by the varsity, which played consistent game

his old place at end, and altho he lacks condi-

by Yost was the placing Of Bishop, who has
been playing quarter, at the halfback position.
He weighs scarcely $50 pounds. At quarter
he was one of the best Michigan ever had in
handling the ball and in running for long gains

general, and for that reason Yost was forced
to replace him with Workman.

his speed a nddodging ability. He worked out
well. considering the fact that he has had no
experience in that position. but his weight may
