came from good authority tonight.
The committees appointed by the

they considered seriously recon-
mending graduate coaches wherever
there is one that seems TO have

TO the seasonal one are all small
where the problem of coaching is
not SO great as IL is where there
are several thousand students out

at the larger institutions could not
find time to teach.
One Harvard coach, DIR. Howe. in
