Yost Springs New Football Stunt.

Coach Yost of Michigan, who is always devising something new in football tactics or training methods, has sprung a new one on Michigan by introducing baseball tactics into the game. As the speedy, clean handling of the football is a great essential in the new game, he has taught every man to play a game in which nine players were placed tnr each side, and the regular baseball diamond used. The pitcher tossed a regulation football to the batter, who, instead of hitting it with a bat, caught it and threw it as far as possible in an effort to make a base. The regulation rules of baseball were observed throughout.
