YosT GIVES THE REASON.
Declares That Nfichigan's Opponents
Used Illegal Plays.


Ann Arbor. Mich, Nov. 2s.-Coach
Yost said in discussing the Michigan
Pennsylvania game: sIn Justice to
Michigan and the west, I may explain
from our point of view that just be-
fore the game I showed the officers
that rule Is prevented Pennsylvania
from using Draper and Zeigler, or any
man on the line from carrying the ball
unless he was five yards back. King
Kelly saw the point and teleph oned it
to Princeton for use in the Yale game.
Then Penn baked and said it would
not play If that rule were observed. The
officials therefore changed their minds
and compelled Michigan to play against
the rule or forfeit the game. The re-
suit was that Pennsylvania used play
ers from the line and Michigan did not,
believing the play to be Illegal. We
only used men from behind the line.
mo wonder Pennsylvania veterans
pierced this patched excuse of a line
at VIII. but, even so. Pennsylvania got
it's distance at critical times only by
inches, although Michigan's general
ship was far below its normal standard.
| will cite two glaring instances. In
the first few minutes of play Garrels
had an easy chance at a goal from the
thirty yard line, but plays perfectly
senseless al that time were tried in
stead.
IN the second half Michigan received
the kickoff instead of kicking. That
blunder actually made me cry for 1t

vania. ia

hope to vindicate ourselves next year.

year than any team in the country

Hutchinson's Exchange and
Commercial Club Wake Up.

Hutchinson, Kan, Nov. 2S.-The
Independent says:
There is a persistent report on the
streets that the Hutchinson packing
house IS to be closed. Several of the
high officials of the National Packing
company, which owns the Hutchinson
plant, were here last week. looking
over the situation They returned to
Cnlcago on Saturday night, to report
20 the management what should be
done. It is claimed that the packing
mousse as now conducted is not a
money maker. but that it is in reality
money loser. The statement is made
that the company must either close up
this plant or make it larger The size
OF the plant is not large enough so
that the product can be handled
economically. The number of animals
slauentered could be doubled without
greatly increasing the operating ex-
pense, and this would greatly reduce
the cost per animal for handling and
placing the product on the market
Down at Wichita John Cudahy has
closed his plant and wants to get out
or the business. to retire. He is will
ing to close out his building and such
equipment as there is there al a low
price. It is said that overtures have
been made looking to the moving OF
the Hutchinson institution to Wichita
and installing the equipment in the
Cudahy plant there. It is reported that
wichita stands ready to plank down
$4,000 to secure the removal of the
Hutchinson packing house to that city
The company would then enlarge the
plant to perhaps double its size.
The Hutchinson Live Stock ex-
change has appointed a committee
which will meet with a committee of
the Commercial club and talk the
proposition over. A prompt effort will
be made to keep the packing company
here and to get them to double the ca
pacity of the plant. In the meantime
Hutchinson may as well wake up to
the fact that she is in danger of losing
one Of her best Institutions.
