The Football Office sub-group contains three series: Football Scouting Reports/Playbooks, 1938-1963, Miscellaneous Publications and Schembechler Topical Files. The Scouting Reports/Playbooks cover the coaching careers of Fritz Crisler, Bennie Oosterbaan and the early years of Chalmers "Bump" Elliott. They are arranged chronologically and include an analysis of each UM opponent and diagrams of Michigan plays and notes on game strategy. Miscellaneous Publications includes football rules books, 1894-1940 and two volumes of lectures by Fielding Yost and Elton (Tad) Weiman for a coaches course they taught. The Schembechler Files mainly concern administrative matters and social activities.
