"The old traditional hammer and
tongs football,. in which Yale's name
was paramount on the gridiron for
generations of Eli players, has gone
by the boards, not to return. Open
play, represented by the forward
pass, is the new order of things on
the football field and Yale must ac-
cept the change, however difficult it
is for her mentors who have been
brought up on the old system. Yale
has learned this lesson, we hope.
"The Yale team, up to the limit of
its knowledge and preparation for
emergencies, conducted itself on the
finest of traditional, athletic models.
There was no falling off in its fight-
ing spirit, nor in its undergraduate
backing. The team deserved a bet-
ter record than its opponents permit-
ted it to make. We offer our congrat-
ulations to both Princeton and Har-
vard and propose a better seaiwn next
year for Yale."

Editor Michigan Daily:-7
Dear' Sir-As an alumnus of the
University of Michigan who is desir-
ous of having Michigan retain its here-
tofore supremacy of the West, I en-1
close an article which appeared in theE
Yale Alumni Weekly, with the re-,
quest that you publish same with the
caption, Doesn't Yale's Shoe Fit Mich-
igan?
It appears to me that, the popular
sportaof passing the buck is gaining
popularity in Michigan football cir-
cles. The Athletic association through
P. G. Bartelme has more or less shown
that it was not the cause of this Year's
cataistrophe. Yost in a number of ar-
ticles has more or less demonstrated
that he is not personally at fault. By
the simple 'method of elimination -we
arrive at the answer that the trouble
lies either with the faculty or with
the students and alumni. The faculty
with the customary flourishes relin-
quishes all claim to responsibility'for
ineligibility, The alumni maintain
that they have been doing all in their
power to induce prospective athletes
to choose Michigan for their col-
1e4Iate work. That leaves the, stu-
dents to shoulder the blame. I per-,
sonally do not believe that the stu-
dents are at fault. It appears to me
that Michigan has been slowly falter-
ing by the wayside. As expressed in
the article, the old traditional hammer
and tongs football has gone by the
boards.
I' feel that now Is the time to get
at this matter and ferret out the. cause
of Michigan's downfall. This year's
team fought l1ke any other Michigan
team, every man in every play, regard-
less of personal injuries. However, no
sane man could overlook the fact that
our team has been lacking in knowl-
edge of, the newer type of football--
forward passes, shift plays, end runs
-and it is only with the aid of these
that the opposing teams have been
able to conquer the team representing
our own Alma Mater. Here's hoping
that those who actually determine
Michigan's athletic policy, will take
the necessary steps to provide the
means 'and facilities for Michigan re-
gaining her former western football
supremacy.

Under the honor point system every
girl in the University Interested in
athletics has the opportunity of win-
ning a Michigan insignia. The Wom-
en's Athletic association under this
system 'offers three different types of
insignia for the accumulation of dif-
ferent numbers - of athletic honors.
These honors may be kwon In various
ways, all athletic work outside of the
required gymnasium course receiving
a stated number, of points. For the
accumulation of 30 honors a girl re-
ceives a sleeveband with insignia, for
60, a silver pin -with insignia, and for
100 of these points a sweater with in-
signma.
Many Opportunities
There are so many different ways
in which points may be acquired that
a girl may follow,; her. own particular
taste in selecting the way in which to
win them. Thus a girl who is inter-
ested In hockey may accumulate many
of them through this sport. A definite
number of points are given for hours
spent in skating, skiing, tennis and
walking, and membership on all class
teams- Is rewarded. in this manner.
Points are also given for the keep-
ing of"'a hygiene schedule. This is a
card prescribing a certain number of
hours' sleep, and other definite rules
for health. When a girl has lived in
accord with its requirements for 28
days she receives an hopor point.
Creates Interest in Sports
In these and many other ways points
may be accumulated. The purpose of
the system is obvious. It encourages
girls to participate in many athletics
outside of their required gymnasium
work, and promotes a spirit of friend-
ly rivalry among them. Dorothy
Jonds, '20, has charge of the honor
point system, and says "The Athleti
association is enthusiastic about th
plan of interesting the girls in athlet-
ics."
