Signing Of Jesse Hawiey

Hanover, n. H., Jan. 3.--Dartmouth
undergraduates returning for the re-
opening of college expressed delight
with the settlement of the coaching
problem as divulged by the athletic
council after long dangling for its
desired coaches.
The appointment of Jesse Hawley,
former Iowa and Princeton assistant
mentor, finds much favor as well as
the retention of Jackson Camel,
green coach for the last two seasons
as an assistant. Ryan, an end coach,
and McAuliffe, line coach, during
the last fall, were also reappointed
and this move has met with favor of
both players and students alike.

MAY EXTEND CONFERENCE.
New England College Body Likely 10
Include Other institutions.

Boston, Jan. S.-The plans for an
athletic conference of the six state
colleges Of New England have been
extended to make possible admission
of other than state institutions, it
was learned yesterday. AS proposed,
membership was to have been limited
to Massa chusetts Agricultural Col
lege, University of Vermont, New
Hampshire College, University of
Maine. Rhode Island State College
and Connecticut State College. 1t
was found desirable, however, to
maintain traditional relations between
several of these colleges and cher
institutions.
Plans are under way also for an
other conference of New England col
leges, in which Amherst, Williams
and Wesleyan authorities have been
active. 1t has been suggested that
steps be taken toward linking the
two propositions, but to date it is
said the movements are distinct.
