EDITORIAL COMMENT
WHY A CONFERENCE?
You ask why a Conference at all?
The east does not need one?
But the west does, and Michigan is
in the west. The west tried up until
1906 to get along without a Confer-
ence. The west failed, every president
in the west agreed, including Presi-
dent Angell, that a Conference was
necessary to western college sports.
The Conference was thus formed.
But the east? The east does not
need a Conference because it has "tra-
ditions" that have been handed down
for years as to what is right and
proper in athletics. These traditions
have been sufficient in the east.
We tried the eastern scheme up .un-
til 1906. We failed.
COACH YOST.
Can Michigan have Yost and go
back into the Conference? We sayr
yes.
Why? Because Coach Yost was em-
ployed first by Michigan when the fac-
ulty was in control. Coach Yost wasi
retained for eight years, until 1908,f
under faculty control.
But jealousy arising out of his sala-t
ry? Minnesota pays Coach Williamsc
and Chicago pays Coach Stagg, ast
large, if not larger salaries, , thanl
Coach Yost is getting. These men arec
appointed upon the recommendationr
COMMUNICATIONS
Editor, Michigan Daily:-
The little "boxed" notice which
graced the upper right-hand corner
of the Tuesday edition of The Michigan
Daily encourages me to contribute to
the general melee in which pro- and
anti-conference men are engaged. Tak-
ing for granted that Michigan does
actually stand opposed to eleven uni-
versities in this difficulty, it must be
remembered that it stands opposed to
them only in its athletic policy. No
one will deny that the athletic policy
of a university should be adapted to its
general policy if athletic activities are
not to detract from the effectiveness
of the university at large. If we re-
enter the Conference and confess.opr
sins, real or imagined, we openly
avow that the west and not the east
is our proper sphere. An attempt to
compromise with both will only result
in dissipation of energy.
No one will deny that Michigan is
"growing into" the east rather than
into the west. The number of students
from the east is constantly increasing
and more rapidly than the percentage
from the west. The records at the
office of the general alumni associa-
tion and at the university offices will
bear out this statement. The hun-
dreds of alumni which the university
is pouring into the east are all fight-

To be sure, the scrubs managed to
squeeze over a touchdown during the
scrimnmage, but it required about two
dczen downs inside the Varsity 15-
yard line for them to do it. When
Y-st.saw that the reserves were une-
qual to the task of making a score in
the due course of events he ordered
]Zeferee Schulz to stop counting downs
and yards to go and wait until some-
thing happened. it took a long while
but eventually Quail plunged over for
a score from the Varsity 10-yard mark.
Pontius, Lyons and Musser fairly
fed on the best kind of Syracuse shifts
which the scrubs served up to them,
and Hughitt, playing at a defensive
halfback, grabbed everything that got
away from the forwards. The old-
time shift, seen every time Syracuse,
has come to Ferry field, was the piece

the single exception of a 20-yard run'
by Roehm and the touchdown by
Quail, tho formatiens failed to yield-

Syracuse's appearance on the Ferry
field gridirdn is to be prefaced by a
mass meeting, to be held in Hill Au-
ditorium Friday night at 6:15 o'clock.
This early beginning is made neces-
sary because of a concert for the vis-.
iting pedagogues the same evening.
Arrangements for this second mass
meeting in the Hill auditorium are
well under way, with Walter Em-
coons, '14E, in general charge. It is
assured that the band will be there.
to help start the spirit bubbling, and
Earl Moore will be at the organ to
add to the musical end of the meeting.
It was found at the last mass meeting
that the students sang better with
some one to lead them, so "Eddie"
Kemp will be asked to be on hand.
'Hap" Haff will be the one looked to
for leading the cheers. Some member
of the faculty will be.asked to be pres-
ent, but to date no selection has been
made.
Slides, both humorous and other-
wise. will be thrown on the screen
from the camera of the ever-present
Lundy." All students with any ar-
tistic ability, or ambitions, are urged
to cooperate with Mr. Lyndon in mak-
ing new slides, as the ones now in use
are growing to be an old story with
the student body.

TO TRY NEW YELLS
AT SYRACUSE GAME
As a result of the competition for
new yells recently instituted by The
Michigan Daily, three new cheers have
been chosen and will be tried out for
the first time at the Syracuse game
mass meeting to be held in 1ill au-
ditorium Friday evening at 6:15
o'clock.
The committee of judges met yester-
day afternoon and after hearing dem-
onstrations of new yells by several
contestants, chose three. One yell
was written by C. H. Davis, 09, and
one by W. C. Achi, Jr., '14, a student
from llawaii. The latter yell is an
adaptation of a native Hawaiin battle
cry. The third yell is by an anony-
mous contributor.
'Ihe new yells will be thrown on
the screen by Lyndon at the mass
meeting Friday and Carroll B. Haftf,
\Va1rsity cheerleader will demonstrate
them.

(Editor's Note-In order to avoid any possible criticism which may
arise as to the non-partisanship of the answers given in this Question Box,

Pro-Conference side of the dispute. T he other answer will be given by an
