  SURE TO DEFEAT PENN Fielding II. Yost, Michigans great football tutor, sat in a seat on Franklin Field Saturday and saw the Carlisle Indians drive over and around the Pennsylvania eleven, pushing it far ther into the mire of disgrace into which it was thrown by Brown and Penn State. 1t is doubtful if he saw anything in that game to shake his confidence In the hopes of the Wolverines In the annual battle between them and the Quakers. Despite Michigan s failure to win from Syracuse last Saturday, Yost Is sure that Cornell will be beaten next Saturday at Ithaca, and that Penn will also be humbled a week later at Ann Arbor. That will be glory enough for Yost and Michigan. Michigan Is the only Western eleven or caliber to meet Eastern teams. This came about as a result of internal dis sensions in the Conference AsSocia ton following the season of 1905 North western abandoned football for five Years and Wisconsin adopted a schcdule of but five games. Training tables were abolished and real championship games were not allowed. Almost with out exception, WGst1rn teams agreed not to meet the Wolv vc”!ncs. whose Sue cess upon the gritlIr,n f”r five years past had been wonderful. Michigan then entered into football relations with Pennsylvania. Five games have been played by them now, pennsylvania winning three, losing one and teing one.
