GAME OF THIS SATURDAY TO
BE PEPPERY, SAYS THE MENTOR
Game of 10 Years Ago Crowded with
Fight from Beginning to
End
"Fur will be flying fast on Ferry
field next Saturday afternoon," smil-
ed "Hurry-Up" Yost yesterday when
asked his opinion of the coming con-
test with the Lansing aggregation.
"The toughest game that we ever'
had with M. A. C. was in 1908," he
continued. "In that affair Michigan
was terribly outplayed. It was some
game and was played in Lansing on
Saturday, Oct. 11. Two nights before
the fray thare were but nine men who
succeeded in passing the eligibility
committee. We were at our wits' end
as to how we could get a sufficient
number of men to make the trip.
Short of Men
"It was absolutely imperative that
we have 12 men. It took all of Fri-
day night and up to train time Sat-
urday to collect 12 semi-football play-
ers. At length we got the required
number and left for Lansing.
"The trouble started almost at the
whistle, when the Wolverines lost on
her own 20-yard line the ball they had
got on the kick off. Thes farmers'
quarterback found the weakness of
the varsity, pounding Exelby, the hus-
ky fullback, through the left wing
between tackle and guard ford a sub-
stantial gain of eight yards. On the
next play the Aggies made the first
down, and made a strike for goal from
field.
"From this point to the end of the
game the opposing team assumed the
aggressive almost without intermis-
sion. Only twice did the Maize and
Blue endanger the Lansing goal, but
they lost the ball on a fumble by
Benbrook, then right tackle, on a tac-
kle-around play and on an ill-placed
SOME GAME !!!
"If you want to see a fighting football game come out and watchr
the Wolverine-Aggie contest at Ferry field this Saturday."
That is what Coach Yost said last night about the biggest game to
be played in the month of October. The star contest of the month
will be one of the most interesting of the year, between the Univer-
sity of Michigan and the Michigan Agricultural college, two of the bit-
terest of state rivals.. Furthermore, the coach says that the Farmers
have one of the strongest teams in the history {of their school, this
season, and that it is going to take some work to win from them.
From the above, it can be readily seen that the clash between the
two rivals will be of the variety exhibited when Nebraska traveled
from their far western fortress to take Michigan into camp and claim
the championship of the west.
The Wolverine-Aggie game Is the only one of worth scheduled dur-
ing the month, according to the Michigan mentor, and it will be an
opportunity, not only to see a great football game, but to help keep the
record of the Maize and Blue spotless!
IT TAKES THE MEN BEHIND THE MEN BEHIND THE GUNS
TO MAKE A VICTORY POSSIBLE, AND THAT MEANS THAT MICH-
IGAN WILL HAVE TO GET BEHIND HER GRIDDERS, WILL
HAVE TO TURN OUT FULL FORCE AT THE GAME, AND YELL
FOR ALL YOU ARE WORTH.
we would score a touchdown the first
half and before Thanksgiving have
pushed the Germans under their own
goal-posts and eat that dinner in Ber-
lin. Of course, that it too much to ex-
pect but a quick victory seems assur-
red.
Veterans of Big Fight
Our regiment is gaining its valuable
rest and re-equipment in the billets.
We are also training several hours a
day. No one knows when we shall be
called upon to renter the battle again.
At least we now have the necessary
experience and the knowledge that we
can do as well as any American unit
and better than any German. We are
all anxious to get back for we know
that the more there are in the line the
quicker the advance and the surer and
sooner the victory. Until the day of
that victory, I expect to be well and
as happy as I am now,
Your son,
CECIL.

Varsity Has Edge
On FarmerEleven
The Wolverines have succeeded in
piling 368 points against the Farmers'
49 in the 13 contests played between
the two institutions.
The biggest drubbing that the Maize
and Blue ever gave M. A. C. was in
'1902, whentheyawalked away from
them by a score of 119 to 0. The
Farmer aggregation have succeeded
in winnig two games thus far. The
first contest to go to them !was in
1913 when the Maize and Blue lost by
a score of 12 to 7. The next killing
occurred two years later. That year
the final count was 24 to 0 in favor
of M. A. C.

