May II last. are still fresh In the minds
Of the public.
Concluding his duties at the city hall

he would be out Of the city on the fol-
lowing day, he slipped away 10 Wash
inston without causing the least suspi-
cion Of his intentions.

Old St. Pauls Church. in that city DIT.
Carter and Mr. McLane were personal
friends, but so secret were the prcpara-

land. Yet this kind of correspond
ence is now carried on throughout the
country.
"An athletic boy frequently writes
to half a dozen colleges and selects
the highest academic bidder. Every
college president receives letters
stating what inducements have been
offered elsewhere and demanding in
thinly yelled pharseology whether he
is prepared to outbid his rivals"
Professionalism Winked at.
Open charges of professionalism can
not be made against colleges, because
they cannot be proven. When asked
about certain paid members of teams
managers grow indignant, and then
wink.
Mr.. Eugene Stetson, for two years
manager of the Mercer University
football and baseball teams, stated
recently, that it was as impossible to
get disciplined team in a Southern
college without paying at least two
thirds of the men as it was to get to-
gether a professional baseball team.
The wholesale charge of professional
ism against Mercer some years ago
when that college won the baseball
championship of the Southern colleges,
almost caused the death of competitive
athletics at that institution.
Amateurisnl is mere form in mod
ern college athletics, and faculties may
or may not know that professionalism
exists in the various teams put out
by the college, but it is there, never
theless.

CAREER OF "HURRY UP" YOST
SUCCESSION OF TRIUMPHS
How Most Brilliant Of All Western Coaches
Achieved Success

Many football enthusiasts in the
East and South, as well as in the
West, have looked with wonderment
on the marvellous work of Hurry
Up" Harry Yost of the University of
Michigan football team.
Fielindg Harris Yost, a really Won
derful teacher of the gridiron game,
has thus far confined his operations
to the West, but next year, it is ru-
mored, he will have charge of a prom
inent Eastern team.
Six championship elevens in seven
years of coaching is the brilliant rec
ord of Hurry Up" Yost, so-called
because of the rapid style of play in
which he schools every squad under
his supervision.
The list of Yost's pennant winners
is:
1s9s-University of Nebraska, cham
pions of Trans Missouri Association.
1S99-Kansas University, champion
Of the Trans Missouri Association.
1900-Leland Stanford, champions Of
the Pacific coast.
1901-University of Michigan, cham
pions of the West.
1902-University of Michigan, cham
pions of the West.
1903-University of Michigan (con-
ceding shade better than Minnesota),
champions of the West.
Yost's football career was begun in
1894 at West Virginia University. He
played in 1895, and the following year
went to Lafayette, where he played
tackle next to the great Reinhart, who

AMATEURISM IN COLLEGE SPORTS
LOOKED ON AS A JOKE
College Teams Advance Professionalism as
Reason for Not Playing Savannah.

With the refusal of the athletic coun-
Gil of the Georgia School of Technology
and University of Georgia to allow the
football teams to engage in a game
with the Savannah team it is inter-
esting to note the strenuous efforts
that are apparently being made to
avoid all professionalism. Those who
really know of the situations laugh at
this. Amateurism has become as much
a joke in the South as it has in the
North.
One big university president has ex-
pressed himself in no uncertain terms
regarding modern college athletics.
He says: I'VE are living in a time
when college, athletics are honeycomb-
ed with falsehood, and when the pro-
fessions of amateurism are usually
hypocrisy. No college team ever meets

was guard on the team which beat
Pennsylvania to 4. In 1897 he be-
gan his first duties as coach at the
Ohio Wesleyan meeting with great
success. His next post was at Ne
braska
After turning out championship
team Of Cornhuskers he went to Kan
sas, and the following year. in 1899,
whipped his former cohorts with the
band of Jayhawkers.
Leland Stanford secured Yost for
1900 and he developed a team which
won the Pacific coast championship.
Professional coaches were dispensed
with that winter, and in 1901, Charles
Baird, athletic director at Michigan,
signed Yost. Since that time, and at
that place it has been that Hurry
Up has won his great renoWn.
Yost's first year at Michigan was
an epoch in Western football. The
team he developed scored a total of
$50 points, while it's own goal was
never even seriously threatened. Such
a record was unequaled in football an
nails. In 1902 he almost duplicated the
great showing for his men scored 644
points while opponents realized but
u.
At the outset last year it appeared
that Yost had the hardest task of his
career before him. Seven of his best
men of the previous year had gradu-
ated and left only four veterans as a
nucleus for a team. But nothwith-
standing the fact that odds were
against him, Hurry Up developed
an eleven which stood pre-eminent
in Western football, excepting alone
Williams men of Minnesota, who tied
the Wolverines by the score of ALL
