coaching under my method. The crew ras getting more enjoyment from rowing, besides being more successful. I frequently told people that the Zurich crew were the only one to stick entirely to my method, concentrating on working the oar and allowing the body, to work unconsciously.' The trouble is that a coach generally wants to" bring in something more, and so kills the harmony of the unconscious body movement—the only way to get harmony."
