LOOMINGTON, Ind. Dec. 6 (NEA) —Paul Graham, halfback and captain-elect of Indiana's football team, was told by Coach Bo McMillin that he was too small for the gridiron sport when he first reported in 1934. So Graham went back home to Eldorado, Kas., and worked with a road construction gang for a year, picking up 15 pounds.

Tex, himself a great free-styler a few years back, helped lead the Wolverines to Big Ten and national titles, but now that he's out on his own, he's going to bring a bit of aquatic honor to the hot, dry plains of Texas, of all places—or drown in the attempt. This is Robertson's first year as paid coach at the Longhorn institution. For two years he coached Texas to Southwest Conferences swimming titles—and did it without the slightest semblance of financial return. Finally, this fall, he was hired under a salary contract. There Oughta Be a Law And here's the little poetic quirk bv which the ambitious Mr. Robertson hopes to bring about his little coup d'etat. The material which he has attracted to Austin normally might be considered as coming from regular Michigan recruiting grounds such as Detroit, Ann Arbor, Buffalo and Chicago. Four potential stars on the Longhorn freshman team are from Detroit. They are Billy Brink, who placed fourth in national diving a year ago; Bill Pioch, ace free-styler; Billy Buckinham, another corking good sprinter from the Detroit A. C., and Ira Brenneman, a dash man from Massenutten Academy, breeding grounds of many a good swimmer.
Included also on the frosh -oster |
is Juliard Carr of Ann Arbor, who, because he is the son of Lowell J. Carr, a Michigan instructor, just about establishes a new high in

| style records. Then there is Al Jacobson, a Chicago lad who holds the national interscholastic breast stroke title. He also hails from Massenutten. Buffalo sent Walter Blake and Bill Chonisky, free-styler, and Merrill Hickey, diver. They Even Have Flanagan
To top off a great vearling squad is Ralph Flanagan, the sensational Miami, Fla, Olympic star and holder of 15 American and three world free-style records. Until this great crop of first year en become eligible for varsity | competition, Robertson has for a whale of a good nucleus, Adolph Kiefer, Chicago's Olympic back stroke titlist. Kiefer is the best in the business at his specialty. Aiding Kiefer is Mike Sojka of Buffalo and Walter Hoffrichter of Detroit, two good breast strokers, the latter by way of Massenutten.
no money is being spent to draw this tank talent to their campus. Only four athletic jobs are available for distribution and these all go to football players. All the swimmers, however, have jobs, but the work they do has no connection with the university. Meanwhile Tex Robertson is sitting back and waiting for next year —when he can take his great crew of freshmen—who then will be sophomores—and swamp Michigan under the backwash kicked up by his Longhorn speed merchants assembled from Detroit and Ann Ar-

University officials at Texas say |
| hi Terry had a’ big Williams pipe in his mouth. McCarthy doesn't | like pipes. Two years ago in the
| South McCarthy made all his ball |
| players quit smoking pipes. “When you start smoking pipes you are too contented about things,” said McCarthy. So when Terry appeared smoking a pipe McCarthy—well, he must have thought he was in his own dressing room. He said a 10t of | things about pipes. | In effect Terry replied, | smoke a pipe if I want to.” | One word led to another. The [last recorded word was from Terry. | He said, “Oh, I guess you think vou |are pretty hot stuff, just because {you won the blue ribbon.”
They Looked Pretty Bad
The listeners-in decided this meant the World Series. McCarthy (and his Yankees had made Terry and his Giants look pretty bad in the last two series. It was interesting to sit around and see the managers of two championship teams yap at each other. It made one feel that baseball was really worth while. It was also an interesting study {of the two managers. Terry does | What he’s paid to do. If the club | wins, swell. If he finishes second jor third it's the best the club can do.

| minded. For some reason a pipe has become a symbol of contentment to | McCarthy and he wants no part of it. So when Terry wandered into the party with a big pipe hanging from his lips, McCarthy got annoyed and words were passed. They weren't angry words, but they! might just as well have been. Because anybody who is close to McCarthy knows he isn’t wholly in love with Terry—and the fact he smokes a pipe has nothing to do with it. The answer to the Mec-
Carthy-Terry feud is very simple. McCarthy's Yankees beat Terry's Giants two straight times—and Terry has vet to come into the Yankees’ dressing room and shake hands with anybody.
McCarthy Old Fashioned
McCarthy is an old fashioned | person. He has admiration for a good loser and a good winner. He] wouldn’t care if the guy smoked opium. The pipe incident was
merely an invitation to speak his mind in a restrained but honest | manner. He just doesn’t like Terry | too much. And I'm afraid that | makes it unanimous. All they are talking about around

It may surprise you but the Boston Bees have a better chance to get him—unless he is sold by the time these lines are printed—than any other club that has been mentioned in possible transactions. Bostor has told Brooklyn it will meet any price that has been set on Mun£0 and it so happens there is plenty cl money in Boston to swing a major deal. Whether Mungo will leave Brooklyn or not is a guess. He has been badly managed. He is eccentric, a cry-baby, and all that, but he can De managed. Some of our greatest ball players were just like him.
