Campaign Planned to Keep
Michigan Athletes in State
Too Much Football Tai
ent Is Going
East

The assertion OF Head Coach
Yost, of the University OF Michigan
football squad, that Michigan was
not getting its share OF high school
football material and the subse-
Iuent discussion which has tended
10 support the coach in his argu.
ment. will result in campaign
among the high schools OF Michi-
gar 20 send their athletes 10 tho
university and the agricultural ccl-
There are few states that an.
nually develop stronger high school
elevCns than do Michigan nigh
schools, and formerly these athletes
were the stars of the Wolverine
and Farmer squads.
VI. a. G. has not had so much
trouble securing stars as the uni
versity because until this year there
has been no freshman rule, which
Yost blames for the loss OF griddcrs
to- the larger schools But the
freshman rule will GO into effect at
VI A. c the first OF January. and
the Fast lansing folks are going 10
share Yosts difficulty.
To Offset this desertion OF Michi-
gan high school football talent to
smaller colleges, principally eastern
schools, statewide propaganda
with patriotic appeal Is planned.
Alumni OF Michigan and NJ a. C..
particularly. will be urged 20 keep
close 10 all the athletic talent that
is in sight, and the coaches and
powers that be in the various high
schools will be urgcl with more
than ordinary enthusiasm to exert
what influence they can 10 keep
their boys In line.
Speakers AT the Michigan foot
ball smoker SATURDAY. night, had
much 10 saw concerning this angle
OF Wolverine football. Willie Hes
ton bobbed up with the suggestion
that after the athletes did get TO
Michigan. they be given more than
perfunctory welcome, and that II II

their way through school, Efforts be
made to land them Jobs.
