West- Ahead of East.

! Fielding H Yost, Michigans coach,
came east last year and saw several
big games. He then remarked that the
western elevens had made much more
of the possibilities Of new football
than any team hereabout with the eX-
ceptiOn of Pennsylvania. What Yost
meant was that as the rules allowed
the use of long forward passes and
multitude of queer formations, triple
quadruple and quintupIe passes and all
sorts of queer wrinkles, the western
teams, in taking advantage of these
things and making them part of their
scheme of attack. were ahead of their
eastern rivals.
But it must be recollected that east
ern coaches struggled through the idea
of reformed football for one whole
season. The new rules when they first
came out were taken down at one gulp
and strategic plays based upon long
passes and queer formations had their
thorough trial. 1t did not last long.
The coaches hereabout found that the
new things were not enough in them
selves to constitute means of adj
vancing the ball nor did they make a
