eral Thinks Yost Was Handicapped
late In connection with the football sit-
or- uation this fall, r'each said that he
en- thought the criticisms ,of Coach Yost
.me. had been uhfair. "I don't think any
to one is a better qualified coach,' he
five said, "than Coach Yost, and the poor
able showing we have made is not due to
was any lack of effort or ability on his
that part. Theme were not enough experi-
Val- enced men available.
t fit 'Another thing that has hanicapped
the the coach is that he has- had to look
after a great many details;, such as
keeping the crowd out of the field dur-
ing practice, going after the footballs
o a he wanted, and various other little
for things when he should have been free
co'I-
to attend to his coaching work."

elation was blamed for this, What
can we do to keep men off the ineligi-
bility list?, Only two things. First
we can endeavor to 'aid tem, through
tutors, to keep their work up, and
second we can urge them to Work
hard. Anyone who has been around
this office knows that I have done all
I could possibly do in encouraging the.
men t4 keep up with their work.
"In regard to' supplying the men
with tutors, it has been asked why we
have not organized some sort of a
committee composed of students who
are masters of their subjects and who.
would be willing to help a man out
if he experienced some difficulty with
a course.
Favors Tutoring Plan
"This is a fine plan, and I have or-
ganized three such committees dur-
ing the time that I have been here.
Each one of them worked out all right
during the football season when there
was lots of interest, anil lots of pep.
Along in the winter and spring,
though, when football was rather a
remote subject, these committeemen
were rather inclined -to let someone
else do It, or they said they were too
busy with their own work to give
some man a lift. To be eligible for
tivities, a man must keep his work
up the year around.
Tries to Get Standings
"It has also been stated that. we
do not attempt to find"out how the
men are geting along at different in-
tervals during the season. This is
not so. We do send over to get re-
ports on the men at mid-semester,
and more often if there is any,
doubt about a man. The adni'inistra-
tive offices have given pus all the sup-
port we could ask, but there are some
instructors and professors who feel.
that it. is ndt incumbent upon them
to give out reports upon a request
from the dean's office. Of course I
realize that it is difficult in some
classes to tell' what a man is doing
until the end of the semester." To
substantiate thiststatement, Mr. aBr-
telme prodfimced the requests for re-
,ports which were made during last
April. Some of these reports were
complete, others contained , informa-
tion on only Dart of a man's work.'
When asked how other. schools suc-
ceeded in getting men eligible dur-'
ing the football season, Mr. Bartelme
said it was most likely due to a dif-
ferent system of conductingg the
"I understand there has been criti-
cism because we only charged $1 for
the Ohio State game when we might
have charged $2, in view of our pres-
ent financial depression. This is the
first time the Ohio game has been
much of a drawing card, and it was
only due to their stellar team that
this was so this year. Last sum-
mer when we drew up the agree-
ments, there was no reason to be-
lieve that we would have such a big
attendance at the game this fall. As
a matter of fact, there were but 3,900
tickets, aside from those of the stu-
dents, requested on the Sunday pre-.
ceding the game. During that week
orders were received and filled for
10,000 tickets.
"In. regard to the shortage of
equipment. We have more equipment
on hand this year than we have had
any other-season, excepting 1915. We
ordered jerseys, socks and shoes "n
June, another order for 48 pairs of
shoes was sent in during July. We
did not get these things until after
practice had started, and then the or-
ders were only partially filled. There
has been a general shortage of ath-
letic equipment 'this year, but I can
say that we have made every effort
to get it, and -any serious shortage
that has occurred has been of short
duration. We haven't an efficient sys-
tem of 'handling equipment here, but
that will be remedied next year.
1 "There have been numerous injuries
to the players this year, but anyone
who has followed football for a num-
ber of years, knows that invariably
some years are much worse in this
respe'ct than others. Then, too, due
to the abolition of the training ta-
ble, the trainer only sees the men
while they are on the field. He does
not know Nhat the men are eating,
or whether the pod is agreeing with
them. This hasa great deal to do
with the physical condition of the
men.
