TEAMS SEEK
NEW COACHES

CHICAGO, Feb. 12. U.P)-Two
western conference schools - Ohio
State and Indiana - were without
football coaches today, but one of
them, Indiana, has its next coach
all picked out and ready to sign.
He is Don Peden, Ohio UNIVERSE
ty coach for the past 10 years and
former University of Illinois ath-
lete. Peden is expected to sign a
contract this week. Negotiations
with Peden have been completed
except for the length of the con-
tract. Indiana coaches are normal
ly given one year contracts but it
is understood that Peden will get a
three year contract to enable him
to establish his system fully.
E. C. Billy Hayes, Indiana coach
for the past three years, announc-
ed his retirement Saturday. He was
forced out by alumni who were dis
satisfied with Indiana's gridiron
failures during his regime. Hayes,
head track coach at Indiana since
1924, probably will be retained in
that capacity.
Ohio State is still seeking a sue
cessor to Sam William, who resign
