Roast Rules
Leader Of the Michigan Forces One
Bright Ray Of Approval Over
Work of Committee.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1O.--YRle's pet bulldog
is spending his time in sulky growing over
the new foot ball rules Princeton sees
chance of sending a badly whipped animal
back 10 it's New Haven kennel because of
this latest effort at rule revising. Harvard
and Pennsylvania are quiet. They are
moulding thoughts into actual working
plans. OF course it's Beat Ysle!" up at
Cambridge. The Quakers merely substitute
Michigan for Yale in the slogan.
Michigan means Fielding H. Yost. The
two cannot be ASSOCIATED. It's like saying
Yale without adding Coy or Camp. And
through all this gloomy haze OF doubt sur
rounding the new rules comes a ray of
approval from Ann Arbor. Yost is pleased
with the work OF the rules committed He
makes no attempt to conceal the fact. He
sees great season for the maize and blue
eleven-the defeat of Pennsylvania, the just
claim to the western championship.
The Pennsylvania coaches are thinking OF
Yost. Just now the hurry up person is
figuring how much electric power he can
get out of a rushing stream If it is properly
harnessed. Yost is now figuring how much
power he can get out of squad Of athletes
Foot ball power is his diversion. The eyes
of eastern as we'll as western foot ball
coaches will be on Fielding H. Yost.
The new game will be game Of strategy.
YOst is past master at this essential phase
fof gridiron tactics He has earned the
right to be so termed Ask the coaches
| who saw their Pennsylvania team beaten
! by the Wolverines last year. The score
| was IL to o. Both touchdowns were made
on strategic plays. Philadelphia critics
called them ''freakish." One was a delayed
pass, the other forward pass. Nothing
very "freakish" there. 1t savors OF the
elemental. Yet the hand OF Yost made
these plays so yelled and effective thai
Yales great defence would have been put
to IL.
Why wonder. then. that Yost is pleased
with the new rules? If he could develop
such tricks out Of last years seni-restrictec
code, what will he do in the present wids
ATTITUDES of open play? Indeed. IT appear,
that the present code was made TO order
for Michigan.
That the quarterback will be eliminated
this autumn is the general opinion. Yost
began to do away with his field genera
last fall. Early in the. season the Michigan
fullback was coached to take direct pas.
from the center and skirt the ends. The
play was used effectively throughout ths
season. Yost subordinated the quarterback
a year ago.
They call him the hurry up" man. An.
other point for Ann Arbor. Yost has al
ways craved for speed in his elevens. He
was never satisfied. He always insisted
| the speed lever could move up another
notch. VIII not speed be the biggest asset
on the gridiron this fall? The passing OF
beef and strength will handicap every
eleven in the country but Yosts. VITA
the adoption Of new foot balr' in 1906. he
foresaw its possibilities and prepared to
meet its development Yost insisted on
speed and opened up Michigan's game.

trick play against Pennsylvania But the

FEAR OF A THIRD LEAGUE

Reason Assigned for Turning Down
Proposition of Tex Rickard.
1t is now said that the National Commits
siOn's motive in disappearing the proposed
series of games between two major league
all-star teams under the management for
the pecuniary profit of one Tex Richard
is based on the fear that this may lead to
the organization OF a third major league
II must be conceded that the way is rather
roundabout, and yet perhaps this fear is
justified. But does the commission imagine
it can head off such a movement in time?
1t is sure to come and while it may be de-
ferred or delayed. it cannot he eventually
prevented. The country is large enough for
1t and there does not seem to be any final
reason for not having It. Why should cities
of a half million or a little less, close
enough together to form good circuit thai
have been paying factors in big leagues
before. without major league base ball.
because certain other base ball magnates
want them is not a sufficient reason.

OF course the Quakers won. After the
game Mike Murphy said.
They tried to beat us playing basket
ball but we played foot ball"
Pennsylvanis's great team OF 1905 beat
Michigan by developments OF that play.

The draf. and call-back privileges have

with more complete sweep this year than

majority OF these youngsters make good
many old timers will have TO give way and
