Without hesitation, it names Fran-_ cis Schmidt as the luckiest guy of the year 1940. Dear old "Shut the Gates of Mercy," in the Double's opinion, is even more fortunate than the thug who was released from Alcatraz just before the holiday sea- son. Yep, lucky Francis got out of Ohio State in time to spend Christ- mas at home with the kiddies. In second place in this annual contest was Oscar Vitt, another fugi- tive. The thug from Alcatraz ran a close third. Imagine ,the coach who felt bad about losing a job at Ohio State? They tell me that Earl Martineau and Clarence Munn have been men- tioned as possible successors to Schmidt. Contacted last night, both Marty and Biggie said that they had heard nothing of any offers from the land where the mud runs deep. Which is only natural. It's the same as if President Roosevelt were offered the job of running Bessarabia. Frankly, the Double thinks that Ohio State had better concentrate on signing Massilon High's Paul Brown in a hurry. No man with college training would ever con- sider accepting the job. A Minneapolis department store has placed Joe Mernik's right foot- ball shoe on display . . . Among his many offers, Tom Harmon got one from ^a Sheridan, Wyo. radio sta- tion . . . They offered the Hoosier Hammer a job after he graduates ... Nope, they didn't offer $25,000 per ... or ever $5,000 .. . Little difference that makes when Sheridan is only 40 miles away from Buffalo, Wyo., the home of a certain campus coed whose name my readers forbid me to mention again . . Harmon, Frutig, and Evashevski are somewhere in Nebraska on their way to San Francisco today while Ralph Fritz leaves for Montgomery, Ala., and the North-South game tomorrow ... John Mariucci, form- Minnesota hockey and gridiron badman, broke into professional hockey with the Blackhawks the other day . . . The injury-riddled Chicago squad called himup from Providence to fill out the team . They say that big "Maroosh" has changed and might make good in the big leagues . . . He isn't as rough ... He's working on the tech- nique, the finer points and aban- doning the "knock 'em dead stuff." Broncos Defeat UCLA KALAMAZOO, Mich., Dec. 18-(Al) -Western State Teachers College's basketball team upset the touring Un- iversity of California at Los Angeles quintet here tonight, 56 to 43, in a game in which four players were ejected on personal fouls. The Bron- cos were paced by Fred Kahler, sophomore guard, who scored 16 points. C oach SelecLs 11-Man Squad To Make Trip Notre Dame Quintet Willj Seek Revenge For Two Previous Michigan Wins! (Continued from Page_1) but went down when Wisconsin made good on 20 out of 28 foul shots. Keogan will have four regular members of the team nosed out by the Varsity, 41-39, last season, in the quintet that takes the floor against Michigan tonight. Leading the Ramblers is- Capt. Eddie Riska, the team's high scorer who tossed in 23 points against the Wolverines last season. George So-, bek, big six-footer, teams up with Riska in the forecourts. The Irish also have a veteran guard combination in Larry Ryan and Bob Smith, while Cy Singer, six- foot-two-inch sophomore who jumps center, is the only newcomer on the Notre Dame team. Oosterbaan plans to stand pat on Natators Head For Swimfest In Dee South An Opett Letter to Citizens of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida: Dear Friends, Tomorrow the greatest collection of swimmers. ever gathered on one team leaves cold Ann Arbor for your fair city. Yes, Michigan's great gang is coming down south for a bit of sunshine again. But this year we really have a team! You remember the bunch that came down last Christmas, don't you? Well, they went on to win the Big Ten, National Collegiate and AAU titles during the '39-'40 season. We only lost three men from that crew-namely our captain and diver Hal Benham, Johnny Haigh and Ed Hutchens. To replace those stars, however, Matt Mann has the swim- min'est bunch of sophomores you ever laid eyes on. Keep your blinkers peeled for Jack Patten, Jim Skinner, Bob West, Ted Horlenko, Bruce Allen, Will Garvey and Claire Morse; they're all coming down. Skinner is already a national champ in the breast stroke and this boy Patten is nothing short of sen- sational. We've got veterans back at Michi- gan, too. Surely you recall Gus Shar- emet, national 100 yard champ, and his kid brother John. They're making the trip along with our newly married trio of Francis Heydt, Blake Thax- ter and Bill Holmes-all honey- mooning. Captain Bill Beebe, Charley Barker and Dobson Burton will be your guests for a couple of weeks too. Watch Matt's freshmen - they're really good; Louis Kivi, Dan Felski and Lou Haughey in particular. Distance man Jim Welsh and diver T-Bone Martin are also scheduled to be in one of the nine carloads of Wolverine champions that Mann is leading to the land of sunshine. Here's hoping you get down to Mu- nicipal Pool for a glance at the Maize and, Blue. Matt Mann claims they're his best gang yet. Yours for a joyous Christmas, Woody Block DETROIT, Dec.; 18-(A')--Barred from trading by an American League rule, the championship Detroit Tig- ers nevertheless completed another player transaction today. President Walter 0. Briggs an- nounced the club had acquired the services of Eric McNair, 30 year old infielder, from the Chicago White Sox at the waiver price of $'7,500. McNair, a right-handed batsman,. has played with tihe Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago Cubs since en- tering the American League late in the 1929 season. He has played sec- ond base, shortstop and third base. The Detroit club indicated MeNair would serve as a utility infielder. De- troit's regular infield-composed of Rudy York at first base, Charley Gehringer at second, Dick Bartell at shortstop and Pinky Higgins at third-is the oldest in the major leagues. McNair batted .227 for the White Sox in 66 games last season. He had his best season in the majors in 1939 ATHLETIC 112 S.

I -M Wrestling Finals Staged At Field House Intramural wrestling activities were brought to a climax yesterday afternoon as Coach Cliff Keen com- pleted the finals of the All-Campus wrestling meet in Yost Field House. Campus individual champions were determined in classes ranging from 123 to 175 pounds. Dick Kopel won from Swanson to take the 123 pound title. Bob Cunningham and Fred Kle- mach fought it out in an evenly matched bout, with Klemach winning over his opponent by an 8-5 decision, to become king of the 130 pounders. Next bout saw Ed Wight pinning Bob Begle in 1:30.5 for the 135 pound crown. In the heavier divisions, Melvin Becker and Harold Langstaff put on the show of the day as they see- sawed back and forth in an evenly matched bout. Becker ended up with a 16 to 13 decision over Langstaff., George McIntyre lost the 155 pound crown to Milan Cobble on a decision of 27 to 6. Jim Davantz lost on a fall to Jack O'Connor in 5:10. John Wilson and Emil Lockwood tangled for the heavy division title, and Lock- wood beat his burly opponent by a 12 to 8 decision. JIM GRISSEN ...*husky Dutchman the starting array that led the Wol- verines to victory in their first two games. Sofiak and Fitzgerald, the team's leading scorers, will fill the forward posts, sophomore Jim Mand- ler will be at center, and Brogan and Ruehle will occupy the guard posi- tions. Herrmann, Cartmill and Grissen will form the first line of reserve strength on whom the Varsity men- tor will call to spell his regulars.
