Jack Gray Resigns As TV Cage Coach Austin, Tex., March 20—(TP)— Jack Gray resigned yesterday as basketball boach at the University of Texas to enter the consti'uction business. Gray was the second head coach of a major sport to quit at the University this school year. Foot ball Coach Blair Cherry quit Jan. 1. Gray’s resignation, effective July 1, was announced by Dr. Ver non Schuhardt, chairman of the Athletic Council. Withdrawal of the highly suc cessful, popular coach came as a complete surprise even to tbe coun cil. Gray, a 1935 All-America Long horn forward and mentor of three championship Texas quintets, had been mentioned as a possible suc cessor to Athletic Dh'ector D. X. Bible whenever the latter should decide to retire. No Successor Named Dr. Schuhardt said the council had no announcement to make con cerning a successor. LAST DAY “Three Guys Named Mike” WED. thru SATURDAY TODAY & WEDNESDAY “Bora Yesterday” Gray said he would join the Mor rison Construction Company. The amiable, good-looking bas ketball strategist had a knack for fitting his attack to the kind of material he had. This year was a prime example. At the start of the season, Texas was rated to finish no better than fifth. The experts said Texas did n’t have the material. The Long horns finished in a three-way tie with Texas A&M and Texas Christ ian University but didn’t place a player on the all-Conference first team. They missed the Regional NCAA playoff by a one-pdint loss to A&M. Hustle Gets Credit Gray said most of the credit should be given to “hustle.”. His other pennant winners were the teams of 1939 and 1947. He produced three All-Americans, Bob by Moers in 1940, John Hargis in 1947,, and Slater Martin in 1949. He was head coach continuously from 1935 except for three war years when he served in the Navy. The 39-year-old coach is a mem ber of the Nation Basketball Rules Committee. His salary reportedly was about .$8,000 a year. He is married, has two daughters.

The Pacific Coast team wrap ped up its crown in convincing style by nearly running UCLA to death before defeating the Bruins 70-51 and 71-54. Although A&M will be out matched by taller men, Coach John Floyd considers the A&M team anything but underdogs. The Huskies won all nine of their non-conference games, 11 of their 16 conference games and both of their playoffs. A&M, by comparison, won six non-con ference tilts and dropped six, won eight of its 12 conference battles, and captured three of its four playoff games. A&M will probably start 6-8 Walter Davis at center, 6-5 John Longhorn Nine Blanks Karow’s Buckeyes, 8 - 0 Austin, Tex., March 20— (AP)—Behind the pitching of sophomore Jimmy Hand, the University of Texas blanked Marty Karow’s Ohio State University 8-0 yesterday.
