70 DEPEND ON
STRAIGHT GAME
michigan Struggle Not
Likely to Develop Freaks

Fielding II. Yost and Percy ID.
IIaughton are two Of the most inter
es,ing characters in sport, and, seek
TO dodge the issue as we may, there Is
m eansayng the fact that next fails
meeting between Harvard and Michi-
can will be i'm reality contest of wit
and wisdom between these two men.
Neither underestimates the other,
and neither is slow To get his men into
action. since both squads have already
been called out.
The coaches have limited darkly at
probable novelties in the plays of the
two eleyens, both in attack and de-
fensc-noveltics which probably will
be not greatly in evidence when the
whistle blows for the kickoff
Knowing both Haughton and Yost
one cannot believe that either will
sacrifice sound and sane football in
the interests of something bizarre.
1t is difficult Is convince The middle
westcrncr that Yost's socallcd open
play is based upon anything but COM
mon sense and it is equally hard, APP
paTently to convince the easterncr
that Haughton will be anything but
Ultra-cOnseryative.
Both Yost and Haughton seem to he
willing to let the impression get
abroad among football men that each
is so afraid Of the others methods
that he is making special preparations
with his team.
Much has been made of the pres
cnce at Cambridge of Harvey snyder,
an old Harvard man. who has been
coaching i'm the west, and Yost is now
busy with his men at Ann Arbor.
1t might as well be understood right
now that this game will settle nothing
Of the so-callcd difference between the
east and wst, but will settle the diff
ference between teams coached by
loSt ana Hauehton.
