'YOST EXPLAINS !,
SATURDAY GAME.
Pennsy Refused to Play Accord.
ing to Rules and Michigan
Was Handicapped.
Journal Special Service.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 21.-Coach Yost said
Monday night, In discussing the Michigan Penn
sylvania game: I'm justice to Michigan and
the west, l may explain from our point of view
that just before the game I showed the officers
that Rule Is prevented Pennsylvania from using
Draper and Ziegler or any man on the line from
carrying the ball unless he was five yards back
King Kelly saw the point and telephoned it to
princeton for use In the Yale game. Then
pennsylvania bucked ON the rule and said she
would not play If the rule was observed The
officers therefore changed their minds and COM
PEELED Michigan to play against the rule or
forfeit the game. The result was that Penn
sylvania used players from the line and Michi
gan did not, believing them to be illegal. We
only used men from behind the line
mo wonder Pennsylvania's veterans pierced
this patched excuse Of line at will, but even
SO, Pennsylvania got her distance at critical
times only by inches, altho Michigan's general
ship was far below her normal standard. l
will cite two glazing instances. In the first
few minutes of play Garrels had an easy chance
at goal from the 30yard line, but plays per.
fectly senseless at that time were tried in
stead In the second half Michigan received
the kickoff instead of kicking. That blundeI
actually made cry, for it gave easy six
points to Pennsylvania. ia
The east may say that the west does not
know how to play football, but we hope to win.

BADGERS AGAIN -.
WITHOUT A COACH
DR.. Hutchins Has Resigned as
Football Instructor at Wis
consin University.
Journal Special Service,


Chicago, Nov. 21.-Dr. c. H. Hutchns, who
coached the football squad at Wisconsin this
season, has decided not to undertake that work
another year, and the badger authorities are
again on the lookout for candidates.
The reason given by DR.. Hutchins for desiring
to retire from the duties of football coach are
that his work as head Of the physical training
department of the university is too heavy. He
says he cannot do justice to either his work as
coach or In the gymnasium when the work of
both departments falls on him.
This Is DR.. Hutchins' first year at Madison

ated from Williams college in 1884.

PENN SAYS RULE

Looks as Tho Coach Yost Had
Made Misinterpretation
of the Code.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
Philadelphia, Nov. 21.-Coach Torrey of Penn.
sylyania denies emphatic the contention OF
Coach Yost of Michigan that Pennsylvania had
used tackles back or other illegal formation
against Michigan on Saturday, when Draper, a
tackle. and Ziegler, guard, were used to carry
the ball. DR.. Torrey said
1.-The play to which Yost objected was that
In which, after the ball is put in play, it is
passed to a guard tackle to carry forward.
inns Is neither guards back a tackles
PACK. because the linemen remain in their posi-
lions until after the ball is put in play. The
new rules provide that if lineman is brought
out OF the line of scrimmage to handle the
ball he must be brought back five yards and
another man take his place in the line. But
in the play which Pennsylvania used every man
Is IN MS place when the bail is snapped. and
us long as man merely runs from his position,
dis IN the Old days. the play is legal.
MIR. fost here and saw the play used
IN the Swarthmore and Lafayette games. He
and talked then over various matters which
needed settlement before the game, and we
came to an agreement on all of them, but moth
ing was said about this point until just before
Saturdays game r-.---.
Everybody here gives Yost credit for picking
out nav in the new rules which has escaped
tEe attention of everybody in the east. 1t is
hkelE pennsylvania will bring the matter to the
attention of the rulesa committee and ask an
official Interpretation of it.
NOTE-The disputed rule reads as follows:
NO player of those ordinarily occupying the
position of center, guard tackle--that is the
nVe middle players of the line-nay drop back
from the line Of scrimmage the offense unless
ne Is at least five yards back of the line of
scr1mmage when the ball is put in play and
another player of those ordinarily behind the
line OF scrimmage takes his place the line
of scrimmage.'
Coach Yost is evidently wrong in his cot
tention There is nothing in this rule to pre-
vent guards or tackles from leaving their posi-
ton to carry the ball so long as they are OF,
the line of scrimmage in legal manner when
the ball is snapped. If Pennsylvania resorted
TO pulling back guards tackles before the
ball was snapped, the rules were violated. If
the guard and tackle jumped out. took the bail
from the quarter after the pass and plunged in
! again, Penn did not violate the rule in any
way. If Mr.. Iost failed TO take advantage OF
this style of play he has overlooked a chance
to better his offense and is the victim Of his
own mistake
