the ordinary running ana p1une1ng at
tack these are but the ground work.
Yost rises far above the ordinary foot
ball plane. Given the proper material
with which to work he builds mp q
series OF skilfully conceived playt
which because Of their originality
cause CONSERVATION among opponents
and frequently the game officials.
Yost, however. is keen student Of the
rules and seldom springs q play which
a careful reading Of the regulations
will not prove to be legitimate.
Off the field Haughton and Yost are
as unlike one another as they are when
in action. Haughton seldom talks foot
ball while Yost will spend hours dis
cussing the game in all its phases, IL
Illustrating particular plays with what
ever objects are handy. He can play
a game with eleven chairs or salt cell
lars, using a hall or q table az the
case may be and never fails to keep
his audience spclibound as he shifts
his team with lighting rapidity. Both
coaches are comparatively wealthy and
men OF business affairs and interests
during the months when the football
is dead. They coach more for the love
of the sport than because of the finan-
cial returns although both reveive
large salaries for their three months
work each fall. While the average
spectator at today's game will not see
1t, there will be q great battle of wits
and strategy at Cambridge this after
noon and football experts from all
parts of the country will be present to
see the outcome.

Put Up Hard Fight.

Chicago. Oct. 31.-Semi-fina games
of the "bis nine" championship race
In the west and an important inter-
sectional game in the east-Michigan

interest in the western conference. The
only other big nine' eleven to go

interest. The other four conference
elevens. Iowa. Purdue. Northwestern
ration for their final squirt toward the
finish of the year, all OF them hope
lessly out Of the championship race.
Nebraska, one of the prominent west
ern schools, has a game for today, the
Cornhuskers playing Ames in what is
considered a practice struggle for the
Nebraska players.
Chicago's championship eleven was
ready to face Wisconsin with high
hopes of victory. A desperate contest
weakened by the crippled condition Of
certain players, was determined to put
Chicago out of fine championship race
II possible. Neither team has been
defeated this season.
Experts predict a victory for Illinois
over Minnesota, although they are
agreed that Minnesota's qualities prac-
tically are unknown. Illinois, however,
is recognized as the speediest eleven
of the conference. With excellent
k1ckers OF both of the punt and field
goal variety. Coach Zuppke Of the
1llint, was confident of a victory.

Kansas Aggies at Columbia. with the
Manhattan team crippled from injuries.
To followers Of the Valley teams the
contest between Nebraska and Ames
seems to be the class Of the day. The
Cornhuskers have built up a great elev-
en- this year. probably because Of the
fact that Nebraska has several games
scheduled with Big Nine teams. Ames,
too, is stronger than in previous years.

Minnesota.
Kansas and Oklahoma, old time riv-
ais, meet again at Lawrence, but the
Jayhawkers are weakened by a heavy
hospital list. seven stars being out Of
the game. Oklahoma has defeated the
Lawrence players in the last three con-
tests between the schools. The Mis-
souri, Tigers are not in best condition
for their game with the Kansas Aggies,
but must gain victory over the Man
haitian men to be taken seriously in
later games this season. The Aggies
lost to Kansas last week, by a big
score.

Michigan-Harvard Game VIII
Be Coaches Fight.
Both Y0st and HaughtOn Are
Wonderful Mentors.
TWO MEN DIFFER GREATLY
HaughtOn, q Reserved DespOt,
Rules With Iron Hand.
YOSt Talks Much and "Hurr1eS.
Up" Much More.

