GLOOMY AT MICHIGAN
Yost Has Meager and Unsatls-
factory knowledge of Material.
HucAitt, Game Little Quarterback,
aItd Five Prospective Stars Lost
by Faculty Rullngs-Maul-
betsch Is Praised.

Coach Fielding Fl. Yost has a list OF
some fifty big, strapping youngsters
in line for his 1915 University of
Michigan football teain-but whether
there are II football players in the
bunch is serious question.
Probably never in the history Of
the famous coach's activities at Ann
and unsatisfactory knowledge of the
material at hand than he has for his
1915 machine.
Far be it from Coach Yost to allow
the wolf to howl at this early stage
of the game, but facts are facts In
Hughitt, the game little quarterback
of the 1914 team, by graduation. "Hur'
ry-Up" has been deprived of five OF
his prospective 1915 stars by faculty
rulings.
The faculty has passed out the
word that because of scholastic de-
kciencies, Lyons and Traphagen, IN"
men, and Ewert, Johnny Dunn and
Brown of the freshmen eleven, will
not be eligible for the varsity.
Its pretty tough blow to learn
that five men you counted heavily
upon are not eligible" said Coach
Yost
II have a long list of men who will
be given invitations to try for the
1916 team. / know that there are
plenty of big, powerful men among
them but whether there are any foot
ball players in the making can't say.
You can't tell until you see man
In the big game whether he has foot
ball sense or not. If they can't think
football under fire, they won't be
stars. And you can never tell what
a man will do in pinch until he is
actually under great stress.
There are very few men coming
back to me who have been given the

News. In essentials 1t Is the same,
to be sure, but tournament players
who achieve national and internation-
al fame are so much faster in their
play, so much more accurate in their
strokes, so much superior in all de-
partments, that they compare with the
average player as an up-to-date racing
yacht compares with fiat-bottomed
rowboat.
One who plays tennis at all cannot
hut admire these highly organized
champions for their mastery of speed,
of stroke, of strategy. Few average
tennis players, however will aspire to
there Olympen heights. Nest of the
multitude of devotees of the game will
continue sercncly on the course of
mediocrity, content in knowing that
their play tends to develop and main

Warner AGAINST Double.Headers.

Hans Wagner refers to double-head
ers as head-on collisions. "One in a
week is bad enough" says Honus

four days keep any club or manager

i've p,avers often "Roneheads. .

ANY player who fails to work along
the old-fashioned lines is likely to pull
'boner' ever so often" asserts Ger
many Schaefer Of the Newark Feds
That's why so many of the brainy
men in baseball pull 'boners. 1t takes
brains to figure out new plays. If the
new play goes through, all's lovely.
But If it doesn't, the player is brand
ed as an ivory -domed guy. That's why
there aren't many new plays being
originated in these days. Players hate

being labeled 'bonehead.

WORLD RECORDS MAY
Be BROKEN IN STATE
FAIR Horse RACES

The prospect of good horse events
for the State Fair this year was never
better. Indications already point to a
great series of events at the state
Fair track following the close of the
great fall meet at the Panama-Pacihc
international Exposition. 1t has been
noticeable to all who have closely
watched these events however. that
although the great events at San
Francisco have been advertised as the
biggest and best ever held there are
no such fast races called for as are
had on the historic Phoenix track ev-
cry year.
In point of entry in both the pacing
and trotting classes the speediest rae
es are the $4,000 2:06 pace and the
pos trot These are slower by sew
eral seconds than the fastest class OF
races held at Phoenix The purses at
the Arizona State Fair have always
been generous, so much so, in fact,
that they have been attractions TO an
the big harness horse men in the
country and in consequence the best
horses in America have been yearly
visitors TO Phoenix.
The coming fair win be no eXcep-
tion to the rule. Entries for these
events will close on October first of
this year and by that time as good a
list of spanking fine harness animals
as can be seen at any state fair in the
country win be listed with Secretary
Shaughnessy.
The Arizona State Fair has two of
the fastest tracks i'm the country The
inside track is a half mile track used
for some Of the shorter events. This
track is always kept I'm first class con.
dition. and as a soft dirt track is eN.
ceeded i'm value and attractiveness
only by the mile track which circum-
scribes It, This mile track is the
pride of Arizona. Here worlds rec.
ords have been broken and viii be
broken again. It is possibly the only
track on the whole list of state fair
tracks that is used the same week by
both automobile racers and horse
racers. Il is solid and yet cushiony
giving the noble animals almost am
incentive to make the records Of their
lives.

RRleANp WOULD ENLIST.

VERONA, Italy, Sept. 6.-The fam
Gus Italian brigand Mosolino, now
serving a sentence of thirty years
penal servitude has addressed a petit
ton to the King of ItalS asking to be
allowed to fight and die DIR his coun-
try. The King received he brigand's
request among a numbef of state
papers brought here to be- laid before
the King on his way to the Tyrolean
front. Musolino expressed his grief
that his Imprisonment prevents him
from wearing the Kings uniform and
asks permission 20 fight not however
as an enlisted volunteer, but on condi-
tion that if he remains alive through
the war; whatever deeds Of valor he
may have accomplished, he shall re-
turn to the penitentiary and serve out
his sentence. The Italian law absO:
lutely prevents the acceptance of any
such proposal.
