Show ROSE NOT LIKELY TO PLAY WITH MICHIGAN Ralph Rose, who has got in so badly with the athletic authorities of the University Uni-versity of Michigan, made a talk to the sporting writer of the New York World Just before his departure for the West that was laughable. He said with the utmost confidence that be will play on the Michigan football team next fall. It would -be interesting to know what Coach Yost thinks about that proposition. No man under a coach like Yost is sure of a place on the team. The noted coach makes every man prove his worth, and every candidate has a fair show to prove what he can do. Moreover, it is a well-known well-known fact that when Rose waa tried out last fall he was a frost of the first water and was released from the squad because be-cause he did not show the nerve requisite for a football player. Now. there have been great players who were not strong men. and not fast and of light weight, but there has never been a football player play-er worthy of the name who did not have nerve. Yost Is by no means ignorant of this, and it la a 100 to 1 shot' that Rose will never get closer to a place on the Michigan team than the side lines. |
