SEES is a positive forecast of what is to
come in badger athletics. There is not
enough money in the treasury to hire
professional coaches, and 1t Is learned
on good authority that all the paid
instructors will be let out in the near
future. 1t is settled that the varsity
crew will not be sent east this spring
and It seems that Coach O'Dea's serv-
ices In the aquatic department will
be needed no longer. 1t is not likely
that baseball coach will be CONTRACT
ed with this spring, although Elmer
Pierce was selected some weeks ago.
Manager Downer gave out the fol
lowing statement last night:
wisconsin athletics are in a bad
way and It Is impossible to say just
where things will stop. No coaches
will be engaged for the coming season
until the faculty takes final action on
the football situation. Just at present
