YOST PLANS TO QUIT
AS MICHIGAN COACH

ANN ARBoR, Mich, October 10
Fielding II. fost. athletic director at
the University of Michigan, probably
will not coach Michigan's foot ball
elevens after the close Of the present
season.
Iost made this intimation last night
in an address before the University
Press Club of Michigan. when, with
tears in his eyes and overcome with
emotion. he lauded the spirit of
Michigan's foot ball teams during the
twenty three years Of his connection
with its gridiron representatives.
The burden of developing Michigan's
foot ball elevens. Yost intimated, will
fall upon George Little, for two years
an assistant coach. Yost paid tribute
to his four assistants. to whom he
delegated large part of theg work
of developing the foot ball clevens.
During his talk, Yost pointed out
that his contract with the university
contained no clause concerning the
development of foot ball elevens, nor
placed upon him the duties of coach.
He added. however. that he had de-
Vised the major part OF the technical
work laid out for the foot ball teams.
Although he probably will surrender
much of this work at the end of the
present season, those close TO Yost
say it will be impossible for him to
surrender his interest In Michigan's s
Ertdiron squads and many of them
predict that he will take an active
part in their development. even
though he turns over TO Little the
actual functions OF coach.
foSt was appointed director of ath-
letics three years ago. In this capa-
city he has direct charge of all COM

The spiral pass is by far the
swifter and more easily controlled
pass. Good centers can learn to pass
the ball as we'll in the mud as on a
dry field. The end-over-end pass
takes longer, and is more uncertain
than the spiral pass. Accuracy in
passing the ball counts a great deal
in the perfection of the backheld
play, and the spiral pass is the more
easily handled, SO use it.
