"Hurry-Up" Says He
Won't Quit Because
of Bad Season

ANN ARBoR, Mich. Nov. H.
There Is absolutely no truth In any
story that will quit the Michigan
football team this year." declaret
Coach Yost as he walked on IRON
the field yesterday al the end Of
the last practice on Ferry field this
season. Also Will never coach Al
Yale as the report has ii. When
leave Michigan | win quit coaching
and nothing can make me sign with
any other school.
"In the first place. can not quit
this year. Although my contract II
so arranged that il can be broken
any year the party breaking 1t must
notify the other six weeks before
the end OF the season ! have not
been notified and have not notified
the athletic board Of control.
In the second place. my real
football coaching career will be
here at Michigan and nowhere else,
I decided that a long time ago and
will stick by It, When leave here
leave the game for good.
Il hope that those who started
the story do not believe that I am
going TO quit because have not
had a good season or because there
has been lot of opposition to my
work. for | am right now laying
plans for next year. and though we
nave had two bad years, feel that
there are big ones TO come and l
am going to fight for those"
The spirit OF resolve that marked
Yosts words were reflected in his
face as he turned to look at Ferry
field for the last time this year.
He looked as though he hated to
leave the field. although II has
been a most discouraging season for
him He is figuring and planning
how to overcome the great weak
ness Of the eleven and how to I'LL
the vacated holes. He Is not
through fighting yet by long way.
The same spirit that Yost had
also was In the team, for the cry
OF the quarter could be heard often
as Roehm and Zeiger drove the
squad forward, Its the last time
this year boys, let's make IL good
one" And for long time the two
squads charged up and down the
field with the most pep and vim
they have yet had. II they dis
play half as much enthusiasm
against Penn as they did Wednes-
day afternoon, victory is assured.
Yost has made but one change
for the game Saturday when the
youngster Weske, whom Yost con-
siders the dark horse Of the team,
will replace Willard at left guard.
Dunno and Staatz will be at the
ends.
Those who criticise Yost for lack
of open plays will have no kick
coming from the array that Michi.
gan will show Penn. Yost has given
out a great number Of the pass
and trick plays and Roehm has
orders TO use everything he has as
| il is the last game OF the season
| and Michigan's last chance TO come
back.
A football smoker will be held
next Tuesday night when the letter
men will receive their M" and the
reserves their r." Coach Yost will
not be present for the first time in
many years as he leaves for home
direct from Penn.
Several thousand students parad-
ed behind the varsity band TO the
depot Wednesday night to send the
team on TO Penn. The fans are
still sticking to the team and a
great number have already made
to accompany the team. Michigan
will be well represented BY the
rooters, the band and the jackies
from the battleship Michigan.
A good many faus are OF the opin-
ion that Mauly has not yet lost his
chance to the All-American team of
this year. They point out THAI II
he can play an fine game against
Penn as he did Cornell, he ought to
get q lot of eastern press notices
that will make Camp consider him
despite Michigan's bad year. The
fans do not doubt but that Maui
betsch is far better this year than
last, but has been unfortunate. But
most OF them look for one more
chance and It Will be this Saturday
at Penn. The probable lineup:
Staatz, lie; Norton. IL; weske. lg:
Nieman, c; Cochran, re; Watson.
TT: Dunno, re: Roehm, q; Maui
