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." See DAVIS, Page 8 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."

(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."

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. a
