THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1921 Night Editor-HUGHSTON McBAIN Meeting of entire Daily Upper Staff at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon. FOOTBALL BLUES Once upon a time there was a football coach. For years he drilled championship teams, built up stone walls of brawn and offensives against which the best squads in the country could not stand for a mo- ment. He had a "hurry-up" record, and his name was lauded to the skies. But, after that coach had been putting his fol- lowers, through the victor's paces for some fifteen or twenty years, his success began to decrease sud- denly for a few seasons. He began- to lose games. Consequently, the old-time cheers and. applause gave way to groaning and complaint. Many said the coach was stale; many wanted to throw him out and to get a new man in his place. And the worst of it was that, although people talked for the most part among themselves and not openly, their muffled cries of "get the hook" usually reached a height at about the middle of the football season, just when the team most needed their support.' Finally, one student, more courageous than the rest and perhaps harboring more deep-seated con- victions that the day of the coach was done, aired his views in the columns of the college daily. There- upon did the reputed campus sentiment bid fair to find full expression and to bring disunion and con- sequent loss to the power behind the team, just at a time when the force of that power was most needed. The House of 'the University was being divided against itself. Such is the story of Coach Yost, past and pres- ent. In yesterday's issue of The Daily appeared a communication, purporting to voice a growing stu- dent sentiment, and announcing to the world that Coach Yost's time to retire from the gridiron has come. We do not pretend to claim that such an attitude may not have been gaining in power within the past few years. We do insist, however, that this is de- cidedly a most inopportune time to re-open the sub- ject. We are in the midst of a particularly worri- some season. With admittedly one of the hardest schedules on hand of any Conference university, we need all our energies to be exerted as a help, not a hindrance. Now is no time for grumbling and wearing of crape. It is a-time to boost as we have never boosted before in the history of Michigan football. We yet have a chance to finish high in this year's schedule, jf we will only keep our heads and push. Michigan has been known in the past for frequent come-backs against apparently insurmountable odds, and it is not inconceivable that she should finish this season with far more for which to credit than to blame her. Let us wait until the end of the sea- son. Then, when it is all over and done and when we can look back to it with some perspective through which to form real opinions, we will have planty of time to talk the thing over, pro and con. Meanwhile, some Michigan special trains will be leaving for Urbana at io o'clock tomorrow night. It is up to every Michigan man and woman who can spare the time and the money to raid the Corn Belt and holler his head off if necessary - for Michigan. MAKING IT EASIER FOR SANTA Santa Claus is perhaps the most stirring example of efficiency that has ever been known. Each year, on the night before Christmas, he sets out in his jin- gling sleigh, and before morning dawns he has en- compassed the world, depositing his gifts in the stockings of dreaming youngsters in every corner of the sphere. And with it all Santa maintains his good humor, and the last little urchin on the trip is as faithfully cared for as is the youthful inhabitant of the first chimney which Santa encounters. But imagine the fatigue of Santa's reindeer as he returns to the snowy lands after his mission of joy; imagine the strain that they are under, stopping and standing and starting in mid-air, not a hundred, but millions of times in one night. Have you ever thought of the handicap under which Santa must carry on after the first few hours? Being an ordi- nary human being, you have not. And neither have we. But it is otherwise with the officials of the state of Michigan. They have not forgotten their childhood - perhaps they still hang out their stockings - and they have lent their wits towards aiding that jolly old soul named St. Nicholas in any way which they might. Knowing that Santa absolutely refused some years ago to discard his reindeer sleigh for an au- tomobile, these Michigan officials have provided a herd of reindeer to be brought over from Norway and kept in the Lower Peninsula so that he can at least supply himself with a new team of steeds as he makes the strenuous round of the world. Ten bucks and fifty does, according to contract, will be here to greet Santa the Christmas after next, with a promise of more in the future. The state officials claim that they have taken the step in order to produce reindeer;meat in this coun- try, - a very diplomatic thing to say, - and we refuse to censure them for thus veiling their admir- able philanthropy. But we are sure that Santa Claus will not let such a praiseworthy action go un- rewarded, and are willing to wager 'a stick of bar- ber-pole candy that on the Christmas eves to come he will drop an extra bon bon into the stockings of the children of Michigan, and into the socks of the state officials. Said the Purdue Exponent editorially, "The Daily Iowan set a record for college publications when they put an extra on the streets, less than ten min- utes after the close of the game with Illinois last Saturday. The record will be hard to equal." We would respectfully call the attention of the Exponent to the fact that The Michigan Daily had an extra at the gates of Ferry field three minues after the Ohio State game last Saturday. The rec- ord will be hard to equal. Williams has awarded a varsity letter for golf. It looks like unjust discrimination against bridge players. Don't fail to be on hand to see the team off for Urbana! The Telescope Ode to a Boarding House Steak You look delicious on a platter, Large and juicy, sizzling too. But what do all your good looks matter - A hacksaw'd bust its teeth on you. I whet my knife, and start to stab, I work, and sweat, and try enough, I thwack, and hack, and whack, and jab, - 'Tis highest praise to call you tough. I try to chew you, but in vain, My heart like lead, my mouth so full, I try to dent you once, - again, - But you're hard-boiled, Oh Sitting Bull. Aye, let the enraptured poets sing, Yet, yet my faith in you abides, Who says the battleship's the thing? - Why, you're the real Old Ironsides! -Vee Dee. Michigan is down-hearted! There's no doubt about it. Just for example, since last Saturday our contributors haven't come across with anything, not even a snappy story for our private enjoyment. Snap out -of it, Contribs, and don't let one football game take all the fun out of life. Besides, we're going to win next Saturday. Quoth Eppie Taff: The boy stood on the burning deck, The flames were leaping 'round his neck, The boy stood there too long, by heck, And now the boy's a total wreck.
