SURE
TO DEFEAT PENN
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Fielding II. Yost, Michigans great
football tutor, sat in a seat on Franklin
Field Saturday and saw the Carlisle
Indians drive over and around the
Pennsylvania eleven, pushing it far
ther into the mire of disgrace into
which it was thrown by Brown and
Penn State. 1t is doubtful if he saw
anything in that game to shake his
confidence In the hopes of the Wolver-
ines In the annual battle between them
and the Quakers. Despite Michigan s
failure to win from Syracuse last Sat-
urday, Yost Is sure that Cornell will
be beaten next Saturday at Ithaca,
and that Penn will also be humbled
a week later at Ann Arbor. That will
be glory enough for Yost and Michigan.
Michigan Is the only Western eleven
or caliber to meet Eastern teams. This
came about as a result of internal dis
sensions in the Conference AsSocia ton
following the season of 1905 North
western abandoned football for five
Years and Wisconsin adopted a schcd-
ule of but five games. Training tables
were abolished and real championship
games were not allowed. Almost with
out exception, WGst1rn teams agreed
not to meet the Wolv vc"!ncs. whose Sue
cess upon the gritlIr,n f"r five years
past had been wonderful.
Michigan then entered into football
relations with Pennsylvania. Five
games have been played by them now,
pennsylvania winning three, losing one
and teing one. Following is their
standing to date:
1s06-Penn, II; Michigan, 0.
1907-Penn, 6; Michigan O.
ls0S-Penn, %: Michigan 0.
19G-Michigan, II; Penn, o.

Meets Syracuse.
In 1908. still finding Western elevens
coy, and also assuming some inde
pendence themselves, Michigan ar
ranged a game with Syracuse. This

have met, their records being as fol-
lows:
190S-Michigan. 4: Syracuse. %.
