Yost's system for his men to perfect
his 1904 model of a football machine
thus far has been as follows: Rise at
z a. m; breakfast; 80 minutes rest;
study football rules; quiz on rules for
an hour; 80 minutes practice on how to
start; 80 minutes practice on elemen-
tary formations dip in the lake;
lunch; running and recreation until
$3.50 p. m; 80 minutes practice on how
to start; 80 minutes practice on forma-
tons; plunge in the lake; study of
rules; dinner; hours quiz on rules;
rest; bed at p. m.
The men will not be given a scrim-
mage until after they return to Ann
is to be had on how Yost will arrange
the men except that the six old men
will hold down their old positions.
The veterans are headed by Captain
all-American eleven last fall. HeSton
is playing his fourth year. Carrying |
his 200 pounds with the speed of a deer, |
and hurdling over mems heads like a |
marvel of haHbacks. Heston has cor |
reeted his one fault, laziness, in prae-
tice- In former years he always loaf
ed till the last moment before big |
games. If hard training. can do it he |
will this year be the greatest of Amer |
lean football players His men have
noticed the cnanSe- Inc Other veterans |
are Norcross, half back and quarter; /
Longman, fullback; Curtis, tackle; |
Schultz, guard; and Tom Hammond at
end. Hammond's value to the team is
unique. He weighs 204 pounds at pres
ent, is fast runner, the best fresh
man defensive player that Yost ever
developed, and is. besides worth about
ten points game with his goal kick
ing toe. On account of his presence
Yost has already discarded drop kick
ing practice, giving his men to under
stand that Michigan will stick to field
goals this year. Curtis, weighing 215
pounds stripped, never had a minutes
time taken out last year. He is al
most as fast at half as Heston, and
under the new rules he can be substi-
tuted for mass play all by himself.
Harry James, also quarter of last
years team, will probably not be in
college until the second semester.
Michigan already has enough men to
fill the five vacancies. These positions
are right half, end, tackle, guard, and
center. There are several good men
who were crowded off last years team.
These include Beechler, who weighs 205
pounds, Ted Hammond also a 205 +
FOUNDER; Briggs, formerly of Iowa, in
san's $50 pound quarter miller. whose
shoulders look three feet broad. How
good they are may be judged from the
