EXPLAINS WHAT
H|SP[AYER|S
Michigan's Veteran Coach Says
Cridiron Men Must Think
With Rapidity.

Fielding III. Yost, who has gained
quite some fame as a football coach.
has summed up the modern develop
ment Of the game rather neatly In the
phrases:-''Seventy-fi per cent OF
football is played from the neck up"
Following which statement he goes
on TO point out that in his own day as
a football luminary. down at Lafay-
ette, the boys played a rough sort Of
game in which beef was the major
assert.
1T takes brains to play the modern
game" he says. And yet the player
who is always mixing isn't my style
Of a man. A player can think too
long on a play. and before he can
make up his mind something has
happened. like the fellow who
knows what 10 happening before II
happens. He Id real football
player"
"Oid Hurry Up" didn't win the
Western Conference championship
this year, but he certainly did have a
fighting Michigan eleven. His old
touchdown a minute" machines pass
ed out with the one of 1905, but the
1921 team had quite some force TO II,
and Yost thinks that by next year he
will have developed another big scor-
ing eleven. Incidentally the veteran
mentor licked the Grand Rapids
alumni who sought to have him
ousted. Yost spiked their guns right
off the bat and can sign up for as
many years as he wants.

The Wesleyan suggestion was first
made by one Of the men on the Yale
team, who said: Frank, why don't you
90 up to Wesleyan and lee II you can
Tut more life into their team? We
would like to get better resistance
from them. IL would make q stronger
team against us in our early schedule
and fit us better for the tougher
games later when you come back
here"
At that time Wesleyan had 200 stu
dents, all of whom were supposed, at
least by the general public. to be study
ing for the ministry. I'll never for
get the first impression of their foot
ball team. They appeared a fright.
fully ragged lot. Later charges were
made that encouraged them to play
rough football. but II 1t was rough II
certainly wasn't dirty"
In those days football players were
not as adept in handling the ball AZ
they are now. The player who could
catch the ball clearly seemed more
the exception than the rule. But
there were q lot Of good players on the
Wesleyan eleven. Jim SAKE was the
fuIlback, and how he could kick!
Then there were a couple of speedy
ends who were wonders in getting
down under the bail. There was also
a crackerjack tackle in Andrew Suth-
erland, now a justice OF the supreme
court in western New York.
With Sutherland to bolster tho de-
tense and Saxe's kicking, combined
with the speed of the ends on offense
there was fine material with which to
work. Wesleyan beat all her small
opponents and managed to make a
fairly decent showing against Yale.
Finally a game was arranged with
Harvard to be played In Hartford on
October "a.
At that time Harvard had 1000 men
from which to draw a team. The Ha-.
ward crowd expected a walkover. Yale
had beaten Wesleyan by a fair score
and the Crimson saw no reason why
it couldn't duplicate the feat. But
between the Yale and Harvard games
my team had gone forward lot. The
Ministers had developed a lot Of nerve.
They went up against the Harvard
crowd with something OF the same
spirit credited to Centre in the recent
game. They went in intending to play
their heads off every monute Of the
way, and did 1t. 1t was in the days
Of the old line-bucking game, but their
style of capitalizing the kicking ability
Of SAKE and the speed Of the ends was
analogous to the open style OF play
today against a heavier team. They
were a stone wall against Harvacis
drives on the defense. The result was
Wesleyan 10, Harvard 0.
Naturally, Middletown went wild.
The little town turned out in q body
when the team reached the station,
We were piled into one Of those old.
fashioned rigs known as a barge. The
horses were uncoupled and the 1thu-
siastic students pulled up arouL the
town and up the steep hill to the
campus. Red fire burned and the boys
yelled and sang.
