OVER OUTLOOK
MICHIGAN COACH INTENDS TO
GET REVENGE ON EAST FOR
BEATING LAST YEAR.
HE HAS SOME FINE MATERIAL

Is Gonfident of Victory-Three I'm
portant Gridiron Contests to, Be
Waged This Fall by Which ReIa-
tive Strength of Eastern and West
ern Teams May Be Gagged.
With three important football con-
tests between the east and west this
fall more than have been played be
fore, patrons of the game are won
dering what the result viii be. Last
season the much -heralded Michigan
eleven proved to be no match for
Pennsylvania, and the Carlisle In,
dians had little else than a war dance
to lower the colors of Minnesota.
Those games gave the impression
that the teams on the other side OF
the Alleghenies outc:assed those on
this side, but the western coaches
now believe they can turn the tables
and prove their claims Those OF the
big university elevens in the east are
going into the trays with confidence
kindled by victory. The outcome will
settle the much disputed question of
superiority.
Pennsylvania goes to Ann Arbor on
November 16 to play Michigan, and
on the same day tho Indians will face
Minnesota in Minneapolis. A week
later the Indians Will be in Chi
cago. Through Pennsy's and the
Redskins battles a good line can be
drawn on the merits of the sectional
teams.
Before those games Penn will have
met Brown, which has games With
Yale and Harvard and the Quakers
will also have played Villa Nova,
which faces Princeton. The indians
will have met both Princeton and
Harvard, and also have tackled Penn
sylvania. In the west Chicago will
have faced Illinois and Minnesota,
both of which will have decided issues
with Wisconsin. There will be no
line on Michigan through the others
but her game with Vanderbilt on No
vember will likely attest to her
strength.
Fielding H. Yost, of the Wolver
ines, has made a good report OF his
team, declaring that he has bundle
of bright prospects with which he ex-
poets to lift Michigan head and shoul-
ders above the entire country in the
gridiron game. Cheeriness has been
the keynote of his every move as he
has sent his charges into the game
with his hammer-and-tong style.
Several of the best players at Ann
| Arbor last year have left college, but
Yost has wealth of material to
choose from and a spirit of revenge
there this season that has glad5enod
his heart. Michiganders are deter
mined to leave no stone unturned in
order to equip themselves for the sa1.
| tional battle.
