Speaks of Game To Come
The scribes expected to see Old Man
Yost blow off some sparks. He's never
been exactly famous for his grace as
a loser. They found him instead roll-
ing a well-chewed cigar around in his
lips and praising Chicago. "You
know," he said, "that Chicago team
played some pretty good football. Yes,
sir, they looked like a pretty good
team."
The scribes, more and more amazed,
went into Kipke's office. They ex-
pected to find letters and telegrams
from rabid alumni demanding Kipke's
blood and a complete new coaching
deal. They found the letters and tele-
grams all right. There must have been
at least 1,000 of them, with more
arriving all the time, but they were
messages of loyalty and encourag-'
ment.
"I thought I knew what the Mich-
igan spirit was," said the square-
jawed young coach, who was visibly
affected, "I knew it was loyal and
fine, but I'm afraid I really under-
estimated it. In one way these lickings
have been the greatest things in my
experience."

professionals rather than amateurs,
these two make their portrayals live
and breathe the air of disillusioned
incompatibility, so common to couples
engulfed in the quicksand struggle for
existence and happiness among the
slums of a metropolis.
