ny IS far from unanimous. Some
Conservative Yale men see no reason

coaching situation, and while people
close to him say he prefers an unpaid

that unquestionably there should ne

was very enthusiastically in favor OF
Frank Hinkey. and though he says
nothing now, II IS believed that ne
hasn't changed his ioeas.