New York, Oct. 31.-When the Har-
ward and Michigan football teams meet
in the stadium at Cambridge this az
ternOon the contest Will be as mucn q
battle between coaches as elevens. On
the Michigan side Of the field the west
ern gridiron contingent will be in
charge of Fielding H. Yost, while on
the Crimson bench Percy D. HaughtOn
will direct the Harvard campaign. Two
coaches of greater fame have not been
opponents i'm football in many years
and the struggle between the machines
developed and taught by these past
masters of gridiron strategy is expected
to be one of the classics of the autumn
sport.
Although differing widely in person.
atty and methods Haughton and YOst
year in and year out achieve wonders
with the material that reports for foot
ball at the two great universities which
they represent. Haughton is coach
who talks little, thinks deeply and is
tireless in action. Once the early sea-
son preliminaries are completed Haugh-
ton rules the squad with an iron hand.
He is a keen student of football and
knows the game both ancient and mod
ern in every phase. He is an autocrat
on the field, inclined to be sharp and
and coach who believes in hard prac-
tice and plenty of it for both the Var
sity and second string players.
YOst's Style.
Yost might be aptly termed a foot
ball fanatic. Like Haughton, he was
a player and a brilliant one in his un-
dergraduate days but has never ceased
to absorb and keep up with the rapidly
changing game. In fact many of the
plays and rules now part Of the annual
autumn college sport are directly trace
able to the Michigan coach. On the
field he is much more active and DEM
onstrative than Haughton. He keeps
up a running fire of comment and crit
icism and frequently jumps into line OF
backfield in order to personally Illus
trate just how the play he Is aiming al
should be made. Speed and dash Is al
most a mania with Yost and his con-
stantly repeated phrase Hurry up!
Hurry up!" has caused 1t to be tackled
on to his name in the west until the
general follower of football believes
that he was baptised "Hurry-up Yost. -
The mentor Of the Ann Arbor foot
ball teams is particularly famous fol
the brilliant, daring and unusual plays
and football strategy which he works
out with the aid of his Michigan
elevens While he knows and teaches
all the fundamentals Of the game and

WEST vs.. EAST IN MIDDLE WEST
Michigan Wolverines Meet the
Harvard Crims0ns Today.
Players Spent the Morning IL
Taking Light Recreation.

Cambridge, Oct. u--Football as
played in the west and taught by Yost
was matched against the eastern game
as exemplided by Haughton when the
Michigan and Harvard teams met to-
day in the first stadium built in this
country. Nearly 10000 enthusiastic
followers of the most popular form OF
sport had purchased tickets for the con-
test. The sun shone brightly the tenn
perature was moderate and the grid
iron was dry.
The Harvard eleven was pronounced
favorites before the game started. This
was due principally to the defeat OF
Michigan by Syracuse q week ago and
to the absence Of some stars from the
Michigan lineup. Tho Harvard line
was bolstered up by the return Of PEN
mock one Of the all-American guards
OF last season.
Mahon Out To-day.
It was expected that Mahon would
not start In the game as the coaches
wish to reserve him for the Princeton
contest. Both teams spent the night
quite far away from the customary
might before celebration Of the stu
dents. The Michigan players who were
ten miles out from the city walked
about. the Newton hills this forenoon
and some Of them played golf on a
nearby course. Most Of the members
OF the Harvard eleven were busy with
Rotations.

WOMAN'S BOOK CLUB
Makes Substantial improvements
at Its Library Building.

A Colonial Tea was given by the
ladies Of the Wcman's Book Club
here Wednesday afternoon and even
ing at their club building, TO raise
funds with which to pay for the in
stallatinu of electric lights and other
improvements. The library rooms
were beautifully decorated with
flags ofmany nations, surrounding
a portrait Of George Washington.
which hung above the main arch OF
the library. The Colonial idea was
further carried out in a guessing
contest at a bottle of cherries from
the original cherry tree of George
Washington lat least the bottle was
so labeled they looked like cranber-
ries The winner Of the guess will
receive free ticket to the library.
Tea, cake and sandwiches were
served in the afternoon by Mesdames
B. f, McMahan, Walter Petit and
viii Larimer. The serving Com.
mittee of the evening was composed
of Mesdames John Kecner Roy Mi
lum and Miss Routh Lewis. A cash
donation of SO and one of S. were
received, and, although the weather
was unfavcrable the ladies were
very successful.
1t is the purpose Of the Woman's
Book Club to open the library of
something over 1000 volumes as a
public reading room, and it was for
this reason that the electric lights
were put in. This club owns its own
building, which is now thoroughly
equipped and one Of the most quaint
and artistic in the state
A voluntary movement on the
part of the husbands OF the ladies of
the club, will provide for the con-
structon of a cement walk and steps
