Wolverines Praise Attitude Of Min

at Ann Arbor.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 22.--COach YOst
was very we'll pleased with the result of
yesterdays secret practice on Ferry field:
and at It's conclusion he was all smiles.
Concerning the practice ne would say little
other than that both he and Trainer Fitz-
patrick were we'll satisfied with the work
of the team.
There were several scrimmages in the
practice yesterday afternoon, and the var
sity worked smoothly and we'll, both on the
offensive and defensive. The new plays
which are being prepared, were run
through, and the scrubs were unable tc
gain any ground against the regular
eleven.
Carter and Sweeley were both in prac-
tice, and did good work, but Carriers sore
leg gave signs of bothering him. To-
wards the end of the practice his in
jury became so painful that Yost decided
to keep him out Of to-day's game with
Oberlin. Gooding will take his place.
The lineup for to-day's game was given
out last night as follows: Gregory, CEN
ter; Gooding and McGugin, guards; Mad
dock and Cole, tackles; ,Sweeley and Red
den, ends; Weeks, quarterback; Hern-
stein and Heston, halves, and Jones full
back It is thought that most of these
men will be retired at the end Of the
first half as by that time they will have
had sufficient practice for the day. The
scrub team will be substituted for the
remainder Of the game.
Yost Visits Detroit.
Coach Yost left Ann Arbor for Detroit
last night, but would not give any infor-
nation concerning his motive. Every
move Of the coach, trainer and players is
being eagerly watched, and nothing is toe
trivial to carry some significance.
Palmer, who left Ann Arbor for Mas
Inns \
heard from yet, and Coach Yost is begin
ming to worry about him. Yost said last
night that he doubted whether Palmer
would be able to play, as the long trip
would tire him physically and he would
arrive in poor condition from lack of sleep,
change Of food and water, etc. Beside he
has been absent while the new defensive
and offensive plays were being learned,
and will be backward in team work.
The new grand stands are being rapidly
built. The athletic association has fifty
they are assisted by volunteer force of
citizens and students. Additions to the
bleachers are being constructed. The
boxes, press stand and the inclined planes
at either end Of the field for standing
room have been finished
Praise for Minnesota.
The student body Of Michigan is loud
In it's praise Of the attitude of Minnesota
IN 'consenting. to have the game PLAYED at
Ann Arbor. They consider that Mime
sofas stand was sportsmanlike through
out.
Immediately after the game Thursday
the team will elect it's captain for next
season. Left End Redden is the favorite
but there is ONE doubt as to whether he
will return next year for the post graduate
course Redden has not played his fourth
year yet, and should he come back he will
be eligible to play on ext years team.
There was a rumor last night that
Princeton had offered Michigan a game to
be played here, but little credence is given
to it.
Acting on Referee Hoagland's state
ments Nebraska is urging a post season
game with Michigan. Nebraska's talk.
however, makes little impression here
People seem to have forgotten the Oberlin
game to be played here tomorrow. Yost,
however, will send in the regular team and
try to beat Cornelrs score Of 81 to 0.
Michigan needs to score 81 points In the
Oberlin and Minnesota games and she will
have scored point for every minute OF
play during the season,
