Gopher eleven.
Gave Them Two Hardest Gaines

and here today The Minnesota foot-'
ba!i machine, in both games, was the
best team we played this year"
H. closing his talk, Coach Yost gave
"reminiscences on past football teams
and players, recalling specifically the
work of Sig Harris in 1902

short talk. +. Il. Pierce, secretary of
the university alumni association, pre-
sided. Members Of both teams were

! Michigan maize and blue.
Studying Michigan's Secret
| Doc" Spears, who followed Coac h
iost as the speaker, smiling broadly,
though his team was defeated by the
| narrowcst Of margins, said:
| Michigan seems to have Il secret in
its play which we have been unable
to fathom. | guess the only way for
US to discover it is to continue to
play Michigan.
We want to assure you boys from
Michigan that no one has any more
rcpect for you than We have, and w
hope that before long you will have
rs great respect for our prGNvcss.'
Benny Friedman, captain of the VOL
VERNE squad, was the next speaker
"This will be the last time l an
with my squad he said. Il have littl'
to say, except to repeat the words O
"the old man." that yours has beef
the toughest aggregation we hav
been up against.
However. they say that it is al
ways the last strike that counts
and we like to count on the las
strike as frequently as possible"
