Sophomore and Junior lettermen on the varsity football team at the University of Pennsylvania voted Monday against rehiring Coach Steve Sebo.
The results of the poll, submitted to J.D. Gisbourne, vice-President in charge of Student Affairs, were considered by a faculty committee on athletics, which met yesterday.
The committee's decision was sent directly to University President Gaylord P. Harnwell, but was not released. Harnwell will probably announce his decision early next week.
Sebo, whose contract expires this year, has won only four games in his three years at Penn.
In an informal poll taken by the Daily Pennsylvanian about 20 players voted against rehiring Sebo, while only two voted to keep him. Less than half of the 46-man squad expressed an opinion in the newspaper's poll, however.
Sebo, who came to Penn in 1953, did not win a game in his first two seasons, but this year picked up four victories, including a 28 to 14 uset over a favored Crimson eleven. A campus poll at the end of his second losing season gave a vote of confidence to the coach.
