...chiming cuckoo clock, gathered in the directors' room. There Bookkeeper Mary Clark seated herself at a shiny electric organ and began a service consisting of a hymn, ten Bible verses, a short but earnest homily. The homily was delivered by stout, expansive, 39-year-old John Marvin Yost, the bank's vice president, cashier, trust officer and secretary. Sample sentiment: "Pikeville is the grandest town that ever was." At 9 sharp, John Yost and his 14 fellow employes were at their posts and "the best and soundest bank in Kentucky" -50 years old last week-was open...
These and other innovations to win friends and influence people are the work of John Marvin Yost, a local boy who went into the bank 21 years ago and married a distant relative of its founder, Hotelman James Hatcher. Banker Yost, whose extracurricular activities include a model "Chick Manor" complete with running water and radio, launched his stunts one by one on First National's conservative directors. He says they "have tolerated, me because they . . . know I am honest, with one thing in mind: to run a good bank and make money." Last week Banker Yost rejoiced that deposits...
Ever since 1903 when an upstart University of Minnesota team, coached by Yaleman Henry L. Williams, startled a select circle of U.S. football fans by holding Fielding H.

When Fielding Yost gave up coaching in 1929 to devote all his time to the administrative post of director of athletics, amazing young Harry Kipke took his place. In four years (1930-33) his teams lost only one game. But in addition to being a good strategist, teacher and psychologist, a modern coach must have a capable staff of scouts. He must develop sensational stars, draw crowds that can retire the bonds on an expensive stadium. In the past four years Coach Kipke has had no Willie Hestons, no Benny Friedmans; his teams lost 22. out of 32 games. Alumni...
...Princeton in 1932. He had rescued Princeton football from temporary ignominy, developed two undefeated, untied teams (1933 and 1935). To make the position attractive enough, Michigan last week offered Crisler not only its coaching job but a professorship (Physical Education) and the post of assistant to Athletic Director Yost, now 67 and almost ready to retire. With the guarantee of inheriting a stable athletic berth. Coach Crisler succumbed...
