 No further developments in the resignation of Coach Mike Donahue
 were noted up to late hour tt night. The keenest regret has been in evi- dence since the intentions of the pop ular Tiger mentor were made known yesterday. Coach Donahue is we'll
 known and loved by all Auburn men, whether they have played on athletic teams under his tutorship or not. Coach Donahue has long been re- garded as one of the best coaches in
 the south, and his clean, above board, hard fighting tactics instilled into all his teams have won for the con-
 genial Irish coach the admiration of
 these coaches and players alike who
 have had to exert their utmost to ct mbat with his well trained athletic teams of the past.
 The Tiger coach has faced the
 great handicap of having large
 percentage of the athletes coming
 under his training to start with lit-
 tie or no previous training.
 Nothing is yet known here as to the intentions of the retiring coach.
