Campaign Planned to Keep
Michigan Athletes in State
FOO 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 it's share OF high school
football material and the subse-
Iuent discussion which has tended
TO support the coach in his argu-
ment. will result in campaign
among. the high schools OF Michi-
gan 20 send their athletes 10 tho
university and the agricultural ccl-
lege. There are few states that an
nually develop stronger high school
elevens than do Michigan nigh
schools. and formerly these athletes
were the stars Of the Wolverine
and Farmer squads.
VI. A. c. 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 gridders
TO the larger schools. But the
freshman rule will 60 into eject at
NJ A. c the first OF January and
the East Lansing folks are going to
share Yosts difficulty.
To Offset this desertion of Michi-
gan high school football talent TO
smaller colleges. principally eastern
schools, a statewide propaganda
with patriotic appeal is planned.
Alumni OF Michigan and NJ. A. c.
particularly, will be urged TO keep
close TO all the athletic talent that
is IN sight. and the coaches and
powers that be in the various high
schools will be urged with more
than ordinary enthusiasm 10 exert
what influence they can TO keep
their boys In line.
Speakers at the Michigan foot
ball smoker Saturday night, had
much 10 say concerning this angle
Of Wolverine football. Willie Hes
ton bobbed up with the suggestion
that after the athletes did get 10
Michigan. they be given more than
perfunctory welcome. and that n Il
was learned that they must work
their way through school. Efforts be
made TO land them Jobs.

Safety of Players De-
pends on Coach
and Trainer

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-Football, the
most strenuous OF all outdoor sports,
claimed l6 lives during the 1915
season, which came 20 close Sat
urday. Last year the toll was one
less, but despite every precaution
taken by the rules committee, the
autumnal game continues 10 reap
its harvest annually.
Not a single death was recorded
in any game In which the players
we're known 10 be trained physical
ly, as we'll as mentally. for the Sc.
we're test; not a single life was
lost in a game where a Doctors ex-
animation was demanded before
the contestant was permitted 10
step upon the gridiron; not a single
fatality was recorded in a combat
handled as football should be
handled.
In most cases those who lost
their lives were members OF high
school, semi-pro. and prairie elev-
ems, where there Is little or no sys-
tenn OF physical training. II Is
true, some OF the deaths would have
occurred even under the best con.
ditions, but several might have been
prevented with proper care as 10
physical fitness.
Every possible danger in the
sport was eliminated by the rules