Defends Block "3" Stand
"I thing the .block 'M' proposition
caused a great deal of unwarranted
criticism. My only reason for deciding
not to have it this year was that iT
felt that the students did not care
enough about it. I based my assump-
tion upon the difficulty that has been
experienced in getting enough men
to fill that section. , It requires 1914
people to form this letter. This year
but 1,440 - signified their willingness
to sit in the north stand. The same

Answers Letters
MI. Bartelme was asked if he
thought the Athletic association was,
doing all it could to interest high
school athletes in coming to Michi-
gan. "We are doing all we can along
this line," he said. "Of course there
is a conference ruling which prohib-
its a director of the Athletic associa-
tion fron. inviting correspondence
with these. people or securing em-
ployment fir them. However, when
a man wrftes to me regarding the pos-
sibility of securing employment which
will enable him to' defray part of his
expenses while in school, I make it a
point to answer the letter and ac-
quaint the man with the conditions
in Ann Arbor. Then I refer him to
Homer Heath at the Union and the
Y. M. C. A. secretary, ,who conducts
clearing houses for student employ-
ment.
"There are some letters I do not
answer. When a man writes to me
and' virtually asks how much the,
University will pay him to come here
and play football, I ignore the letter
because we do not want that type ;of
man.
Books Open to Inspection
"The Athletic/ association has also
been charged through communications
appearing in The Daily of being rath-
er obscure in their financial dealings.
I wish to say right now that the
books of the association are, open to
anyone who wishes to Inspect them
at any time.-
"Some people do not know that the
Athletic association had a debt of
$42,000 on hand 'at the beginning of
this season. This deficit started in
1914 when we built the south stand
on Ferry field, which cost $85,000. At
that time we had $35,000 on hand.
This left us a debt of $55,000. Then
intercollegiate athletics were abol-
ished inthe' spring of 1917, and were
not re-established' until the fall of
1918.a
"Last year was a poor year for the
association financially. We hadi but
one big game, the Chicago game, and
that netted _$2,000. The fact th~at our
athletics 'are self' supporting must al-
so be considered. Moreover, football
is the only sport that is remunera-
tive. Baseball does not bring in any
revenue from the outside, neither does
track or basketball, and each one of
these sports require a substantial
outlay of money each year.
"These are a few reasons why we
haven't a larger coaehing staff, more
club houses for the players, and more'
help in the o'ffict , which has been
shorthanded for the past three years.
11:50 a. m.-Guild Class
trouble has been exeprienced in the
past years. Three years ago we re-
duced the size of the letter am~d still
we have' trouble in filling, it."
.Alumni Wilting to Help
When asked whether he felt thai
the alumni were according us the
proper' support, Mr. Bartelme stated
that he thinks they are willing to do
all they can to help the University,
but that there are too many of the
older men who do not realize that
times have changed. "It used to be
that Michigan attracted men pere by
virtue of the reputation it 'had ac-
quired. Now other schools are in the
,Mmpetition for good men, and what
the alumni need to. do is to developi
the Michigan spirit in their localities
so that high school men will be in-
terested in coming here.
Explains New Coaching Plan,
Mr. Bartelme also explained the
policy adopted in regard to the coach-
ing staff. "It was decided to discon-
tinue securihg seasonal subordinate
coaches and install all-year men. This
necessitates a man we employ as a
coach being an all round athlete. I
think Mr. Lundgren will develop in-
to a first class football coach. He
has been away from the game for 12
or 15 years and it takes time for'even
the best qualified man to get back in
harness.
"There have also been several rum-
ors afloat this year concerning the
way the association has treated in-
jured players. There has been talk
about sending men to a harness shop,
and not providing proper protection
for men who have injured limbs. If
you will go to Peach, who is the man
involved in the harness shop deal, he
will give you the facts.
"As -for 'the association not taking-
care of injured players, I think you
will find that Harold Rye, who was
injured in the 0'. S. U. game, is re-
ceiving thebest attention and care'
Anyone injured while participating in
University athletic contests will re-
ceive all the necessary medical at-
tention, and if he is not satisfied with
