YOsT ADMITS THAT
HE'S IN THE AIR
New Football Rules Worry Head
of Michigan's Gridiron
Department.
Special to The Journal.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Sept: 1.-:Nearly
everybody has been up in the air since
the thinkers with the rules got thru
with their job. Even Yost has been
wandering down the "give -it-up' side
OF the puzzle alley.
will be the "ten yards.' "forward
the "time-out' regulation is one that
Yost says will help the interests Of the
game, and which he asserts is one Of
the best bits of legislation that the
rules committee enacted. Yost has al
ways been a great sticker for fast
plays. and 50 is Fitzpatrick, who could
condition the men for the whoop-it-up,
whirlwind, point-a-moment play.
You we seen men on q team that is
being rushed off it's feet lay down and
pretend to be injured, so that they can
get rest,' said Yost. "Well, they
won't be able to fake it much under
the new rules. These fellows that lay
down make the spectators think that
they are badly hurt, and then some
to knock on the game.
81 look for many surprises during
the early part Of the season, as one
team will have systems and plays that
their opponents never dreamed Of. The
game has been so radically changed
that it will take time to develop the
defense to stop these new end run g..
Of the side kicking the ball may grab
it after it has touched the ground,
it means that those low, straight balls
Just over the rush line will be used,
and the defense will necessarily be
obliged to draw some Of their men
back Of the line. This will weaken
the defenders line, and it will give
the line for those ten yards.'
1t is easily to be inferred from the
remarks let drop by Yost that he must
and will have fast running team.
With only Captain Curtis, Graham, Pat
rick, Garrels and possibly Harry Ham
mond as "M'' men to start with, and
the fact that all Of these men are line
m IN, Yost will be up against the prop
backfeld. And this backfeld must
have wings on their feet if they want
to come up to the Yost muster.
The coach connot look for any ma
terial among the incoming class to help
him out this fall, as the "big nine''
bar freshmen. He must rely on last
years substitute and the 1905 "all-
fresh players. Magoffn, Workman
and KAMA, were substitutes of last
year and schenk, ,Witmire and Lowell
These are six remarkably fast men and
"hurry-up' ought to find pretty fair
quartette Of backfeld men out Of this
half Dozen
Manager Baird is still quiet about
! the schedule, and it is not likely that
anything will be done about it until
college opens. Pennsylvania is Ger.
tain. Illinois and Ohio State and Case
are more than likely. Vanderbilt is
probable. And that will Just clean IN
the limit of five games which the BIZ
nine places on the schedule this year.