"Michigan was terribly outclassed.
'he M. A. C. bunch placed the ball
wherever they wanted it, with the ex-
eption of behind the goal posts. They
lways attempted to kick a goal from
he 20 or 30-yard line instead of
reeping past the Wolverine defenses.
'he Lansing farmera almost broke
ny legs in that game running up and
down the side lines.
Players New at Game
"The Michigan eleven was a sad
sight that year. Many of the players
were new at the game and did not
inderstand the rudiments. of the
play. In fact several of the fellows
went into the fracas without know-
ng the signals. Only Allerdice, right
halfer, with his splendid kicking, and
he weakness of the M. A. C. punters
saved the Wolverines from the added
stigma of defeat.
"The Lansing farmers have had
some of the finest players ever seen
this year, and if things slip up next
Saturday, it will be a mighty hard
fight for Michigan. es, fur will be
flying, all right."
The second team of reserves willt
scrimmage the Ann Arbor high school1
football team this afternoon. Wordt
was received yesterday from the high1
school asking for a game of some sort
and it was decided to put the second
team of the scrub bunch against them
to make it a closer contest.
While the first team of reserves was
scrimmaging the varsity yesterday1
afternoon the second team had au
chance to have a little signal prac-
tice. There are several men on the
team who have not been out for foot-
ball before Monday and it was neces-
sary to teach them the signals be-
fore any progress could be made.
There is still a chance for men
with any high school football experi-
ence and any others aspiring to po-
sitions on the varsity to come out for
practice with the reserves. Several
men on the reserves will be transfer-
red to the varsity squad in the near
future and any new men would be
advanced as soon as they showed
promise. New men should report to
Coach Mitchell at 4:30 o'clock any
day.
WOMENS ATHLETICS-
BEGUN THIS W E E K
For 19 years Coach Yost has tutor-r
ed Michigan football elevens, workingt
with his entire soul throughout the
whole of the long seasons, never ceas-
ing, and has succeeded in turning outt
more winning gridiron teams in ,this
time than any one other mentor in1
the country. It has been his lot tot
receive many compliments, of all
kinds, and practically all of them oft
the highest quality, but, there have
been none that could compare with
the greatest of them all, one tenderedt
by Cecil F. Cross, '17, Varsity track
man, wearer of the Phi Beta Kappa'
key, and now a second lieutenant, 16th
field artillery, in France. .
Tribute of Yost
In a letter to his mother, published
below, Lieutenant Cross, speaking of
the autumn football weather, states it
to be his belief that if all the foot-
ball men in the army in France, were
to be gathered together, for the pur-
pose of making the final drive for
Berlin, it would only take one of Feild-
ing H. Yost's talks, the kind all his
teams receive before going into bat-
tle, to make that drive the shortest,
snappiest, variety possible. What a
compliment to the coach's ability to
instill the fighting never-say-die spirit
into men.
Although Cross never won his "M"
on the football field it was only be-
cause of the quantity of material out
in the fall of 1916. He continually
turned out in a suit and was on hand
before the games and betweenthalves,

charged from the Chanute flying field
Monday as the result of injuries re-
ceived in an automobile accident on
a gasolineless Sunday.
Westen had just been released from
a hospital Sunday and on Monday
was handed his discharge. He had
nearly completed the flying required
to receive a lieutenantcy. The re-
lease was the result of a joy ride par-
ticipated in by several aviation cadets'
last August. The party was held in
Decatur and the .students were about
to return to the camp, it being short-

were met in the town square by a
number of Decatur citizens who paint-

cadet to receive his discharge.
As he was captain and quarterback
of the Chanute field football team his
departure will be a great blow to that
organization.
