“Hurry-Up” Yost on the Gridiron
New York.— ,Man> amusing stories
are told concerning "Hurry-Up-- Yost,
Ihe cro/it Michigan coach. to show
tluit l.e Is m hurry-up person in overy
thlnu lio dor: and that he has abso
lutely no patience with delays.
t tiirr upon u time Yost Invited a
friend to visit him at a place where
he was camping. The friend arrived
In due time and Yost met him with a
buggy and pror reded to drive the
ft tend to the camp. Yost drove his
horse like h drives his footballers—
fast and still faster.
In due course of time Ihe buggy
leached a small creek and Yost, in
stead of drlvhiK n half mile for a
bridge. drove moose the little stream.
It was a time-saving process. The
horses were going at a great slip. The
buggy wheels Htruek a rock and the
buggy nearly upset. Yost's friend was
thrown out of the bugggy and into the
creek.
Yost, who had been busily engaged
in talking and drlvipß at the same
time, noticed the absence of his friend
until he reached the other side of thk
creek. Then he pulled hla horses
down to a Jor. looked hack, and saw
Ins friend wallowing in a deep pool
in the creek.
"Hey. whatlnhell are you delaying
things for any way?" yelled Yost.
"Hustle upand get out of that creek.
Can’t wait alt day."
THERE'S A LOT IN THE MAKE-UP
F W f *° s * j-6/AP I
.....
On another occasion Yost invited
the same friend to go hunting with
him. Aflcr Yost and hts friend had
tramped about 20 miles through the
snow covered forest the friend was
reduced to a slate Tis utter exhaus
tion.
l.ets start hack, suggested the
friend.
“Start hack?” exclaimed Yost. "Why
we've Just got started. Come on!
About four miles up there's some good
hunting."
"Nix," answered his friend. “I can't
go any further. I'nt all In.”
"All right," answered Yost “You
lay down and rest in the snow. I’ll
he hack presently.”
And lost -was off. leaving his ex
hausted friend lying In the deep snow.
In about Hit hour or so Y'ost came
hack, loaded with game, and without
a word of inquiry as to how his
friend felt, said:
"Well, let's hustle hack now. It
isn't far to walk- only about 10 miles
In a direct route."
Y'ost is a physical wonder. Years
of outdoor life have hardened his
muscle and made him a man of Iron,

