LeFevre, Har- old It. Smith Assistants-Donald C. Bromley, James Robertson, Harry D. Hause, L. A. Storrer, Lambert Hirscheimer THE FIRST REAL TEST Today's game with M. A. C. mark- ed the first real test of Michigan's 1917 football team. There can be no doubt that the Maize and Blue met a worthy oppon- ent, one always to be feared. For the past five years the Lansing school has made Yost show nearly everything he has had. On two occasions since 1912 Michigan has been beaten, once by the convincing score of 24-0. Michigan's team for the remainder of the present season will be almost decided upon the showing the men have made on Ferry field this after- noon. And Michigan's strength for the balance of the season can easily be measured by the strength she ex- hibited upon the gridiron today. Whether the Aggies display strength early in the year or not, they can al- ways be depended upon to do their level best when meeting Michigan. Anyway it was a good game. Didja have your girl there? It is rumored that the Aggies might have looked better with Julian, the Millers, DePrato, and Smith scatter- ed around in their lineup. Those geutlemen from Lansing al- ways could put up a fight when play- ing Michigan. BACKS WORRYYOST FROMEARLY START First Shake-up Places Tad Wieman, Herculean Tackle, in Full- back Position WARTIME ELEVEN EQUALS LAST YEAR'S TEAM SAYS DOUGLAS Varsity Defeats Detroiters in Hard Fought Contest by Score of 14 to 3 (By M. G. ledi) Michigan rooters were given their first taste of sport dope concerning the Varsity this fall, when Coach Fielding H. Yost made the statement, "Backs my worry." From the first practice up to the present time, Yost has shifted the players promiscuously in the hope of discovering prospects for his back trio. The first shake-up struck Tad Wieman, the herculean tackle, who was placed in fullback position, his power and driving force offsetting the lightness of the other backs. Of the other three "M" men, Sparks, the winged-foot quarterback, was al- lowed to hold down his own position, while Weske was sent to tackle, and Boyd made to see service at guard and tackle. Wartime Eleven Equals '16 Squad On the Friday night before the clash with the Case school warriors, Coach Prentiss H. Douglas annihilated the pessimistic germs of some of the Michigan rooters, when he said that the "Wartime eleven equals the '16 squad." To substantiate this state- ment the Varsity on Saturday wallop- ed Case 41 to 0. This victory, how- ever, did not defer Yost from making other shake-ups in the line and back- field, to remedy the ragged defense of the ends and backs, and also to better the aggressiveness of the line. Wednesday the Kazoo gridders in- vaded Ferry field and threw a scare into the bleachers at the first, but the final score 14 to 3 in favor of Mich- igan was sufficient compensation for missed heart beats. This game show- ed , an improved defensive backfield and flankers, though the line was a little loose at times. The backs still fell short of the Coach's ideal of ground gainers. Pummel Oloioans in 61 to 0 Count In the Mount Union clash a new Varsity administered a decisive lick- ing to the Ohioians, the final count be- ing 61 to 0. This time the backs pierced the line and skirted the ends for big gains. The open play work of the opponents was terribly molest- ed by Michigan ends and backs, while the linemen plowed through the op- posing force at will, stopping the run- ners in their tracks. The biggest shake-up of the season occurred the Thursday of the Detroit battle. Seven players were shifted in- to new positions and the remodeled Varsity scalped the Detroiters by a 14 to 3 score. This game was a battle royal from the start to finish, and gave the rooters more excitement than was expected. The defensive work of the team was extraordinary good, while the offensive was aggressive and sharp. Forward passing proved successful in two of the four attempts, netting long gains. The line in the fourth quarter took a stonewall appearance, when the opposing backs flung them- selves at it four times, gaining but three yards. With four victories to her credit thus far, the Varsity enter- ed the field this afternoon confident that it would force the M. A. C. pig- skin chasers to bite the dust. COACH FEILDING H. YOST YOST WINS HURRY UP" TITLE AL LAYETT FOOTBALL MENTOR BRINGS 111E BACON TO SIX COLLEGES IN 19 YEARS (By James I. McAlpine) Fielding H. Yost, commonly known as "Hurry Up" Yost, one of the most popular coaches of the West, and teacher of Michigan's elevens since 1901, has had 19 years of experience in making football history. His scope of work has included Ohio Wesleyan, Lafayette, Nebraska, Kansas, Stanford and Michigan. Yost first played college football in Ohio Wesleyan, but