SCOUTING OK
YOST STATES
Does Not Reduce Pos.
sibilities of Initia-
tive He Says
BY FIELDING vi. YOST
director OF Athletics, University OF
Michigan.l


ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov. 9.-CP1-
Scouting football games. as conduct
ed in the Western conference and as
far as ! know throughout the
try, is in my opinion a fine thing
and does not reduce the possibilities
of initiative by players. IL is, of
course true that scouting, as every
other element of merit, can be abus-
ed. Generally, however, the scouting
conditions are nearly ideal.
Today the scouts are in a sense
the guests Of the entertaining univer-
sity. They are received openly at
the coaching headquarters, meet the
visiting scouts OF other schools and
sit as guests with other scouts where
comparison Of notes is possible. This
scouting system has resulted in .
feeling of greater confidence and
larger friendships among the coach
es. As il is the younger coaches
that do the scouting. the friendships
being made today will be the friend
ships of tomorrow among the head
coaches.
II recognized scouting under the
open and approved plan is not in eff
feet there are many n Of OBJ
tanning information. OF this l have
direct information.
Boys playing football have little
experience. Only the unusual young
ster now plays his twenty-fourth
college game in his final appearance.
TIE average college game experience.
| am convinced, is less than ten per
man. OF recent Michigan men Ben
ME 0osterbaan is the only one ] re-
member as playing in twenty-four
games. Friedman, also a Benny, his
co-star for a year or two played in
t~wenty-one. These two were the out
standing players over a Swear span.
In my judgment scouting makes
a finer game possible and yet leaves
a wide open road 10 the full use Of
initiative possessed by the men play
ing college football. Neither coaches
nor quarterbacks have yet devised a
system of attack in which all plays
are used in every game. This leaves
a wide field for something new-the
unexpected in offense that must be
anticipated by the defense - the
change in defense that must be an
alyzed by the offense. All passes,
bucks, kicks and runs can be exc
cuted from any formation. The de-
fense problem is to meet this varied
offense.
Defense may be as versatile as the
offense. A o of a yard by a
man in the defending line may spell
disaster to a we'll planned play. A
f~ive-yard change in the secondary
support may make necessary a change
in plans. Each movement Of either
defense or offense gives opportunity
for initiative, for quick thinking and
swift decisions.
Even with all the facts the player
may be able to obtain from scout
obtained knowledge Of formations.
the football rule is "Look and see.
Watch and find out" and in doing
that one thing the player will have
use for all the initiative mis- expert
ence makes possible.
