And you fight "off a phobia, for their manner of asking suggests sarcasm, their tone contempt. You're not asked because they think you might have the "in- side," but because they think you're i wise guy, and if you're such a wisen- heimer, they want to hear more. And you can't tell them any more. All you know comes from the papers, which intimates to- day that George Veenker is your juan, tomorrow that Ray Mor- Ison is it. You search for Field- ing H. Yost, but he isn't around, . arousing the suspicion that may- be he's already on the hunt. someone whispers that Professor Aigler left for the East this mtorning. You make no effort to Check on the report, being in a frame of mind of not caring whether he has or hasn't. Any- body's guess is a good one. All this rumor that Friedman's name is on the dotted line, or that Dorais' appointment is all set except for a minor salary adjustment, slants off from some peculiar angles. For example, you go to Philadelphia as early as last November and learn that Ray Morrison will be the next coavh at Michigan, and the Quakers ,tell you about it with a knowing wink, and you mumble to yourself an old saw about being so close to the forest you can't see" the *.trees. Morrison's dame, it .occurred later, gained mo- 1-entum from a Philly newspaperman who used .to, work in Ann Arbor and heard it from "reliable" 'sources here. Now Morrison, you read in the 'afternoon papers, is awaiting' Michigan interviewers. And you hear further that he isn't the panacea Michigan seeks because he's schooled in the "Michigan tradition" of football, being a protege of Dan McGugin, Yost's brother-in-law, and thus not the new blood needed. And for the first time, you realize that foot- ball systems, as well as blue eyes,I big noses, run in the family. !And while the merry battle rages, :an AP report comes hurtling over the teletype placing Ted Bank, a team- Visitors Hope To Avenge Last Season's Defeat; Tilt Starts At 8 P.M. ur VV1 au,...bunch of old dlog hides donated by i Down Tuscaloosa way where they Washington's Huskies in 1926. and a don't take nuthin' offtnobuddy, least Couger rug acrued from Washing- of all Pacific Coast football teams, ton in 1931.

Itinerant Yankee Peddlers are preparing to eave the Southland before they are measured for a suit of tar and feath- ers. Duelling pistols and fans are getting oiled. The pernicious rumor which has Dixie riled up isn't discussed in front of the women-folk. In strictly stag affairs it causes strong men to turn pale with rage. Alabama, Gentlemen, Alabama is' rated as under-dog (and smile when you say that). The Yankee press has intimated that there is a chance that the mighty Crimson Tide might lose when they invade the Rose Bowl at Pasadena, Calif., New Year's Day for the fifth time to play the Univer- sity of California. Undefeated Alabama, the team with the heritage of three victories and one tie in four trips to the Bowl, the roster that once bore the im- mortal names of John Mack Brown, Dixie Howell, Don Hutson, Riley Smith and countless others. A man might as well believe that a certain cigar chewing, ex-harness salesman by the name of Grant whipped Marse Robert in '65, that Beauregard once had twoswivel chairs shot out from under him. Its absurd, this under-dog stuff,I and everybody knows it.

The finals will be held to- night at 7:30 p.m. Because of the large number of en- tries in the 125, 135, 145, and 155 pound divisions, semi-finals will also be held tonight.

Phil Haughey and Dick Kurtz kept Psi U in the race with firsts in the 50 yard free-style and back stroke but the all- around strength of the A.T.O. won the match. Tom Colbridge, who won the 25 free style event in fast time, was another A.T.O. individual star. Bob Campbell, free-styler and Har- ry Howell, backstroker, won firsts for S.A.E. and proved to be the stars in defeating Chi Phi. The Chi Phis were in the meet until the back stroke when Howell and Stu Wade came in first and second, Howell finishing in .the good time of 14.4 seconds. John Moser won the 50 yard sprint and Berry Ratliff the breast stroke for Chi Phi. f,' T STROH'S CARLI NG'S FRIAR'S ALE At All Dealers J. J. O'KANE, Dist.
