Comedy Is Keynote At Sixth Annual Swim Gala Tonight Texas Upsets Mighty Aggies Cadets' Rose Bowl Hopes Shatter At 7-0 Loss AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 28.-(P)- Mighty Texas A. and M. came to the end of its rope -today-strangled by an ancient jinx and a magnificent football team. One fierce thrust in the first 57 seconds of play by their 46-year old rivals, the University of Texas, bagged a touchdown, wrecked the Rose Bowl-b6und Cadets and para- lyzed 45,000 fans. It was just that quick. Final score: Texas 7, Aggies 0. Briefly and shockingly, it was Tex- as' football game from that first bold surge engineered by Peter John Lay- den, today one of the finest football players the old Southwest has ever put on a field. Only once did the Aggies threaten to pick up the thread of their great winning streak that had stretched to 19 consecutive games. That was in the second period on a magnificent one-man riot by John Alec Kim- brough, the All-Americanfullback. He went 63 yards straight downfield on nine carries but the lone Aggie scare petered out on the Texas 12. The jinx they said this Aggie team could lick-tpe one that has prevent- ed a Cadet eleven from winning in Austin since 1922 and allowed it to win only three times in 46 years- laughed its loudest tonight. It cost the Aggies a Rose-Bowl in- vitation, may cost them an undisput- ed Southwest Conference title. But there was a strong possibility they would move into Dallas' Cotton Bowl classic on New Year's day.

Rooms for Private Parties, Kemp, Bahrych, Goldsmith Form Fast, Versatile Forward Wall By ART HILL A new era in Michigan hockey is scheduled to begin tomorrow night when the Wolverine pucksters take the ice for their opening game against the London A.C. team. During the last two seasons, Eddie Lowrey's lads have had a tough time coming out on top in any major game but, with a vastly improved squad, Eddie has high hopes that they will open the 1940-41 season with a vic- tory over the Canadian club. The revised edition of the Mich- igan hockey team will be built around five veterans of last season's squad, bolstered by the addition of four promising newcomers. At the defense positions, Charley Ross, captain of this year's squad, and Bert Stodden, hard checking Ann Ar- bor senior, will carry on-where they left off last year, playing practically the entire game without replacement. Ross and Stodden are both excel- lent defensemen and, in addition can be counted on as occasional scoring threats. Ross is especially dangerous on the offense, being fast, a fine stick handler and the possessor of the hardest shot on the team. On the starting forward line, will be a third veteran, Paul Goldsmith, at center and two sophomores, Max Bahrych and Bob Kemp, flanking him. Goldsmith, a junior, is a much improved player while Bahrych and Kemp were ehe stars of one of the strongest frosh clubs in recent years last season.

