AFTER BIC GAMES
NEXT YEARS SCHED-

GOphers and wolverines Likely to

Contests.


coaches for next year are the principal
topics of conversation among football
deyoteeS these days. Enough time ha4s
elapsed to thrash out most of the vexmg
questions of the past season, and, ali
though early in the game the athletic
authorities already are beginning to turn
their eyes and ears toward the coming
season.
Michigan is casting about for suitable
opponent for next years Thanksgiving
day game in Chicago. Three possible
candidates are already in the field, Min
nesota, Illinois and Iowa. Michigan has
shown no Indication of respecting Coach
Stages request to keep out of Chicago
on that day, the only possible alterna-
tive, according to Manager Baird, that
of game with Chicago, being impos-
sible owing to the existing contract pc
tween Chicago and Wisconsin. In fact,
Manager Baird made the statement hIn-
self some three years ago that Michigan
would play in Chicago turkey day under
airy circumstances.
That Baird will arrange the strongest
attraction possible to combat the WIS
: cousin Chicago game is certainty. For
1~this reason Iowa seems to be rather cut
of the running because of the game IasS
week, in which she suffered a crushing
defeat. Minnesota seems the most lil1ery
candidate for the game, but in case
Williams finds it impossible to adjust his
schedule Illinois will have the call. To
all appearances the teams will pair off as
follows next Thanksgiving day: chi
cago-W Wisconsin at Marshall field, Mica
tgan- Minnesota in Chicago, Northwest
ern-Nebraska at Lincoln, and Illinois
Iowa at Champaign.
Another game on the taps which is
more than likely to be realized is con-
test between Michigan and Wisconsin,
possibly in Chicago. If Stage maintains
relations with Pennsylvania it will be
the turn of the maroons to go to Phita-
deiphia. Upon the retirement of Wood
ruff, however, these relations, which
have been carried on since 1898, may
cease, in which event Chicago will play
in Chicago throughout the season, ana
the Badger Wolverine game will go 70
Detroit or Milwaukee. However, the
contest doubtless will be played, ana
reXt year will see an undiSputed cham
Pionship team.
But one radical change is contemplated
in the coaching systems of the colleges
fer next year. The retirement of PM
King at Wisconsin has made it impera-
tive for the Badgers to. devise TcW
p!an especially since Coach Booth, OF
Nebraska, has announced his determine
ton to remain with the cornhuskers an
other year Graduate coaching is coming
into favor at Madison, and with sucn
men as John Richards, Jerry Riordan,
Lon Chamberlain, Pat O'Dea. and Others
to call upon, the Eastern system should
prove a decided success at Wisconsin
Wandering Yost has at last decided
to settle down at Ann Arbor, an has
signed a three-year contract with sne
Wolverine management. This assures
Michigan's policy of coaching for that
length of time, and will do much to BRING
success out of the chaos which has pre-
dominated at Ann Arbor for the two
years previous to this fall. Yosts work
has been phenomenal He has mace
champions out of Ohio Wesleyan, Kan
sas. Nebraska, Stanford, and Michigan
in five years, a record which will stand
for some time to come. He has not al
ways had the best of facilities and ma
terial at his disposal, but this year gooo
men contributed largely in transferring
Michigan from last to first place amons
Western football colleges.
Stagg, Williams, Knipe, Booth, jamie
son, and Ballet and the two HOLSTERS
will doubtless remain with their re-
spective institutions another year. Norn-
ing has been said about a change or
coach at Illinois, but even if Holt leaves,
the Princeton system probably will be
retained.
