FOOTBALL is DEMOCRATIzED.
Yost Sage IL 10 No Longer the Exclu-
sive Asset of Big Colleges.

siVe Asset OF Dig Oohe9eSs
After many years football has at last
become democratized, according to
Fielding II. Yost, coach of the Univer-
sity of Michigan eleven. The great
college sport is no longer the exclusive
asset of the big universities, and the
chances are good that it will never be
again, in the opinion of the same au-
thority.
Everybody has been shooting ques-
lions at me all fall" said Coach Yost
recently, ''in regard to the poor show
ing OF the Michigan team. They all
want to know why with something
like 5000 or 5000 students we can't
have a better team.
Now, these same critics forget that
according to the rule there can be only
eleven men on the field at one time.
The abnity of each comes into play
here, and why does it not stand to
reason that a small college can get
just as good men on the field as big
ones?
The smaller colleges are getting bet
ter material year after year, and the
argument in getting the men is I'M
beatable. A star football player is de-
veloped. Immediately the fact that he
has cinch In making the team In q
smaller college is put before him. he
is certain of being a better man If he
joins the team, while if he goes to one
of the big institutions he viii have to
compete against an army of candi
dates.
''This is likely to continue and &C.
count for the greater number of foot
ball upsets this fall"
The contention of Coach Yost was
acquiesced in by Germany Schultz, as
sistant to Hurry Up"
Eyes, and don't forget this" added
Yost-"that the majority of the small
colleges play four year men, which, OF
course, includes freshmen. This makes
tremendous difference, and it also
appeals to the young star player who
comes out of a prep school"

moters in several big cities have offer

Stecher and the champion.
Stecher, who halls from Dodge, Neb.,
is considered the greatest grappler de-
veloped in America during the last five
years. He has defeated every mat
artist he has met in the past year, and
his hackers believe he can take the
crown away from GOtch. 1t is more
than likely that the pair win meet in
February. Experts say Gotch at his
