Coach Question.
An added air Of mystery was thrown

but he seems to have stopped up eff
fectiveiy every avenue Of news
through which the identity of the new
coach might become known. This
much is known. Director Ehler was
in consultation with the executive
committee of the board Of regents un-
til after midnight one night last week
and on the following day a member
of the board let slip the remark that

Ice-boating may become a regular
winter sport, sanctioned by the uni
versity athletic department. if plans
formulated by a number of students
are carried out. The freezing over of
Mendoza and Monona lakes this week
was the signal for the followers Of the
great winter pastime to overhaul their
boats and as soon as the ice becomes
firm enough the sailing will be started
A number of enthusiasts met this week
to inquire into the feasibility of hold
