THE MICHIGAN DAILY DEFEAT LAID TO NMBEHRCUSES Yost Beaten by One Point for First Time In 24 Years of Coaching OTTPUNTING OF M.ICHIGAN ONE OF PRINCIPAL FACTORS (By Thornton Sargent) A missed goal after touchdown cost Michigan a tie decision in its most important game of the season, and for the first time In 24 years of his coaching Yost had a team beaten by such a narrow margin. Several breaks against Michigan and for Michigan went to make up this game, which to a certain extent illustrated two types of coaching. Of first importance was Frank Steketee's inability to start the game. If the Wolverine toe artist had been in shape, Michigan would not have been outkicked, and the play would have been nearer the center of the field and perhaps on Wolverine ground, where it would have been possible to open up more. Wieman's Injury Blow The most serious blow was the in- jury to Tad Wieman, whose knee was twice thrown out, so that he may not be in shape until the Ohio game. Even with Steketee out, the Michigan tackle could have done the punting in place of Dunn, who was going badly, and kicked the goal from touchdown. Considerable criticism of Yost has been heard because he failed'to send in a place kicker to make the needed goal. This is justified to some ex- tent but the coach cannot be held altogether to blame for Goebel had been practised at goal kicking, with Dunn holding the ball. Team Excited If the team had not been thrown out' of its head by the unexpected touchdown, Goebel would have been called to kick goal, and the ball would have been directed safely by Dunn, an expert in this line. As it developed, no member of the team was thinking sanely, and before bet- ter thought could prevail, the goal had been missed by Dunn with Per- rin holding the ball, neither of whom were practised in assuming their particular parts. Michigan's being outpunted was most probably the main reason for defeat. This factor in Illinois' favor let them have the ball, where they could open up, and they opened up with everything they had, while Mich- igan played mostly straight football. Despite 'their open and weird attack, the Indians could register only one counter against the alert Michigan defense, which played wonderful foot- ball. Tripping Unintentional Walquist's apparent tripping of Perrin was not intentional. As Jack headed down the field, Walquist cut over, and as he got near the Michi- gan back, he expected Perrin to cut back instead of going straight down the side line. To prevent Jack's sidestepping, Walquist threw himself back to block Perrin, but Jack was going so fast that only his feet caught him and tripped the Michigan runner. While a victory would have been more satisfactory, Michigan with the breaks against them can be well sat- isfied with the game. Illinois' much vaunted team was practically stop- ped, and Yost showed that he has developed a powerful aggregation. With all of Zuppke's wizardry and tricks, Michigan successfully stopped them at almost every point of the game. Illinois showed only sufficient strength to win by a narrow margin with two of Michigan's best men out. Their team was strong, undoubtedly the strongest in the Conference this year, and it was certainly no disgrace to be beaten by such a close score. FIV , OUT OF SIX HARRIERS PICKED As a result of the cross country trials held Saturday morning Coach Steve Farrell has selected five of the six men who will represent Michigan at Lafayette next Saturday when Wol- verine and Purdue harriers race over a five mile course. The five men who are assured of their positions on the team are Houfstater, Freeborn, Whit- temore, Standish, and Penberthy, and from four others the sixth man will be selected. These four are Chute,; Braman, VandeVisse, and Howard. They will cover the course sometime this week. Victory in Saturday morning's try- outs went to Leland, a freshman, who covered the course in fast time. Le- land shows great promise of future3 development and should be of great value to Coach Farrell in future years. Steve is well satisfied with the showing of the men. But one of those who will make the trip to Pur- due was on last year's team, and all of the new men showed decisively that they deserve their places.

INITIAL BA9SKETBALL DRILLHELD MONDAY Basketball practice has commenced. In response to Coach Mather's first call for candidates some 35 men re- ported for the first workout last eve- ning. Many more are expected to re- port in the course of the week. This number will be more than doubled in the opinion of the coach as soon as it is generally known that practice has begun in earnest. Practice Every Evening From now on there will be practice every evening at 7 o'clock and it is urged that all candidates report at once. Work is beginning this year earlier than ever before in order that Coach Mather may get a line on the material that he will have and also that he may have ample time to de- velop new men. Anyone who has play- ed the game at all is urged to report at Waterman gymnasium. Fortunately the coach will have more material to work with this year than last when he was called upon to develop practically all green men. Last year's freshman team will furn- ish a number of candidates who are sure to make strong bids for Varsity positions. In addition, the old squad is fairly well intact. Of course, a number of men are out for football at the present time but at the close of the gridiron season, these men will undoubtedly report to the basketball mentor. Will Drill in Rudiments Practice for some time will be de- voted to the fundamentals. Coach Mather is insistent that his squad will be thoroughly grounded in the' rudiments of the game. It is his in- tention that these preliminary fea- tures shall occupy most of the time for the first mouth. LAMBDA CHI ALPHA BEATS SIGMA NU, 19 TO 12, MONDAY Lambda Chi Alpha defeated Sigma Nu yesterday in the first of the inter- fraternity football contests by the score of 19 to 12. Ross, quarterback, and Willis, halfback, were the point getters for Lambda Chi while Pierce, end, and Wheeler, half, played well for Sigma Nu. An extra quarter was required to decide the game. Theta Chi was awarded a game by default when Theta Xi failed to ap- pear. The second and third days schedule for the interfraternity football games have been announced by the intramur- al department. On Tuesday at 3:45 o'clock Delta Tau Delta will meet Phi Delta Theta and the Nu Sigma Nu eleven will line up against the Theta Delta Chi warriors. On Wednesday afterneon beginning at the same hour as previous games, the Trigons will play Phi Kappa Sig- ma, Delta Chi will battle Sinfonia, and Alpha Delta Phi will try to de- fend its title won last year against Psi Upsilon. Class managers as soon as they are elected are requested to report to the intramural office and receive instruc- tions for the season. Class games will start the latter part of the week according to Assistant Director Fred Fletcher. Dr. Vaughana Leaves on N. Y. Visit Dr. Vaughan, dean of the Medical school, left Monday afternoon for New York City, where he will attend a meeting of the international health board, of which he is a member. He will return to Ann Arbor on Wednes- day. - t BEATH, '1E, WITHDRAWS NAME FROM FOOTBALL MANAGER RACE Editor, The Michigan Daily: I hereby withdraw my name from the nomination for football manager of the senior engineering class.