CHARLEY ROSS in the goal but Hugh McVeigh, prom- ising sophomore candidate, will also be in uniform and may see service in the nets before the game is over. Jimmy Lovett, playing his third year of Varsity h'ockey, is expected to spark the offensive threats of the second forward wall with junior wingman Johnny Corson and Jimmy Anderson, another new face in the lineup, playing alongside him. Bob Collins and Gil Samuelson will also see action on the Coliseum ice to- morrow night, either as a part of a third forward line, along with Johnny Gillis or Fred Heddle, or as defense replacements for Ross and Stodden, should they need them. Gillis, former Varsity swimmer, has not fully recovered from an injury suffered last week and will probablyl knot play more than a few minutes.I Mann Unfolds Extravaganza Of Tank Talent Fancy And Funny Diving, Water Polo, Mermaids Will Feature Program (Continued from Page 1) But the 1940 edition is different. The accent is on entertainment-"We want to give the people a good time," Matt eplains it.I And entertainment the fans shall have. From top to bottom the pro- gram reads like a three-ring circus. Matt Mann, the dean of water shows, has arranged every event with an eye toward audience-appeal. From River Rouge h's bringing the man that helped put Cleveland's Great Lake Exposition and stogie- chewing Bill Rose's shows over the top-Clayton Mains. Comic Diving He does everything you least ex- pect, and when a hurtling body with arms and legs thrashing the ozone comes plunging off the board-well, you can start holding your sides. That, for your information, will be Clayton Mains-every twist and turn of him. Another sure rib-tickler is the great "Battle of the Century," the faculty water polo match. Anything goes in this event-holding your opponent under water, hitting in the clinches, using a five-man goalie-just any- thing. Betty Burton, Michigan AAU champ and sister of Dobson Burton, the Wolverine natator, is teaming up with Martha Blair to present the feminine side of the show. They are both divers. Record In Danger Sophomore Jim Skinner, in event number three will attempt to crack his own pool record of 1:02.1 for 100 yard breast stroke in one of the feat- ure races of the evening. Matt's varsity, in a handicap race, is throwing all its strength against All-American Gus Sharemet in the 75 yard race. Gus will face Charley Barker and Bill Holmes, both letter winners and Bob West, Claire Morse, and Bill Garvey, sophomores. Jim Welsh, Michigan's great dis- tance man, will hook up with Jack Patten and Dobson Burton in what should be one of the best duels of the show in the 200 yard swim. Bill Gail, deprived of one leg by an auto accident, has consented to give an exhibition of diving that is guar- anteed to thrill the hard-hardest soul. Bill, an orchestra leader on the side, does things off the board with just one underpin that are astounding. Natatorial Extravaganza There's more, too-a class swim race-the "Evolution of Swimming" --dives by Jack Wolin and Strother Martin-a Flipper race and others. The sixth annual Swim Gala is truly a natatorial extravaganza-a 16 event program designed for your pleasure. Admission is 50 cents and the WAA shares in the receipts. Ev- eryone is going to Matt Mann's great- est show yet. By NORM MILLER The usually sunny-dispositioned Bennie Oosterbaan isn't smiling so broadly these days. The reason? Mr. Oosterbaan has a weighty task on his hands. All Bennie has to do before the curtain is raised on the 1940 basketball season here, Dec. 7, is to find capable replacements for last year's Captain Jim Rae and Charlie Pink. And that's no small job, either. High scoring, six-foot, four inch cen- ters and speedy 40-minute guards don't exactly grow on the neighbor- hood bushes. Between them last year Rae and Pink tallied 356 points, al- most half the team's total, handled the brunt of the Wolverines' defen- sive tasks, and contributed no little toward keeping up the morale of a mediocre team. Work To Plug Gaps But the philosophic Mr. Oosterbaan isn't wasting any time saturating crying towels over his graduated hoop stars. Right now Bennie's bending all his efforts toward filling their illustrious shoes with the material on hand. As matters stand right now, Cap- tain Herb Brogan, little Mike Sofiak and George Ruehle are slated to fill regular berths in the Varsity lineup. But even their exact positions are question marks. All three can play either forward or guard, so Oosterbaan is waiting to see how the rest of the squad shapes up before assigning his three veterans to regular stations. Rookie Shows Well At present, Jim Mandler, a six-footj four-inch sophomore from Chicago, looms the number one prospect for Rae's vacated center job. Mandler has plenty of sorely needed height and a good shooting eye, but Bennie has his fingers crossed pending the rook- ie's initial performances under fire. The fifth position on the team is wide open. Lanky Bob Fitzgerald, Bill Cartmill and sophomore Mel Comm are trying hard to convince Ooster- baan that the job belongs to a for- ward with Brogan, Sofiak or Ruehle filling the guard posts.

MAIN STREET Cagers Compete To Fill Shoes Of Rae, Pink On Starting Five S At the same time, however, Jim Grissen, who began showing promise at the end of last year, and Leo Doyle, another sophomore, would rather see the team's veterans in the forecourt and are waging a merry battle for one of the guard positions. Don Holman, Bill Herrmann, and Harold Westerman are also in the picture, but are handicapped by lack of height on a team where six-foot- ers are at a premium. II FLY DOUBLE '1 can't help but believe that the Wol- Hal Hursh. In his first year as a punt- verines won everything in the Big er Tom wound up the season with a Ten except one measly football game 41.5 yards per kick record, which and the title. Even though Michigan had only four Conference battles, while every other team had either five or six, the Wolverines led the way in al- most every department. Tom Harmon scored more points than any other back in Big Ten com- petition with a total of 40, while Min- nesota's George Franck, who played in two more games than the Michi- gan ace, ran second with 36. In yards gained rushing, it was Bullet Bob Westfall first with a 443 net total and Harmon following be- hind in third place with 330 yards picked up via the running route. One interesting fact is found in the total offensive figures where West- fall, who failed to complete the only pass he attempted all year, still man- aged to finish with the fifth best record in the Conference despite the presence of a host of triple-threat backs in enemy line-ups. Harmon, of course, finished first in thatbdepartment by adding 306 yards by passing to his rushing total of 636 yards. The nearest man to Terrible Tom is Smith again with 547. Perhaps the most amazing of all figures is the punting averages where Harmon finished third behind Ohio's Don Scott and Indiana's "Hurlin" isn't bad in any league. Things looked bad for the Wolver- ines after the opening California game when Harmon booted the ball 25 yards a try. It was a disappointing factor since the Ace had practiced his punting all summer while he worked as a life guard on one of Lake Michigan's sandy beaches. But it wasn't disappointing for long, because Harmon improved in every game and finally climaxed the season with a 50-yard average, against Ohio Saturday. Well, those are the individual sta- tistics, and the teamn figures are even more impressive. The Wolverines led their Conference rivals in points scored, scoring defense, total offense, first downs, pass completions and punting average. If nothing else, Michigan wins the Conference mythical title for 1940.
