Rartelme and his assistants and Line
4 Coaches Germany Schultz" and king

4 the Syracuse game.
Along came Yost and the mourning
stopped, partly because he himself didn't
+ appear downhearted and partly because

said, I'VE won It for them. The boys did
everything but what they had been

punts That gave Syracuse one touch

a ouse says about us, they can't accuse us
a Of discourtesy. We did everything possl-
bic to help them along"

A the crippled regular quarterback, put in
an appearance He was made to remove
A his coat and roll up his shirt sleeves so
Trainer Farrell and Yost could examine
i his bum left elbow.
Johnny Maulbetsch and Captain Jimmy
\ Raynsford Joined the bunch in the ath-

to meet them. Perhaps 1t was mutual.
Maulbetsch has a fighting face; so has
Raynsford at present for his left eye is
several colors of the rainbow as a result
Of its running foul Of a Syracuse elbow
last Saturday. Mnulbetsch looks too
small for a football player, but they say
he's young OK and able to lick twice
his weight in wildcats.
Coach Yost finally asked US to take
ride in his car and four of us did so. The
coach Is a good driver aside from the
fact that he Is likely at any moment to
take his hands off the wheel and dive into
his pocket for a paper and pencil with
which to illustrate where the defensive
halfbacks should play on shift forma-
tion. However. he brought us safely back
10 headquarters after showing us the
beauties of the town.

was agreeably surprised by being in
yited to have lunch and all subsequent
meals at the training table. / hope this
part OF it will be forgotten before the
expense account is turned in. The fare
was good. but as Germany Schultz
pointed out. you could have cut the
gloom with a knife.
I'm glad OF it," he said. lit will do
them good to be sore on themselves.
They know they were rotten against
syracuse and will try to make up for II
by working this week"
Yost ordered his varsity squad to re-
: port at Ferry Field for practice at 2:30
and then We all got up and beat 1t. the
players TO their various classes, the
coach TO the privacy of his home to
think up plays for use against Harvard,
and Germany Schultz and your corre-
spondent to the billiard hall.
AT 2:5O the varsity squad gathered on
Ferry Field and the coach was kind
enough to let me watch the practice.
Or perhaps he was trying to freeze me
10 death, but the practice was secret so
can't tell you much about it, There
may nave been scrlmmages toward the
close OF 1t, but by that time your scribe
was at the hotel trying TO get warm.
Assisting Yost in instructing his
eharses were Schultz, Cole, Watkins,
Harry Hammond and Old Willie He's