him must give his best right down to
the last ounce. But Yost asks more
of his men than he can do himself.
YALE 1 MOST
CONSISTENT
WINNER
Football Records of Large Col
leges Since Beginning of
Game Show Wonderful Record
of the Blue.
New York. A glanrp at the football
records of all the big colleges since the
game was imVodiued snows what a won
derful record has been made by Yale.
Other college elevens have at times
performed some startling stunts, but no
elevens, over a long stretch of years
have been as consistent winners as the
elevens that have fought under the blue
standard of Yale.
Football first was played at Ya'e in
1872, and since that time up to today’s
gime Yale mingled In 384 gridiron bat
tles Yale won 841 of those 384 games
was led in 19 others and only 24 time?
over a stretch of 42 years have the Ya’e
colors been lowered in defeat.
Vale has averaged defeat on on aver
age of about once in two years. Yale
in 381 gwmes has lost but 24- -an aver
age of 15 victories to every defeat. Oer
tainly Yale's footbalT record is a glori
ous one.
Yale Champions.
r'ince the game of football has been
played Yale lias won the undisputed
championship twelve thn a and on
twelve other occasions it went through
the season unbeaten but because one or
two tther teams were unbeaten during
those years bale’s calm to the champ
ionship was disputed.
Neither Harvard or Princeton, the
powerful rivals of Yale have records that
‘•an compare with Yale's when all things
.ve taken into consideration. Trinceton
begun playing football in 18G!j and Harv
ard took up the game in 1574. Prince
tens record for 48 years including the
complete record for 1914 shows 359
games played, and of these 3)G were vic
tories, 39 ended in defeats and 11 were
tied.
Harvard since 1874 and up lo today's
battle with Yale Ins played 360 games.
Of these 302 were victories, 47 defeats
and eleven were tied.
Consider Facts.
But these facts must be taken into
consideration. Yale bus played against
both Harvard and Princeton almost each
year since she started footballing while
Princeton and Harvard broke off athletic
relations for a stretch of neaVly 20 years.
That meant that during those 20 years
Yale played its two strongest foes each
year, while Harvard and Princeton play
ed only against Yale. Had Harvard and
Princeton fought against each other
during ; II the years that they have been
footballing, it is certain that the record
of each would have shown more defeats.
Rutgers, the little New Jersey college.
j began playing football in 1869—the same
' ear as Princeton and those two col
i leges are the pioneers in the football
| world.
Michigan was the first college in the
west to adopt football, taking up the
game, in IS7S.
FINAL GIES~IN
WESTERN W
Honors of “Big Nine” Cham
pionship Hinge on Today’s
Game-- Many Other Im
portant Contests.
n,
Chicago.—Final games of the season
were on the western football schedule
today. On the Wisconsin-Illinois bat
t>* at Madison hinged the honors of the
“big nine” championship. In Chicago,
Minnesota was ready to meet the crip-
P-ed University of Chicago eleven in a
game to decide second place honors for
the western conference.
The lowa Nebraska contest at lowa
City will have an important bearing on
the championship west of the Mississip
pi. The Nebraska eleven, which ex
perts regard as one of the best scoring
elevens in the West* is expected to tri
umph ovr the lighter but fast lowa ele
ven. Nebraska, it was pointed otu nas
scored 15$ points in games this season,
while their opponents have ma.de only
twenty-one.
Illinois, which has gone th?*ough the
season without a defeat, was confident
of winning the “big nine” honors in the
game with Wisconsin.
Northwestern will close the most dis
astrous season in years by meeting Ohio
State at Columbus. Northwestern has
not won a conference game, its only vic
tory of the season being over Lake For
est. Indiana and Purdue will clash with
La Fayette in a contest that promises to
.he bitterly fought because of the rivalry
between the two universities.

Day By Riders in Six-day
Race Carried Leaders Nearly
1 25 Miles Ahead.
New York.—The swift pace main
tained during the early morning by
rides in the six day race carried the
leaders nearly 25 miles ahead of the
previous record at 8 o’clock this

to eight teams, six of which were tied
j for first place at 2,506 miles and four
laps.
The team of Thomas and Hanley
was retired at 6:16 o’clock this morn
ing after Thomas had failed to find a
partner within four hours after Han
ley had dropped out of the race. YVal
thour and Halstead retired at the
same time. Announcement was made
soon thereafter that Piercy and Han
sen and Mitten and Anderson, two of
the rear guard teams would be retir
ed. Both had dropped out of the race,
apparently convinced they had no
chance of winning.
Frequent sprints and spills enliven
ed the last day’s riding. At 8 o'clock
this morning the cyclists had been
pedalling for 128 hours and had but
14 hours to ride. They were then go
ing strong and indications were that
the distance between the old record
and the one in the making would be

SAY PUGILISTS NOT
LACKING IN PATRIOTISM
London.—Somebody's complaint about
the lack of*patriotism among the pugil
ists, has brought out a spirited letter
from a boxing editor, who says that
were he to give a list of all the pro
fessional boxers who have joined the
colors since the declaration of war he
would have to fill several newspaper
columns. He gives a few names of
men who have exchanged the twenty,
four foot ring for a less circumscribed
arena They are worth recording:
•'Dick Smith, our light-heavy-weight
champion; Bandsman Rice, challenger
for that title; Bandsman Blake, who
may be said to have a really sound
chance of annexing the middle-weight
belt; Pat O’Keefe, the actual holder;
Tom McCormick and Johnny Basham,
hoth nf whom have been promised
chances of contesting for the welter
weight title: Petty Officer Curran, one
nf our leading heavyweights. Seaman
Hayes, the famous feather-weight, with
a host of engagements; Symonds, of
Plymouth, a practical certainty for fly
weight honors.” e
