Yost Again

Exactly twenty-five years ago Hurry-up Yost began
turning out great football teams in the West He went
as far the Pacific slope before he turned TO
Michigan, where tventy-one years ago he gave the
game one Of its greatest teams.
Six or eight things have happened in this universe
since the days Of Hesten and Hernsten, Longman and
Hammond, White. Weekes, Sweeley, McGugin Snow,
Redden and Gregory, who on hand between 1901
and 1904.
Yet 1922 finds the same Yost with another unbesten
Michigan eleven and oldfashoned smile just trife
wider than any he has for q or two.
And this was coming TO one Of the great coaches
Of the game Of the greatest fellows in the fold
Yost, who took drink in his life and who
profanity Of any sort in handling his men,
is one Of the most forcefu characters in sport-big
rugged friendly, smart, Of the keenest OF all foot
ball students and the deepest lover Of the gridron game
we have ever seen.
1t great thing TO see him come back to such
success after several Of injuries and hard
breaks for there is who deserves from the
game 10 which he has given SO much as player and
coach for twenty-sx years.
