  MICHIGAN VICTORY OVER SYRACUSE BRINGS HOPE Alumni Now Give Yost’s Men Chance to Win From Old Rivals, Pennsy and Minnesota. Michigan men throughout the country held many a JOllification Saturday night over the 43 to score against Syracuse. “Can il be that Yost’s machine is back to the form shown from 1901 to 1857 was the question asked While some of the younger alumni were of the opinion that such was the fact, older heads were not SO sanguine. Like Coach Yost ard the student body. they fear the Pennsylvania and Minnesoia games with Notre Dame is not to be overlooked While the Syracuse score is big and more than evens up for the defeat of 1905 the present Syracuse eleven is not TO be considered among the strong est teams Of the east 1t is true thai Yale could make but three tOuchdOWnS against Syracuse, but the early games for Yale fail by long odds to show the full strength OF the New Haven eleven. The defeat of Chicago by Minnesota, and by a score that was decisive, is another reason for worry for the Ann Arbor eleven-. The game at Minneapolis bore out for once Papa Stages bear stories; For the past two weeks the Maroon head predicted defeat for his team. OF course he was trying to instill as much overconfidence as possible in the Minnesota camp and to send his men into the fray with n full understanding Of the task before them. The Minnesota Michigan game will be the first meeting of the two elevens since the memorable s to game Of 1903, which left the rivalry intense and the feeling strong between the two schools. That the game will be one of the most interesting in the middle west is assured, and the record crowd Of the year may be count ed on. over the prospects of the Maize and Blue, and the prospects of victories over Penn syIvania and Minnesota are looked upon in the light of a good fighting chance.
