"HUERY UP" YOST
ON SHAKY EAETH
LIKE B. FOLWELL
Epidemic to Oust Football
Coaches Appears to Have
Broken Out,
Ann Arbor, Mich., Jan. SI. (I. N.
S.) Almost simultaneously with the
report from Philadelphia, that CoacTi
Folwell of the Pennsylvania football
team had been fired, a suggestion
from Professor J. J. Cox, head of the
highway engineering department, came
intimating that the same fate may j
be meted out , to Coach "Hurry Up"
Yost of the Michigan football team.
It appears as though an epidemic
to oust football coaches at the various
universities has broken loose.
Maurice Dunne, quarterback on the
varsity, son of former Governor Dunne
of Illinois, recently published a state
ment blaming coeds and pink teas for
the university's poor showing in ath
letics, and resulted in Professor Vox
issuing a statement. H said Dunne's
statement that university men have
been more Interested in '"fussing" than
playing football was not wholly re
sponsible for last fall's football rec
ord, but declared that a change in the
coaching system is needed. He Inti
mated strongly that he favored the
removal of Yost as Michigan's coach.
"Yost har been ft.gfeat coach," said
Professor Cox; "however, le cannot
expect to carry on a series of suc
cesses year after year without get
ting new coaching ideas."
Professor Cox alleges that Yost's
"peculiar characteristics" have proven
injurious to the football team.
PENN'S LEGISLATIVE
MEMBERS PROTEST IN
FOOTBALL SQUABBLE
Philadelphia. Jan. 31. a. K S.)
Coach Folwell's "Up and at 'em" foot
ball policy has taken hold of the whole
studei.t body at the University of
Pennsylvania, in protest against the
action of the faculty committee on
athletics at the institution in eliminat
ing Folwell's name as an eligible for
the position of head football coath
next season.
The Pennsylvanlan, the organ of the
student body, which had suspended
publication on account of mid-year ex
aminations, put the typos to w-ork and
sorted up the type, preparatory to get
ting out extras today if the autaori
ties do not reverse themselves in re
gard to Folwell.
The committee will meet today, and
if it fails to reconsider its action, a
revolt is in prospect among the stu
dents, to force, if possible, the return
of their idol to his place at the head
of football affairs.
Members of legislature Protest.
The biggest feature of the fight over
Folwell was a protest received from
members of the legislature who are
graduates of the university, which
reads as follows:
"We, the undersigned, former stu
dents of the University of Pennsyl
vania, respectfully urge that Robert C.
Folwell shall not be deposed as foot
ball coach without first giving him a
fair opportunity to refute any charges
that may have been made against
him."
Coach Folwell had a conference with
Professor Edgar Smith of the univer
sity today, and when he came out, said
he "had a very satisfactory talk with
the provost."
Hurt Pasadena Boys' reelings.
Football players who suspect that
Folwell's actions on the Pacific coast
trip , of the team is the cause of the
dismissal, declared that the feelings
of alumni at Pasadena. Cal.. were
hurt by the brusqueness of Folwell.
who shut himself in to avoid crowds
of the curious.
It was inferred that Folwell did
little character building for the mem
bers or tne team, and for that reason
he was not desired as coach for an-
otner j'ear.
It also was hinted that compliments
were received from certain alumni in
tne west about things that transpired
while the team was training in Cali
fornia for the game with Oregon.

O'Connell's Opponent Said to
Be Strong as Original
Samson.
Though he has been wrestling the
catch-as-catch-can style but a little
over six months, John Viedhof Is con
fident of pinning the shoulders of
Eddie O'Connell to the mat In the Pose
City Athletic club Friday night. Vied
hof, who is an Icelander, is as strong
as an ox, and he is depending upon
his strength to bring him victory.
Before tackling the catch-as-catch-
can style, Viedhof used the Graeco-
Roman style, which is the popular
form of wrestling across the pond.
Viedhof, who is about O'Connell's size,
is said to be one of the strongest in
dividuals who has been out in this
section since Atlas was a kid. His
friends say it is nothing for him to
pick up the front end of an automo
bile and keep it hoisted while the Jack
screws are being fitted Into position
Viedhof is an automobile mechanic's
helper. It is said on gospel that the
Icelander doesn't confine his lifting
ability to flivvers, but tackles the ?.
cylinder boys. It is believed Eddie
must win by using tricks.
Singularly enough, neither O Connell
nor Viedhof is caring particularly
whether there are 12 or 1200 people
out to see them wrestle. They are
wrestling for a $500 purse, and they
Ket a flat rRte for their services from
the promoters of the match. This fact
alone assures the match being one of

STRANGE IDEAS
OF BASKETBALL
EXIST AT W. S. C.
Bofer Thinks Game With 0,
A, C; Will Not Count in
Percentage,
Oregon Agricultural College. Corvai
lis. Jan. 31. Surprise Is felt here
among the officials of the athletic de
partment at the assertion of J. F.
Bohler, director of athletics at Wash
ington State college, that the coming
game between O. A. C. and the Pull-
manites here will not count on the
percentage standing of the teams in
deciding the coast championship.
It was the understanding of both Dr
Browne and Coach May that the
champions of the three states were to
play a series of games wit-h each other
and that the championship of the coast
was to be reckoned on that basis.
Under this system. O. A. C. W. S. O.
and the California champions wouM
each play four games, two with each
opposing team, and the rhamponshir
would be determined on the outcome
of these contests.
Bohler Gives Hew Ugat.
A letter from Bohler which has just
been received here, presents an entirelv
different theory as to the plan adopted
for the basketball season
n. His c'.aim
in to be deter-
is that the championship
mined by the result of games between
O. A. C. W. S. C, Stanford and Califor- j
nia. In addition to this, instead o.
playing the two games scheduled here.
for February 9 and 10, the Pullman di
rector has announced the cancellation
of one date in favor of the Multnomah
club, and declares that the result of
the other game will have no bearing on
the championship.
"I fall to understand Washington
State's position," said Coach May to
day. "Why should both Stanford and
California be counted in for the cham
pionship series? Neither Washington
nor Oregon universities, the losers n
the state contests up here, receive this
recognition, and there seems to be no
reason why the losers in California
should be treated any differently.
How Could Title Be Bet?
"Again, in the event that both north
ern teams should win an equal number
of games in California, how coiild the
championship be settled without a con
tt or nerles of contests between W.
S. C. and our team? I think the origi
nal plan of playing two decisive gamea
here with Washington State ought to
be carried out If the coast champion
ship Is to be settled on a fair basis."
If Bohler's plan were to be carried
out, it would mean that the champion
ship would be decided by the relative
showing of the two colleges against the
California institutions. In this, W. S.
C. would have a great advantage, as
their team will go south first and will
give the southerners their first taste
of high-class collegiate basketball for
the season. By the time O. A. C.
makes the trip, both Stanford and Cali
fornia Will be hardened and experi
enced by the contests with the Wash
ington team and will be In much bet
ter shap to put up a hard battle wltn
the Oregonlans.
