This was to be Isabelle's moment, her

Ivan flung himself across Mamie's

Isabelle did not speak. She swept
him with glance that was wearied of

the boys legs, half covered by rug.
He did not notice her change of ex-

the Stanford team quit with IA min

boys from Palo Alto said they had
Used up all their men and left the

That was the Michigan "point-a-
minute" team, led by bulldog jawed
Willie HestOn, who got three touch
downs against Stanford in the game
that started the intersectional series
which Southern Cal and Tennessee
will continue on Monday.
Mr. Yost, who still is actively en-
gagged in the business of football
after all these years, has no pa
tience with the brittleness of mo-
dern day players.
Amy boy in the proper condition
can play full game of football, -
he told me. They speak of a sixty
minute player as if he were an
iron man. There isn't any such
thing as a sixty minute player A
man who plays through an entire
game is a fourteen minute player,
because that is the average time
during the game that the ball is in
play. Anyone in shape should be
able to play that long, especially
when he has two hours and q half
or so to spread it over"
Mr.. Yost hadn't any explanation
for the inability of the modern
player to take it, or for his being
subject to so many injuries
"All I know" he said, rs that
in the old days we didn't have the
ten thousand and one injuries that
we have today. If we had had, we
simply couldn't have played foot
ball, because we didn't have so many
substitutes
The Michigan veteran doesn't be-
lieve that the changes in the game
are responsible.
Football was just as bruising and
just as rugged in 1862 as it is today.
Moreover, equipment then wasn't
as good as 1t is now. But the boys
didn't seem to mind it,

to victory over the AriZonans.
Armstrong developed a hard run
ming attack with good blocking and
straight off tackle power plays. He
worked out a fundamental passing
offense to vary the attack and he
stressed tackling until the Arab
defense was almost impenetrable.
Only four touchdowns were made
AGAINST e. Centre during the entire
season.
Il was Armstrong; second season
as head of the junior college foot
ball team and he lived up to the
reputation he built as head coach
al e. Centre high school a few
years back. Last season his team
scored three victories, was defeated
twice and held to a deadlock once.
Before Armstrong took the helm
the junior college annual record
looked like that of Knox college
during its football famine.
So pay q tribute to Coach Robert
Armstrong, a hard working, sharp

turning out a football team which

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3d. up
It was at the big kickoff luncheon
that is given each year in Pasadena
Just before the Rose Bowl game.
An audience OF more than 1890
listened to some of the best coaches
IN the country-Lou Little Pop
Warner, Alonzo Stagg, Bo McMil-
Ian. Babe Horrell and Harry Stuhl-
dreher-discuss the chances Of
Southern California and Tennessee
on New Years day.
There was talk OF the Trojans'
great power, generated by a squad
of sixty young giants, and of the
importance of such manpoWer in
football as it is played today. There
was talk of Tennessee'S COmpara-
lively small force OF only 35, and
whether it would be sufficient for
such an undertaking as the Rose
Bowl.
The effects of climate, travel,
change in water and food, injuries,
psychology, condition Of the playing
field, the direction of the wind,
and heaVen knows what else, were
discussed, and earnestly too.
A listener could not help but feel
that readying a football team for
a Rose Bowl victory was almost
TO Herculean for mortal man.
There was a tap on my elbow and
the man seated next to me pulled
a faded photograph from his pocket
and handed it TO me.
Wonder what they'd think of
this as a Rose Bowl squad - he
asked.
1t was a picture Of fifteen boys,
in turtle neck sweaters, perched
all over an old surrey, which was
sparsely decorated with flowers
That's the first Rose Bow, team,

H. Yost. Fifteen boys from the
University Of Michigan, and the pic
ture was taken the morning after
the game which We spent as part
Of the parade. There was a good
deal Of talk when we brought a
squad of that size. Some people
thought it was extravaganza It was,

was concerned, because we used
only eleven men. Those that started
