YOST DECLARES SPIRIT OF SERVICE MUST
REPLACE PRESENT GRANDSTAND ALLEGIANCE
Yesterday afternoon marked the close of the most unsuccessful football
season Michigan has experienced since the advent of Fielding H. Yost as
mentor.
Various reasons have been advanced during the disastrous season for the
failure of the team to make a creditable showing. "What is the matter
with Yost? What is the matter with the Athletic association? Why don't
more men try out for the team? Why do we send our injured athletes to
a harness shop inAtead of to a specialist?" These are some of the ques-
tions that have been uppermost in the minds of Michigan men everywhere.
Many of the rumors that have been circulating this year are groundless.
In order to sift out those which are without basis, and t start a move-
ment which t111 prevent a recurrence of the 1919 situation The Daily has
asked seven men prominent in athelitc circles for their opinion on the
athletic conditions. In doing this an attempt was made to obtain the un-
biased opinion of these men. None of the men interviewed was told what
the others had said.
Coach Yost Asks for Alumni Support
Fielding H. Yost has coached Michigan's gridiron men for 20 years. He
has turned out teams and developed the brand of football that has won
lHim thg reputation among sport critics of being one of the ablest mentors
in the country. In commenting onthe results of this season he said it
would be difficult to ppint to anyone thing that has been responsible for,
the poor showing the team has made. -
"There has not been the proper dffort exered by the alumni lit geeting
football men to come here. There should be a, greater campaign among
them, not only for the sake of athletics but for the benefit of the Univer-
city. The alumni, with the assistance of the students, should create a spir-
it in their respective communities that will ;arouse a desire in high school
men to come here. Every.Michigan man shotld make it a personal matter
to see every prospective high school athlete in his home district and talk
him into coming to Michigan.
3lust Develope Spirit of Service
"Then the spirit here at the University must be renovated. We have got'
to have'the spirit of service. By. this I mean that the students must sub-
merge their personal interests in the mass upon which an institution
builds its reputation. We must Have the willingness upon the part of the
men who make up the football team to work, not for one year, but for three
years to get a place on the squad. A winning team is not composed of men
who are novices at the game. It is composed of men who have learned to
play' by long, hard experience.
"There must be more of a willingness to serve manifested-the .willin -
ness to- take punishment, not for the benefit of any one individual but for
the benefit of the University. We are
lacking in the spirit that sends 75 Goetz Supports Yost

BLOCK "M AFUND
STILL LACKS $60
Subscriptions for the block "M"
flags up to Saturday night had totaled
only $240. -The extra $100 over the
amount secured at the mass meeting
Friday night was collected at the
game and at the movie Saturday
night. It is still necessary to collect
$60 in order to cover the expenses in-
curred by the committee in staging
the "M'. %
"I feel that the block "M" was a
great success and should be contin-
ued in the' future," was the opinion
of Carl Johnson, president of the
Student council, after yesterday's
game. He also stated that he felt
that great credit ought to be given
to Sphinx and Triangle and the other
men who assisted in the staging of
the "M".

Outplayed and outclassed in every
department of the game, Michigan was
crushed by the mighty eleven from
Minnesota, 34 to 7. Against the com-
plicated double shift that the Wil-
liams coached warriors used on of-
fense the Yostmien were helpless,
Michigan showed signs of power in
only one part of the galne, at the
start of the second half, when they
forced Lampi to punt after holding
the Minnesota backs for downs.
Mimnesota opened by rushing the
ball from the 30 yard line, wlIfre it
had been downed after the kickoff to
mid field, where Lampi got loose
through tackle and , went over on a
40 yard run for the first counter."Oss
was the major ground gainer in the
rush that took the ball back from
the kickoff to the Michigan one yard
mark, from which point Ruben smash-
"ed the line for the second touchdown.
Michigan was'unable to hold the Min-
nesota backs, who went around end
or through the line at will, all the
plays being started from the shift for-
mation that the Gophers had worked
to perfection.
Michigan Loses Chance
Michigan's only chance to score in
the first half was spoiled when the
backs were 'unable to penetrate the
Maroon and Gold line after Hugh
Wilson had recovered the ball fol-
lowing Arntson's fumble of Sparks'
kickoff. The strength of the Minne-
sota line was evident when it held
on the last down after Weston and
Knode had carried the 'ball nine
yards.
Minnesota lost a third chance to
count in the first half when Ruben
fumbled on the Michigan goal line,
and Michigan recovered. Sparks
punted on first dolvn from 10 yards
behind his own goal, and the ball
rolled over the Minnesota goal line.
Froemke Makes First Down
At the start of the second half
Michigan held the G6pher plunges,
and Froemke made the only Michigan
first down, but the Wolverines were
forced to kick when , Sparks was
thrown for an 8 yard loss. Minneso-
ta resumed the machine-like play of
