A&M,
41-3
Blue comes alive for
national TV audience
By KATHY HENNEHAN
Who would have, believed it? The
Texas A&M game was supposed to be
close. But after two mediocre per-
formances against Duke and Navy,
Michigan roared back and crushed
the fifth-ranked Aggies 41-3 before a
regional television audience and a
crowd of 104,802.
The Wolverines celebrated'the 50th
anniversary game at Michigan Sta-
dium with several season highs: the
most points scored, the longest pass
play and the longest rushing gain
from scrimmage.
BUT PERHAPS the most satisfy-
ing aspect of the game was the
Wolverines' style of play. Bo Schem-
bechler, so often criticized for his
conservatism, looked downright dar-
ing next to Emory Bellard, his A&M
counterpart.
Consider the fact that Michigan
gained 101 yards on 19 attempts
through the air while the Aggies
posted only three. And Sdhembech;
ler' defense played with reckless
abandon, accounting for two touch-
downs.
The Aggies, however, drew first
blood late in the first quarter on a
24-yard field goal from barefoot-
kicker Tony Franklin. The score was
set up after Michigan fullback Rus-
sell Davis committed his first of two
fumbles and Texas A&M recovered
at the Michigan 27.
DAVIS ENDED up with 110 yards
rpshing in 19 carries, scored two
touchdowns and was named Offen-
sive Player of the Game by ABC
Television and Chevrolet.
"Davis is good," joked Schembech-
ler. "If he keeps fumbling we'll not
be friends but he's still good."

BULLETIN
DACCA, Bangladesh [AP] - Radio
Bangladesh said today an "armed
revolution" was in progress in Bang-
ladesh by the armed forces, students,.
peasants and workers.
In a brief broadcast at 5:50 a.m.
[8 p.m. EDT], the radio told its lis-
teners to stand by for an "important
message." It followed with the
announcement of an "armed revolu-
tion."
The reports followed an outbreak
of shooting in the Bangladesh capital.
The gunfire had died down by
daybreak.
There was no immediate indication
as to the progress of the apparent
coup attempt, but the radio station
said it had been taken over by people
describing themselves as members
of a "people's army."

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) -
The United States joined with the Soviet
Union yesterday in urging Israel to rec-
ognize the "legitimate rights of the Pal,
estinian people" and to grant a nego-
tiating role at Middle East peace talks
to their "representatives."
A joint declaration, designed to speed
up convening of a Geneva conference
on the Middle East, called also on Israel
to withdraw from territory occupied
during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.

By R. J. SMITH
If, perchance, you had gone for a Friday morning stroll by
the Law Quad, or if your daily constitutional lead you past the
Michigan League, chances are that you might very well have
encountered an unusual gathering.
In virtually all corners of the campus could be seen
umerous middle aged men and women, almost all bearing

Over his shoulder a fellow classmate from '33 responded,
"I dunno about that-we had nudity too, but it was in the
Huron River.
Friday and Saturday, almost 500 alumnis and friends of
the University of Michigan descended upon the campus, for
the 16th annual meeting of one of the nation's most successful
and prestigious private donor organizations, the President's
Club.
Joining the Club is a rather simple matter: no private cor-
porations are allowed, members must keep informed on
group news and events, and they must each make a
minimum donation to the University of $10,000.
Wendell Lyons, Director of Development for the Univer-
sity, said he is proud of the 2,070-member organization.
