Ann Arbor, Nov. 21-Michigan's foot
ball team Is recovering from the stale
ness that was evident a week ago. The
training table has been abandoned by the
whole team for the week. The all-fresh
team has been disoanded and the players
are being used to take the places of the
scrubs who have been promoted to the
varsity for the Oberiin game Saturday.
Both Lawrence and Graver will be used
II needed against the gophers next Thurs
day. They are in better condition than
the regular backfeld men and do not need
the rest as much.
Oberlln an Easy Mark.
Oberlin was easily put away by Case,
the plucky little eleven which scored on
Michigan early In the season. There Is
little interest in the game with the little
Ohio team and the attendance will be
small When the game was scheduled it
was intended as practice game, but now
it is deemed advisable to let the men
rest rather than practice.
Carter, the big guard from Brown uni
versity, Is taking a vacation this week
It is expected that he will be easy for
Captain Flynn. Cole will take his place
If he retires.
Coach Yost and Trainer Fitzpa trick
have taken no part in the controversy re-
garding the arrangements for the cham
pionship game, but are devoting their
entire time to the players. keene Fitz-
patrick has the reputation OF being one of
the best trainers in the country and the
university has confidence in his being able
to bring the football team through the
most trying crisis Of the season. The
training table will commence again Mon
day and from then until Thursday night
Yost and Fitzpatrick will have complete
charge Of the players.
Betters Ask Even Money.
There has been very little betting on the
Minnesota game as yet and even money
is being sked by many. Odds will prob
ably be offered later unless Minnesota ap-
pears willing to bet even. Excursions are
being planned from all this part of the
country and crowd IS assured wherever
the game Is played.
Yost Hits Up Hot Pace
Yost kept good his word about hitting
up hot pace for yesterdays practice.
He sent the men through the most severe
work Of the season, regardless Of the
safety Of anybody, and he kept them at
1t steadily for forty-five minutes, until 1t
became too dark to pass the ball.
All the men came out of the rough
scrimmage in good shape. except SWeeley,
who got bone bruise on the knee. But
he Will be all right IN the morning, salo
Trainer Fitzpa trick. THE men worked
very fair" said Coach Yost. Every man
was in it at some time. I kept changing
the lineup of the team and gave every
substitute a chance to get into movement
We played on the practice field instead OF
the regular gridiron.'
1t is said that Dickey put up wonder
full game at half yesterday, and he may
be given opportunity to play half in
