LARDNER' Jk w RING LARDNER AIDS MICHIGAN TO LEAVE GLOOMY ANN ARBOR "Yost Has Greatest Team Ever" Brings Forth Merry Ha! Ha! From Evening Ledger Writer. RING W. LARDNER Famous writer who is "covering" Harvard-Michigan football game for the Evening Ledger. ; By RING W. LARDNEB !I ST. THOMAS, Canada, Oct. 2D. "Tho greatest football team ever developed In the West ' Is on ltn way to Cambridge. "The greatest football team over dc- doped In tho West" Is what this year's Michigan bunch was called In a Itoston paper which was circulating nromid Ann Arbor before Yost and his younff men left there yesterday. That tho Boston writer was perfectly accurate In so styllns the Wolverines Is tho firm conviction of everybody except the entire population of the United States and Canada. This piece In tho paper, which later on stated that Michigan was "outclassed" by Syracuse last Satur day, that Harvard should beat Michigan by at least two touchdowns without showing anything but old stylo footfall, and that Maulbetsch was a heavy half back, had ono good effect. It made Yost laugh and kept him In good humor alt day when otherwise he might have been a disagreeable traveling companion. Whether tho Michigan team Is the wests greatest or, not. It is, as pre viously hinted, on Its way to Cambridge or rather to Auburndale, where It will be housed until Saturday afternoon. Tho departure from Ann Arbor was attended by the usual send-off ceremonies, the Undent body doing all In Its power to simulate confidence In tho team's ability to lick Harvard, a confidence which docs not exist. Tho football players probably were cheered by tho display of enthusi asm, but at the same tlmo knew per fectly well that the rooters wcro trying to hide their real feeling, which Is one of hopelessness. Since the Syracuse game almost every Michigan man, except the members of the team, has given up. If tho students knew how the athletes themselves felt they might bo ablo to shake off pome of their gloom, for the footballlsts really think they havo an even chanco to down the Crimson, provided, of course, that the regulars lust through the greater part of the game. The varsity squad, listed yesterday, plus Mr. Millard, was on the train (int Issued out of Ann Arbor at 2:42 o'clock, to the accompaniment of Michigan cheers. The bunch was In chargo of Yost, the assistant coach, Hugh White; Farrell. the trainer; Muehlhead, the as sistant trainer; Jack Leonard, tho man ager, and Dean M. T. Cooloy. Director Bartelmo nnd tho scrub will follow tomorrow on the students' upeclnl. Tomorrow's tialn will consist of ono car of nlumnl from Chicago, ono of students and the scrub from Ann Arbor, two of sraduates from Detroit, ono each of al'imnl now resident of Grand Rnplds and Toledo, nnd one containing the university Land. The hind has II members, anil as they are slaved to travel In one Pullman It Is expected that somo of them will have to sleep in the horns or on the bass drum. The train reaches Aubnrndnlo tomor row morning, as I may havo stated once or twine before. Tho students' special will arrive at Boston on Friday, and on that night there will bo a Michigan snnker at the Copley Tlaza Hotel. The speakers for that occasion nre Denn Coo ej' Bill Day nnd J. P. Murfln. Bill Day Is prohaoly the best known Michigan moter In the i-ountry. He Is an ex-Judgo and a won of Justico Day, of the Supremo Court. To the astonishment of the varsity squad, orders were Issued for a final sig nal practice nn Ferry Field this morning nil the players were at It until they had tr le t0 make ,ho ,raln- Ilut we nro uff, finally, nnd there's no chance to nrae- a lice again until tomorrow. or more than one reason I nm glad to have been In Ann Arhor-but for ono "Mwrtiiulur.

There was some talk of can celing tho game because tho collegians wero not satisfied with the guarantee offered, but a satisfactory agreement was made. Tho Crimson and Gold men aro being drilled especially In tho breaking up of a forward pass, as It was by using this play continually that Williamson made possible their only score. Since Northeast Is reputed to be very proficient In this department of the game. Doctor Howell wants his men to bo very well prepared for It when tho two schools meet In their championship game. Central High supporters are much pleased at tho showing of Thomas and Voss. Tho former did not do so well In the first games, but In tho Williamson contest tore through the opposing line for repeated gains. Voss Is a new man who Is attracting attention through his kick ing ability.

