Raic­atioa Caases AIarm-Ma,Accept CoDtract.BUSINESS INTERESTS EXTENSIVEIn Bartelme's Absence Position ofAuthorities on ContemplatedAction Not Known.The annual rumor of Coach Yost'sresignation is again abroad at Michi­gan. He has 'a�ked for thirty daysin which to' co�sideF-,. a business con­tract which has been offered- him, and,according to' The iIichigan Daily,unless things break 'right Michiganmay lose its great coach. No wordon Yost's contemplated action hasbeen received from the authorities onaccount of the fact that Director Bar­telme has not returned to Ann Arbor.Yost, whose home is in Tennessee,has had exte�siv� b�siness intereststhere as well as in other places in theSouth. He - has been football coachat Michigan for ten years, in whichtime he 'has gained a reputation asone of the best football coaches inthe country. This year his outsideinterests have doubled in importanceso that he may not hereafter have suf­ficient time to devote to his coaching.While similar rumors come up eachyear, the present one has caused realalarm at Michigan.The question is discussed in a re­cent issue of The Michigan Daily;"Michigan may be=witbout Yostnext year. Though, the rumor comesup each year, this time there seemsto be cause for real alarm, inasmuch.. as he has requested thirty days inwhich to -decide whether to acceptthe .contract . that has· been offeredhim. Business or urgent kind hasbeen pressing the great football in­structor and this year lit has re­doubled in importance, so that thematter is doubtful to say the- least.Unless things break right, Michiganmay. suffer the crowning blow, and'lose its great coach.Rumored All Season."All this season there have been ru­mors that it was Yost's -last year butthe campus refused to believe it, forMichigan without Yost would seemto be lost. For ten years Yost hasturned out team after team, eachmaking Michigan 'history, and eachyear has multiplied his successes un-·til he has gained the reputation of be­ing one of the greatest if not thegreatest coach in the country. Michi­gan has relied on him at all times,and the thought of losing him bringsa realization of disaster."Owing to the fact that DirectorBartelme is 'still out of the dty theposition of the authorities on thequestion js not known. It is safeto _say, however, that he is wanted,or the contract would not have beenoffered. The coach himself is theauthority for the statement that hehas asked for thirty days to considerthe matter and make up his mind. Inthe meanwhile the Michigan campus,the alumni, and Michigan followersthroughout the country will be on theanxious seat."WiII Read From Deuteronomy.An interpretative reading of Den-• teronomy will be given tomorrow at'I in the lecture room of the HydePark Baptist church by ProfesscrRichard Green Moulton, of the de­partment of literary theory and inter­pretation and head .of the departmentof general literature.

Student Opinion Divided Over Re­taining New System - Prices AreCut One- Third-Plan Will Be Usedat Noon Only."Never again. The old system'sgood enough for me.""The best yet. It's a wonder theydidn't do it long ago."The' Commons has become a cafe­teria and the above sentiments wereheard around the crmpus yesterdayafternoon. The new system is '0) begiven a trial for the next two weeksto see if it is practicable, and to) de­termine whether the men prefer lowprices to service."We an! now offering the lowestprices in the city," said Mr. Barrels,manager of the.Commons, yesterday."Food is now sold to the students atrock-bottom prices which we defyanyone to beat. For example, we arenow selling more beef for a dimethan is sold at any of the downtowncafeterias for 12 cents and our meatsare much better as a rule than theirs."Only Used at Luncheons.For the present, at least, the cafe­teria will be used only for the noonmeal. Among its advantages, accord­ing to Mr. Barrels, is that it cuts theexpense incurred by having too manywaiters. Many of them do practicallynothing except at the rush hours be­tween 12 and 1.The prices yesterday werc as fol-lows:Clam chowder, 3c.Roast beef, lOc.Fried halibut steak. lOc.Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, IOc.Pork and beans, 7c.Mashcd potatoes, 2c.Squash,3c.June peas, 3c.Combination salad, 3c.Pudding and pies, per cut, 4c.Sauces, 3c.Cake square, Sc.Fruit, 5c.Boiled rice, 3c.Milk toast, 7c.Half and half with crackers, 10c.Sandwiches, 4c.2 slices of bread, lc.1 butter, lc."Drinks, 3c.I ce cream, 4c.Sliced tomatoes, 7c.It was pointed out by many ofthe men who were in the habit of or­dering the 25-cent meal that now theyhave to pay 27 cents, besides havingthe inconvenience of waiting on them-selves for the same food. -Those who favored the new systemwere enthusiastic over the advantageof seeing what they get and over thereduction in prices on ClVerythill�This view was noticed especiallyamong the men who go home at nightfor their principal meal.A feature of the new system is thatthe number of student waiters atnoon has been cut from over twentyto eight: Mr. Barrels said yesterdaythat this is the chier' reason' why pricescan be cut one-third.CANDIDATES WILLMEET WITH COACHOF AQUATIC TEAMSSwimming and polo team candl­dates wilt meet in Mr. White·s officeon Tuesday, December 5, at 4:15.

In fact, Minnesota andIllinois are the only universities infavor of it. Coach Stagg has alwaysbeen strongly opposed to the changein the rules, and the following is :1quotation from a speech delivered i>yhim in January, 1909, at a meeting ofthe Intercollegiate Athletic associa­tion."T 0 allow baseball men when pro­fessionals to compete on collegeteams would simply, introduce an­archy into our intercollegiate sports,"said Mr. Stagg. "Where shall we beable to stop? Is It supposed thatonly baseball men will be profession­als? Not for a moment! The veryinstant that the bars are let down inbaseball the clamor will begin forleniency in other sports. .Football,basketball and track -athletes all willfeel that they are entitled to consid­eration. Just the 'moment that we al­low men to play on our baseballteams who are professionals, justthat moment in my opinion wilt begina new evolution in professional ioot­ball.Stagg Fears ProfesrionaUsm."It has been said that professionalfootball can never thrive, but thebas is for this statement rests on thefact that the great mass of collegefootball players arc genuine amateursand have a sentiment against com­mercializing' themselves and debasingthe game, and they are backed up bythe best public opinion.