did not earn his name of "Hurry Up" until later, when he played tackle with the Lafayette team. In 1896, Yost's last year, this team won the championship of the country by romping away with a vic- tory over Pennsylvania, the score be- ing 6-4. The football mentor then wentto Ohio Wesleyan to coach, and easily turned out a team that brought home the championship of Ohio. Yost Wins Title of West for Kansas In 1898, Yost coached Nebraska, and the next year returned to Kansas, winning the title of the West from Nebraska by a score of 36-20. After this season, Leland Stanford univer- sity called, and in 1900, "Hurry Up" gave that school a team which won the championship of the Pacific coast from California by a score of 5-0. Following this year at California, Yost came'to Michigan, where he has kept his record of producing fast teams. His team of 1901 to 1904 scored enough points to win the name of the "point-a-minute" elevens. In these four years, Michigan won 43 games, tied one, and lost none. This was the time of Willie Heston. Yost's contract was made in 1911, and was originally intended for the seasons of 1912 and 1913. It has since been extended so that it will continue until one party notifies the other of its revocation, giving at least 30 days notice. It is reported that Yost has often stated he would be through with football when he left Michigan. Indians Give Special Short Course At Indiana a special short course will be offered to drafted men who have not yet been called. Favored Freshman FanciesFootball Yearling Enthusiast Yearns to See Gridiron Battles on Ferry Field (By Mark H. Ehlbert) He was quite a Football Fan. For years he had Attended every Contest between the Gridiron Ginks and the Goal Grabbers. His Knowledge of the Game was greater than that of many older Football Fiends. And he was only a Freshman at that. When he arrived at the Doors of Ann Arbor's Seat of Learning he had decided to be Present at every Ferry Field Fight. He soon found that the Prerequisite to Admittance was a small Volume known as an Athletic Coupon Book. Now to Obtain one of these useful Articles, thought the Em- bryo Enthusiast. It so Happened that his Knowledge of Ann Arbor Customs was not as great as his Familiarity with the Out- door Sport. Accordingly he must Seek Information. And who could Advise him better than the Erudite Senior on the Floor below? So to the Scholarly Upperclassman he turned his Steps. After a few moments of Feet-Shift- ing, Cap-Twisting, Lip-Moistening and other Forms of Physical Agony, he Ventured to Articulate: "How do I Get one of those Athletid Books?" And after a short Period of Medita- tion, the Obliging Senior spoke. "Have you any Pull on the Cam- pus?" Inquired he. "Yes, I Know Coach Yost," Replied the Innocent Enjoyer of Football Games. "Well, that may Help some," Said the Senior Meditatively. "You Go and Get a Letter from him and then Go over to Huston's. Tell the Manager what you Want and that you have a Letter from Coach Yost. He ought to Let you Have a Book for Nothing." And he Departed on his way Rejoic- ing that he had some Pull. "Thank you so much, Sir, I'll do that. I'm ever so much Obliged to you,"-in Tones of Deepest Gratitude. Moral: Coach Yost is Busy once in a While. EVE'S PROTEGES RICK MEN OFF CHEER LINE AT IOWA Iowa sprang an innovation in the rooting line at the Nebraska-Iowa foot ball game last Saturday, when three women led theecheering. The idea worked well even though Iowa was beaten by a large score. The women cheerleaders brought cheers from men who were never known to root for foot ball before.

Baseball was the first sport intro- duced. The game was then in its in- fancy, being played only by a few clubs in the vicinity of New York. A few men interested wrote to one of the clubs and obtained a description of the game. A diamond wN*s laid out north of the old Medical building, bats and balls bought, and Michigan was a contender for the championship of the west. Emory L. Grant, of Ken- osha, Wis., captained the first regular Varsity nine, organized in 1865-1866. Football came about a decade later, being played at that time with a round rubber ball and with teams of 15 men on each side. Benjamin T. Cable of Illinois, a short time after returned from a trip to Germany, bringing back with him a leather covered ball. Since 1900 Michigan's football rec- ord has been brighter than that of any other American university, due largely to the coaching of Fielding H. Yost, wha has had a uniformly good team every year. Yale to Get French "15's" Yale is to have four of the French "75's" for purposes of instruction in their military camp. No Drill, No Football Men who do not take up military training at Yale this year will not be allowed to play football.
