Best known for his coaching years at Michigan (1901-1923,
1925-1926), Fielding Yost got his start coaching Ohio Wesleyan in 1897. This
first coaching position lasted for one year which was the beginning of a journey
through six schools, the last of which was Michigan. This original rare photo is
from that first coaching job and has the names of the coach and players as well
as the schedule and scores attached to the photo which is mounted on a mat that
proclaims “Ohio Conference Champions”.
Notes:
The player standing behind and to the right of Fielding Yost in the photograph is his slightly younger brother, Ellis Yost.
Back row, middle is Charles Lloyd Barney. He played professional football for the Latrobe Athletic Association and later for the Pittsburg Stars in 1902, their one year in existence. Barney was also well known as a strongman , lifting horses, pianos and the like.

Nice early piece of Yost memorabilia.
