In the Yale-Brown game, back in 1898, Richardson, that wonderful Brown quarterback, received the ball on a double pass from Dave Fultz and ran 65-yards before he was downed by Charlie de Saulles, the Yale quarterback, on Yale’s 5-yard line.  When Richardson got up, he turned to de Saulles and said: 

“You fool, why did you tackle me?  I lost a chance to be a hero.”

Yale, by the way, won that game by a score of 18 to 14.

Yost relates a humorous experience he had at Michigan in 1901, which was his most successful season at that University.

“Buffalo University came to Michigan with a much-heralded team.  They were coached by a Dartmouth man and had not been scored upon.  Buffalo papers referred to Michigan as the Woolly Westerners, and the Buffalo enthusiasts placed bets that Michigan would not score.  The time regulation of the game, two halves, was thirty-five minutes, without intermission.  At the end of the first half the score was 65 to 0.  During this time many substitutions had been made, some nineteen or twenty men, so that every player Buffalo brought with them had at one time or another participated in the game.

“The Buffalo coach came to me and said: 

“‘Yost, we will have to cut this next half short.’

“‘Why?’ I asked.  Of course, I did not realize that every available man he had with him was used up, but I felt rather liberal at that stage of the game and said: 

“’Let them rest fifteen or twenty minutes for the intermission, and then use them over again; use them as often as you like.  I don’t care.’

“About fifteen minutes after the second half had started, I discovered on Michigan’s side of the field, covered up in a blanket, a big fellow named Simpson, one of the Buffalo players.  I was naturally curious, and said: 

“‘Simpson, what are you doing over here?  You are on the wrong side.’

“‘Don’t say anything,’ came the quick response, ’I know where I am at.  The coach has put me in three times already and I’m not going in there again.  Enough is enough for any one. I’ve had mine.’

“The score was then 120 to 0, in favor of Michigan, and the Buffalo team quit fifteen minutes before the game should have ended.

“It may be interesting to note that from this experience of Buffalo with Michigan the expression, ‘I’ve got you Buffaloed,’ is said to have originated, and to-day Michigan players use it as a fighting word.”

Yost smiled triumphantly as he related the following: 

“The day we played the Michigan Agricultural College we, of course, were at our best.  The M. A. C. was taken on as a preliminary game, which was to be two twenty-minute halves.

“At the beginning of the second half the score was 118 to 0, in favor of Michigan.

“At this time, a big husky tackle, after a very severe scrimmage had taken place, stood up, took off his head gear, threw it across the field and started for the side line, passing near where I was standing, when I yelled at him:
