Tho wisoonain. athletic authorities are
looking out for next season with the Idea
NJ hiring ooaobe6 Tor several branches Of
athletic activity. ,Emfnstt d. Angel, the
graduate director at the institution, who
suooeeded George =. Dowper In CONTROL Of
athletics, Ia now In tho East looking out for
uitable men. The problem ID to find one
nan who knows enough about football and
baseball to stay all through the year The
new rules at. the Univereity Of Wisconsin
REQUIRE that any man who 10 TO take up
athletic coaching must become q member
Of the faculty, and IA such be In residence
for a complete academic year. Such q
man might also In the winter have to take
a turn with basketball. although Mr.. Angel
has had Charge Of basketball and track
athletics Since tho upheayal.
Much more dificult than that II the
hiring Of o man who will take tho place Of
Andrew O'Dea. Track team and football
coaches are not 80 rare as they, might be,
but the men who can teach rowing arc worry
few and faS between. O'Dea hae definitely
and positively decided to retire from crew
work and will take up eheep ranohing.
That leaves the way open to getting an
other man, but who that IL going to be they
have almost no idea out West. II has been
suggested that perhaps Edward Hanlan
might be, coaxed from his retirement up
in Toronto To take charge Of the Badgers.
The name of Edward Hanlan Ten Eyck
also has been brought forward. These are
nero oonjecturee.
There is a good chance that Ellis Ward,
the present coach OF the Universally Of
Pennsylvania crews, may be at Wisconsin
next year. The rowing authorities down in
Philadelphia. have for some years had In
mind the establishment Of q graduate
system. Il 10 said that r. r. Zane, stroks
Of the 'os and '04 vanity rev Of the Red
and Blue, Is likely to 30 installed as head
coach of an unpaid graduate system Sam
ual Crowtber, Jr., q member Of Pennsyl-
vania's Henley eight Of '0l, also is, men,
toned as q man likely to be prominent In
such a system Speaking frankly, Penn
syNanians are not ovsrpleased with Ellis
Ward as q rowing coach, o because he
has not had his measure Of success, but
because the movement Ia being made at
Pennsylvania to introduce the graduate
system as strongly as possible In all branches
Of sport. Up to now rowing and track
athletics are the only branches at the uni
venity in which graduate coaching has not
o hold '
For that reason IL would not be sur
prising to zee tho grixzled veteran Of the
good Did days employed at Wisconsin next
year. He probably would be Of value out
there, but the story Is that there is to be
no graduate professional coaching at the
University Of Wisconsin; which, however,
is likely to- be found not to apply to rowing,
There ia hardly a chance that there will
b graduate coaching in rowing at the
Badger university for some yeafs to come.
The fact that Pennsylvania ID In favor Of
graduate coaching in rowing recalls the
statement made last winter by Francis 8
Bangs OF Columbia, that he expected tina,
all the colleges must eventually come Il
the graduate system in rowing training
Columbia, with Jasper T. Goodwin, Is com
mitted topthe policy, and there is smai
doubt that Goodwin will remain at Colum
bia. Pennsylvania Is swinging into line. I
is hardly likely that Syracuse will be among
the first to,try this plan, because victory /
too dear to the heart of the Salt City mel
to make them favor giving up Ten Eyck
Wisconsin's position has been stated, al
though Mr.. Angel says that he think
that some day there will be q gradual
rowing system there. Georgetown vii
stick to Dempsey. Cornell will hold Il
Courtney "a long as the latter is able Il
work. Following his retirement, 1t i
more than likely that Colson will be INSTALLER
as rowing mentor and that again will be tn
graduate system.
Apropos Of Wisconsin, Mr.. Angel hac
