Y0ST'S WORRIED
ABOUT AcG|E GAME
Hurry-Up Fears Farmers" May
Put One Over On the Michigan
Crowd
BY LOREN ROBINSON.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Oct. H.
Coach Yost Ii alarmed. For the first
time this season the famous" smile
Is noticeable by Its absence. He fears
the Farmers" who will invade the
Michigan camp on Saturday. A few
years ago the NJ. A. c. teams were
hardly noticed by the Wolverines, but
now they have developed into such a
formidable aggregation that Yost Is
taking notice.
Under such conditions the playing
OF the varsity inspires little hope.
They lack the speed and the pep"
that makes q winning team. Yester-
days game with the reserves and the
freshmen only adds fear 10 the hearts
OF the onlookers. Three times the first
team was under the shadow of the
goal posts, even within ten yards. and
three times the scrubs held them for
downs. The line could not open up
any holes big enough for q man to
squeeze through. On the old style
plays, and following the new rules,
they could not make Ave yards In
three downs.
In the new game their work has
improved since last Saturday. They
handle their passes with much more
accuracy. and the return OF Thompson
has improved the kicking department
greatly. Pattengin Is the one man on
the team that stands out as q star
with his brilliant playing. He blocxs
and tackles like a fend. and In reli-
able at any time and under any con-
ditions.
Yost has not announced the lineup
for Saturday, and In all probability
there will be some shake-ups before
the game.
II am worried" says "Hurry-Up."
The boys aren't playing the way
they should and Brewer has a strong
team. We have got to take q brace
To keen from being beaten"

rolling up comfortable totals. They
have. with few exceptions. adapted

olden days are being reported.
With the study OF the possibilities Of
the open game progressing with the
seasons advance. there Is strong
promise of some very thrilling games
being played when the more evenly

II would be q case of fighting fire with

BRILLIANT IDEA REGARDING
THE MATTER.

The superior court rooms were
moved today, temporarily, from the
chamber at the courthouse to the We
natchee, theatre auditorium. Judge
Grimshaw handed down a decision to
the effect that the judicial dignity
could not be maintained in polar tenn
peratures, and ordered his court to
report at the comedy house for fur
Their orders. Court spent the morn
ing sitting in the professors" chair
in the orchestra, but there were no
strains from the Merry Widow" In
stead there was a jury panel being
questioned to see if it could impartial
ly decide the case of Wheeler w. DAN
iel, in which decision must be made
regarding whether the horse is on"
the plaintiff or defendant.
Other departments at the court
house did not fare so well and have
to manage as best they can at the
old stand that has not been like home
for several days. County Engineer
Berry gave up and moved his force
into the sheriff's office, where a small
stove has been in commission for
some time. On the engineers door
there is legend that reads thus:
"Froze out Done went next door,
Berry" On County Clerk Campbell's
door is another legend: Find me
in the auditors Office" The reporter
went on search and found about 20
down there, blends and brunettes and
Intermediates"
Horticultural Inspector Darlington
has probably the coolest job in town
as he must work with his window
open. This is because of the excep-
tionally bright idea conceived this
morning by an obscure member of
the municipal service who set his
brains to work and solved the county
heating problem, during the absence
of Pat Sherburne, who went to Seat
tie to buy steam thawing plant.
Said employee attached a hose of the
common, or garden, variety to a n.y.
drant across the street and inserted
the other end through Darlington's
window and thence downward to the
boiler BY this deep and well planned
course was the county's capital once
more provided with water, and the
heating of the building is now only
a matter of few hours. There Is
some talk of running the hose expert
for city engineer at the next election.
