The Old Man Himself

Check out this gem.  From February 1946 and the Michigan Daily digital archives.  Bill Mullendorf, an outgoing senior and Daily sport editor, composed what appears to be a farewell column.

Instead of dropping a retrospective of the great sports triumphs during his days at the Daily, he chose instead to discuss an unplanned encounter a Michigan legend.  It turns out he bumped into Fielding Yost at practice in the fall of 1944 and he shared a few memories.  Amazing.  Give it a read – I don’t think you’ll be disappointed:

Yost passed away few months after this was published.
