choice OF the committee, and II was finally
decided to recommend at least two and
possibly five OF the candidates, permitting
the board to pass finally as 20 who should

tivos were not unanimous in the selection.

wisconsin Man Considered.
stien Of Wisconsin is being considered for
the place. While not 30 prominent In
athletics, stion comes highly recommended
according TO members OF the board. He
was assistant coach at Wisconsin for one
year and has had experience IN the physical
education department. He has also had ex-
perience in coaching.
Grey Of Harvard and childs OF Yale
loom up as the possibilities in the selection
Of the coach and the choice viii probably
be narrowed down to these two men.
Childs seems TO have the preference and II
would be no surprise II the Yale man were
chosen. He has assisted in the physical de-
partment Of his almo mater and while in
college was regarded as a wonderful ath-
iete in all branches. Grey has nearly as
strong recommendations and It wiuld not
beu urprising II the position wss rendered
him.
