Michigan Pennsylvania game is tremen-
dous. The people down east don't seem
TO know that Michigan was dumped by
chicago last year, and TO them 1t still is
the premier team in the west. Thirty
thousand people viii probably attend the
game"
Yost has given out the names OF eight
of the eleven men who viii play in the
big games They are: Lowell, center;
Graham, right guard; Patrick, right
tackle; Harry Hammond, right end; Cur
tbs, left tackle; Garrels, full back Ma
CONN, left half. The other places on the
team are still untitled.
The advent Of the forward pass has had
the effect Of affording the coaches oppor-
tunity to teach their men better how to
handle and pass the pigskin. Coach Foster
at Nebraska has been working hard on
this branch Of the game with good sue
cess. In former years but few men had
to pass the ball. The backs did to some
extent, but most Of the time the quarter
simply handed to a back or lneman, who
was taught 10 squeeze the ball and never
let IL out of his possession. The new game
makes a different condition. Not only must
a player learn how to receive the ball, but
other player while on the full run. Coach
Cavanaugh has a special time set apart
to teach the players and these must learn
to pass It far and accurately. At Michigan
Yost has been working his men in secret
on long passes with the foot ball. The
coach can hurl the leather farther than
some punters can kick. but Lawrence
Hull, the student manager of the foot ball
team. can hang II all over him. Hull can
do fifty-four yards on a throw. The best
Yost has been able to negotiate is fifty
yards. Johnny Garrels, the great discus
thrower. has not been able to get more than
forty yards, and big Joe Curtis, the ham,
mer man, trails along in about fourth posi-
ton. The development OF the forward pass
may bring into the limelight the man who
can hurl 1t far.
A few colleges are In the background
this year, watching the effects of the new
rules, having been afraid to give them a
try until other colleges had passed judg-
ment upon them. with the wise ones
still divided as to the outcome of the rules,
these colleges are making no plans for

Many knocks have been handed around
concerning the new rules in foot ball, and

Stage the famous coach OF the Chicago
university team. gave out this interview
on the effect the new style of play will
have on the back field and ends:
II see no reason why a good end or 6
good back should not be able to last tbs
whole game through" said the Maroon
director. There will be no greater cal
this year for good substitutes than there
has been right along. A good sub is always
a valuable and indispensable man. 1 plac'
no faith in the belief that injuries will
be greater this season than before. II
fact, there will be fewer and less sever,
injuries to players. The open game Il
not as prolific of injuries as is the mas
play. and a man stands better chance
under the new rules"
In discussing the forward pass, Mr. Stagl
says that 1t will take four or FIVE goot
men 10 work It. consistently and accurately
The backs and ends will all have TO b.
quick and nimble. and while an open flel'
will not be essential to a successful work
ing OF the trick, It will help In any case
a team which can use the forward pas
will compel Its opponents to use an opeI

the back field as It went against Wabas
