SECRET PRACTICE
/. FOR WOLVERINES
Yost Has Virtually Picked His
First Team for the
Season.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 12.-Michigans first
secret practice, held yesterday afternoon, re-
suited in the choice of Harry Hammond of Chi

sicians and Surgeons of Chicago. This
announcement by Michigan practically settles
the fact that there will be two Hammond broth
ers on the Michigan football team this year.
Harry has the size, weight, speed and grit that
his older and famous goal-kicking brother Tom
had last year at this time, when he made the
Michigan eleven. Harry has been playing full
back in Michigans games thus far, while other
men tried right half. None of these were the
'whirlwinds' that Yost Is hunting for and 1t
is generally believed that Hammond's choice is
a case of last the best of all.'
Michigan had two fierce scrimmages in secret
practice yesterday, first with the all-fresh and
then with the scrubs. Neither eleven was able
to gain thru the wolverine defense. Beechler,
one Of Yost's fnest-looking candidates, was car
ried off the field with a torn joint.
Michigan's lineup for today's game will be:

THE C0RNHUSKERS
WEPI REAL TEARS
Lachrymose Doings on the Depot
" Platform of Bill Bryan's
Town. ~...:~.-~--.
Special to The Journal,

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 1.-THE defeat Of the
Saturday. was unexpected by most of the rooters
The success OF Colorado, altho achieved by the
narrow margin of single touchdown and in
face OF the fact that the cornhuskers lugged the
ball almost three yards to their opponents one,
was the first dose of defeat Nebraska has swal-
lowed for almost three full seasons, and the Ne
braska rooters had become so accustomed to
lighting red fires and ringing the old university
bell that they were fairly dazed when the final
news was flashed over the wire that Colorado
had won. Booth maintains that his pupils de-
served to win, but for the rare good fortune Of
the Westerners, and he therefore argues that the
defeat should in no wise wreck the chances of
the cornhuskers for the future. He was nat
urally disappointed over the inability of his
proteges to cross Colorado's goal after they had
worked the ball so near to the line so many times
during the game, but he is hopeful, however
that the weakness displayed Saturday will be-
come apparent to the players and that the les
sons taught by the defeat vii be an eventual
benefit.
1t not until after the game was over
that Booth learned that he had been the victim
of a clever Colorado trick. When Booths ae-
gregation appeared on the scene they were bland
ly informed of the decision to play full halves
Booth protested on the ground that the season
was too young to play the full time, and that
at such an early date short halves, were being
played all over the country. Colorado was OBJ
durate, however, and would make no conces sion
other than for Commute halves. ( Booth was
compeled TO assent or be dubbed as gutter.
Another surprise to Nebraska was the splendid
condition displayed by Colorado, whereas the
Nebraskans We're seemingly exhausted before the
end of the first half, and were 'all i'm at the
finish An investigation Of this phase disclosed
that Coach Crop, with eye on the Nebraska
game, had been practicing most of the varsity
| squad at Boulder since the last week in August
and when Booth sent his team onto the field ii
was to face aforementioned team so much
better in point of endurance that there was nc

The return of the defeated Nebraskans to Lin
coin was pathetic Several hundred students
waited for hours for belated train to give the
team as warm a welcome as if they We're return
Ing from a triumph instead of reverse. The
students cheered Justify, until Booth and the

sort of thing could only result in good work.
Marshall 8 Plight.
Bobby" Marshall furnished the fun of the
afternoon. In a scrimmage he fell upon some
ones knee in such style that his nose was
bruised. No bones were broken, but the blood
flew for minute. Marshall was laughing at
his own plight and the team noted that his nose
was swelling to prodigious size. The bleeding
stopped in a minute and Marshall started to get
back into the play. He threw his noseguard
up to his face and look of amazement came
into his countenance. The noseguard would not
go on His nose was too big Marshall strug-
gled to get the refractory nasal organ into the
guard, but it was no use. He retired from the
field with Hilger attendant. liberal appli-
cation Of hot and cold water and cold cloths soon
reduced the swelling and Marshall emerged to
again take part in the irrmage, but too late to
get into the play. Asher gave way as a result
of a sprained shoulder, but will be back into the
going today. His injury was trihing one.