I ArllrMi K nton jpjV " keaslagtoa avenu"', gr cU By EDWARD K. BUSHNELL "Tho best team that Cornell has had in years" was the characterization of one Pennsylvania man to the Quaker coach ing staff after he had seen tho Ithacans run through the Carlisle Indians by tho scoro of 21-0 and again swamp Brown 2S-7. This means that Doctor Sharpo's cloven has aroused deep respect In tho Pennsylvania camp In spite of tho In glorious opening, when two games wero lost on successive Saturdays. Tho opinion Is getting more and moro general that Cornell Is going to bo a ntlghty dangerous foo on Thankslving Hay. There Isn't tho slightest doubt about .tho strength of tho Ithacans right now. They aro playing the running, rushing game, varied with fomard pasies, and they haven't begun to reach their top speed. There Is ono danger Cornell runs, and that is that tho schedule of remaining games Is not a strong one. There Is only ono strong opponent before Penn sylvania. That Is Michigan, whose team is met at Ithaca on November II. Thero aro two ,ensy jameH before Michigan Is met. On Saturday Cornell's opponent la Holy Cross, and- the week following Franklin and Marshall goes to Ithaou. Neither team should furnish much op position for Cornell. In spite of tho fact that Frankllng and Marshall beat Penn sylvania. Mention hns heen made in theso columns liefore that Cornell's 1IU f-che.lulo wna not proiwrly eriiilunled. Willi the exception of the Michigan and Cornell camH nt the end of the season tho first three tiueka rontalne.l the hardest euni?s In other words Cornell htiM not l,een pormlttfd to prow grnilunlly stronger with ench smcesslve game. t may he that tho easy games which Cornell is now pin) Ins may hrlng the team' up to tho Michigan nn.1 Pennsylvania games In tho very test nf ph steal condlilon. ltut hard games, provided they don't result In Injuries, aro the heat kind of prnctlee. One thing is certain and that Is that Pennsylvania won't ho over conlMent of heatln? Cornell this ear. This Pennsylvania eleven comlnuev to he an enigma to its roaches In that It doesn't show consistent offensive strength Fron. tackle to taekle the team nverages 2un pounds or more. The ends are light, hut the tmik fleld has nn average amount of weight and speed. And yet In five games the team has soured enautly fit points, or an average of less than 0 points per game, it Is douhtful If such a record could he found of another I'nnlvanla team In the last '.'0 ears. In tho old dljs Quaker teams used to score this many points In ono of tho preliminary games alone. it Is evident that tho team hasn't found It self et. hut the followers nf the lied and Illue are hoping the team gels Into Its stride pretty soon. In the practices the team seems to put lots of tight Into the play, hut ther has boen something lacking in every game to Hate. Home of the coaches think the difficulty la thai the eleven contains so many green men. As a matter of fact thero are In the present line-up only two men who wero regulars last year. They are Captain Journeay at centra and Harris at tackle. It takes lots of time to round out a team of this tj-pe and possibly the Quaker rooters will he rewarded by om sterling football In November. It Is fo lie hoped that Pennsylvania can start the regular backfleld. Including Vree land, against Swarthmore. It is not that Kuarthmore Is eipected ta be so strong, but the team certainly needs the sort of con fidence that conies from having scor4 touch downs, and It would be a good thing for the team's sulrii against Michigan to play Its hardest In this game. Possibly Kwarthmor will see that I'ennlvunla does that. CAMIIRirwiR, Mass.. Oct. 20. The Harvard varsliy football team, which has been coddled along for weeks, got baik Into the game yes terday and there was n long session of old fashioned football behind the scrt practice gates, on Soldier' Field.

The big team showed moro snap to ItH work yesterday with the advent of cool weatlnr. Two touch downs wero run up against the scrubs and a third one a lost after Coffin, of the varsity hnckfleld. fumbled when tncklod under the scrub goal posts. Fumbling- made Its reap pearance ut rather too frequent Intervals ull through tho wurk-out, Coffin und O'Haro of fending In punlculur. Tho scrlmmago was n. liar.! one. All the regulars were back In their places except McKwnn, who haa not yyot re ported for dun. Ollnhant only lasted five minutes, when his bad knee got another Jolt and he wus obliged to give way to Coffin, ANNAPOLIS, Md., Oct. 211. The Navy coaches appear to he developing two backflelds. one suitable for the smashing, llno-breaklng game and the other moio adapted to the fast running game. To make up the former, big X'lilllng wus brought back from the scrul whero he has U-en for tho lust week, nnd with niodgett. H. Harrison and Miles, made up a backfleld which averages about 1HU pounds. Later. Collins and Alexander, two of the fustest men In tho squad, were at the halves for soma time.

If the col le?lans are better than club men. the result will bo to raise the standard of the club men. lake the game of tennis.
