Joe Explains

Yost’s System Of T hree ‘Ps’

Letters Stand for Punt, Pass And Prayer,” Williams Writes.

BY JOE WILLIAMS mes Special Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—The boys are speculating on the part Hunk Anderson is to play in Michigan football. This, it must be admitted, is quite natural. The system evolved by Yost and carried on by those who have succeeded him as head coach and served under him since he became athletic director was known as the “Three-P” system. Reading from left to right the three “Ps” stood for the punt, the pass and the

men were not. | Indeed, when, a few years ago, Happy Kipke, the current football chief at Ann Arbor, experienced a good year and thus was able to sell his name and his ghost writer's stuff to one of the leading maga- | zines, he made no bones about boasting of the efficacy of this| Michigan system.

Travel Both Directions

That Michigan has traveled far | with its “three-P” scheme cannot | be denied. It traveled upward as | far as it could go in the Western |

| Conference and it has traveled | downward as far as it could go in | that same league. Attaining the | utmost goal in opposite directions | is something out of the ordinary | for any system. During its upward movemer..S— | and Michigan has claimed more Big | Ten titles than any other member of that conference—its victories via the punt, pass and prayer system | were not always conclusive. The | Wolverines often were out-rushed and out-statistic-ed in other de- | partments. There were not wherein the praver seemed to be doing all the work—bring the breaks which set up Michigan scores and | turning the tricks which robbed the enemy of seemingly sure victory.

a few games

Even Prayer Ceased to Work

Before some, of Kipke's boastful articles took form in type,

do business. As a result Michigan | teams have been found at or near | the foot of the Big Ten class dur- | ing the past two years—and that hasn't peen fun for Michigan, for Yost or for Kipke. In announcing of Hunk Anderson as line coach for 1937, however, came no statement of any plated change in the Michigan foot- | ball system. So far terances are concerned, the public was invited to believe the “Three-P” scheme would continue in operation. Public speculation has come in the effort to fit Hunk into the established Michigan system. If Hunk was a Leroy Mills he might do something about the punting. But Hunk has had no noteworthy success in the development of kickers. Besides, Harry Kipke, | who was quite a booter in his undergraduate days, like to handle the kickers himself,

Michigan's there

Not Exponent of Pass

If Hunk were a leading exponent of the forward pass he might be of | value in that phase of the “three-P” system. But again you find that Hunk has no sensational achievements, where certain Michigan graduates—Benny Friedman, for example | —have made their reputations as exponents of aerial football. That would leave only the prayer department of the Yost-Kipke system as the spot for Hunk to func- | tion and there is little in the way of available records to indicate that Hunk is a howling success as a | prayer. Certainly such prayers as | he made to the powers that be at | North Carolina State in the matter | of a renewal of his contract there | as head coach served no particular | purpose. | And because such is the case with | each of the three “P's” not a few | of the football wise are predicting | Michigan's departure from the | “Three-P” system this year and its | adoption of a scheme of play in| which certain features of the Rockne or Notre Dame system will be found. |

Never Caught Kneeling

No doubt the Irish linemen of the Rockne era who were coached hy Anderson did their share of praying. It is quite possible their prayers had to do with football. But, to make the Notre Dame grade as linemen, they had to show a prac-| tical as well as a prayerful grasp of | the situation once a game was under way and act accordingly. They never were caught kneeling once the starting signal had been uttered, or, if | they were, they promptly were ordered to the sidelines. Their job was that of opening holes in the enemy vanguard or feinting at the opposing lineman and then dashing past him to clean out the secondary for the longgainers in which Rockne teams specialized and which made those teams the outstanding elements in the land year after year.

Guards Picked for Size

Altered playing rules and greater |

familiarity with the Rockne system have come since King Knute's passing. Where, 4n his day, guards could be picked for. spced alone, they now must have size and it is

rare that a big guard is found who | is as fast and as nifty as some of |

Irish Spoiled Season

The Michigan move is noteworthy for another reason. When, in 1909, Michigan last met Notre | Dame on the gridiron and had an otherwise all - winning season
