the school year with Dean A. E. Mi
nard as acting president.
Dean Minard was left in charge by
DR.. John Lee Coulter, whose resigna-
ton as president becomes effective
Sept. l. and there appears to be no
disposition on the part Of the state
board Of administration to make any
change in this arrangement until a
permanent president is selected.
Although board members cannot
guess when a decision will be reached
on this question they are agreed that
It will not be soon. AS yet the hunt
for a successor has consisted Of OBJ

TRAGEDY AND COMEDY MIXED
WITH DEATH IN SHIPS CRASH
Whirlpool Created by Sinking
Craft Threw Lifeboat Into
the Air; One Saved
MAN LOSES FALSE Teeth
Mother Tosses Son on Prov OF
Tanker, Then Goes Down
With Sinking Vessel

San Francisco. Aug. 3l.-R-
Scenes of tragedy and horror accom-
panying the sinking Of the passenger
vessel San Juan were reviewed by the
q survivors today as some OF them
from the shock and M
jurics and others sought reunion with
anxious relatives and friends.
An account of the sinking by Harry
A. Wade, a San Juan passenger who
was on his way to Los Angeles to
become chief engineer Of another
ship. was typical.
"At the danger whistles I Inn
mediately assisted in marshaling a
lifeboat off the davits and entered
the water with woman and child
and two men, said Wade, I'VE rode
10 yards from the sinking ship when
it plunged. The whirlpool threw the
lifeboat In the air and we all fell into
the water.
II started swimming and looked for
the woman and the child but could
find no trace of them. One person
floated close to me. I made grab
for him but he sank. g.
swimming around there I could
hear the last screams of the terror
stricken people as they were pulled
down into the vortex created by the
sinking Ship
Wade was picked up by Munami
lifeboat. His story contradicted re-
ports that no lifeboats were launched
from the San Juan.
A thin vein of comedy ran through
some Of the stories. Alex Cowie. q
passenger. said he was carried down
by the suction Of the sinking ship,
but was heaved back to the surface
when the San Juan's boilers exploded
He said the concussion which forced
him up and probably saved his life
caused him to lose his new set Of
false teeth which had cost him $40.
They were shouting. crying. calling
for life preservers." said George II
Houghton, Los Angeles business man.
Some were praying. someone was
swearing. There must have been lots
of persons In the water. because
could hear many screams. Then Il
became deathly STILL A thousand
things ran through my mind. must
have lived an eternity In six or sev-
en- minutes. It reminded me ol
Dante's Inferno
Perhaps the most extraordinary
rescue was that Of 6-year-old Hollis
Pifer. When the crash came. his
mother. Mrs. Marjorie Pifer. Of Loe
Angeles. ran out on deck, carrying
him. She saw the big bow Of the oil
tanker buried In the side Of the San
Juan. She tossed her son up to the
deck Of the tanker and then went
down with the San Juan. Little Hol-
lis rode safely into San Francisco or
the tanker.

AUSTIN, May 22.-When Bruce
Barnes defeated Berkeley Bell for
the Southwestern Conference sim
giles title here last Saturday after
noon. he brought to a close n Of
the most successful seasons in the
tennis history OF Teaxs. The Texas
entries were favored to win the title.
but not in the overwhelming man
ner In which they did. Showing
complete superiority over the other
conference players. the Steers placed
four men i'm the singles. semi-finals
and both their teams in the doubles
finals.
During the past season. the Steer
METERS have lost only III match,
that to Southwest Texas State

Not a single member Of the first
six ranking squad members has
dropped a match this season. and
only four or five sets have beer
dropped by these six men. Bel.
Barnes. Ferguson. Dunlap, Taylor
and LaCoSte.
Following their sweep Of the con-
ference titles. the Steer meters will
continue practice for the state meet
in which practically every member
or the Steer squad will be entered.
Bell and Barnes will be favored to
60 a long way in this meet. with one

ored to cop the doubles title.
Texas will send two men 10 the

Barnes and Bell. Bell was in the
meet last year and went to the
semi-finals before he was elm
mated. This year. he and Barnes
will be listed among the favorites to

per cent since the beginning OF the
year, and the youthful Texas ace has
a good chance or coping the ma
tional crown.
