Owner William Clay Ford of the Lions said Gilmer had accepted a three-year contract, but terms were not disclosed. The hiring of Gilmer followed the mid-December firings of Wil- son's five assistant coaches and Wilson's later resignation. Wilson walked out on Ford in a huff, complaining he could not work under conditions imposed by Ford. Wilson reportedly had been deprived of much authority he previously held. The announcement of Gilmer's employment came in a terse state- ment by a Lions spokesman.

Schedule Break "This is the first week in a long time that we are able to concen-I trate on past performances," Strack pointed out. "With exams and our tight schedule, we have not had much time to practice." Strack was of course disap- pointed in the Holiday Tourna- ment results. His team defeated Manhattan, 90-77, but squeaked by Princeton, 80-78. When Prince- ton All-American Bill Bradley fouled out with 4:37 to play, Michigan"trailed by 14 points. Bradley scored 41 points and was voted the tournament's MVP award. "He's a fine ball player with moves similar to those of Terry Dischinger (Detroit Pis- tons)," Strack added.

(P) -Coach Tommy Prothro of Oregon State said Wednesday a study of the Rose Bowl game films convinces him that Michigan is the greatest, football team he has ever seen. Michigan defeated Oregon State 34-7 in the game. "We had some bad luck and we had some bad lapses, but we hadj those all year and managed toI recover," said Prothro. "This time our opponent was just plainly superior. I don't know' if we played better all year, but I don't think so. If we played that well in every game, no one else would have beaten us. "The pictures are really inter- esting. There were times when our players blasted Michigan players at full speed and only wound up flat on their backs with the other people on top of them. I've never seen such hitting." --finest quality laundry- COATS and $140 DRESSES plain A & P Cleaners 312 E.
