II * etion !ichigan?. I i. vvrr vs i 'i "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."

The above excerpt was-printed as an ier editorial in the Tlganksgiving number' ay, othetYale Alumni Weekly. Practi- ek. t ally the same opinon was expressed .he by that paper after the Boston col- ha lege defeat, but adverse criticism ap- ay pearing in the Yale Daily News in the form of communications from the un- es dergraduates soon hushed this matter es up. With the season over, however, to and' every one searching for the cause to of the disastrous year on the gridiron, nit the Alumni Weekly again voiced its 'he opinion in the matter and this time it he seems to have found many followers se both among the graduates and stu- nd dents. IM 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.

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."
