    Yost and Ohio Wesleyan (1897)

    Ohio Wesleyan was Yost’s first head coaching job and he led the Battling Bishops to a 7-1-1 record.   I don’t believe they were part of a conference (they would be part of the formation of the Ohio Atlantic Conference in 1902) so as Yost tended to do, he simply declared his fine team “Champions of Ohio”.  Good on you, FHY.
