MICHIGAN HONORS Y0ST
IN NAMING CLUBHOUSE
Followers or Football Mentor Show
Their Appreciation by This

Ann Arbor, June S-The decision
Of the University of Michigan to name
the new Ferry Field club house the
"Yost Field House" did not come as
an inspiration but rather as the re-
suit of a demand to thus honor the
football mentor, from followers OF the
Maize and Blue In every part OF the
world.
For months past the athletic au-
thorities have been deluged with re-
quests that this tribute be paid the
coach. The letters came from alum
nj associations, state officials, men
high in official life of this country,
including Judge William Day, of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
and the university body The re-
quests took the form of petitions, res
olutions and letters which in some
cases approached demand.
One of the resolutions passed by the
university board in control of ath-
letics Is typical. This resolution ac-
knowledges that:
"Fielding H. Yost has faithfully and
and efficiently discharged the duties
of his position with credit to the uni
yerslty and to himself; at all times
has been earnest In advancing the
fame of Michigan in the field of ath-
letic endeavor; has impressed upon
those with whom he came in contact
ideals OF fair play, clean living and
Of unselhsh giving, and has been
contributing factor In moulding the
character Of those about him"
