Wabash, Purdue and Indiana University
will have some excellent material to work
upon. Many Of the best Of the players OF
last year will be back to all four of the
colleges. There Is an excellent spirit
| among the Indiana institutions, and the
games among them are fought with splen-
did interest throughout the season.
Just what kind Of q team Yost will be
able to turn out at Michigan is q question
He has some of his old men left. and prom
ise Of good material There is no doubt
that the appearance OF the Michigan eleven
In the east last fall was very disappoint-
ting. Enthusiasts went to Philadelphia an
ticipating that they would see an eleven
with variety Of plays and a spirit of
getting there" superior to the average
eleven Of the east. But Michigan had
nothing In fact the team wasn't up In
some Of the primary essentials Of the game.
There was much excuse, however, as the
eleven was crippled by injuries and because
of faculty rules. The main point about
Yosts team was that 1t had nothing new
to show the east. and 1t was the general
opinion that the best team which Michigan
had ever put out would be vanquished by
the stronger elevens of the larger eastern
universities.
Foot ball practice at Michigan will begin
early. Yost is of the opinion that his team
will be hard to beat. Most of his promis-
ing men, Schultz. Rheinschild. Casey.
Joyce Miller, Washmund Flanaghan and
Douglass passed their final examinations
and are at work.
Yost is particularly anxious to beat
Pennsylvania and retrieve the prestige lost
at Philadelphia last season, and with this
object In view will strive to get his charges
In the best possible shape.
Our schedule this fall calls for seven
games" said Yost land this will aid us
materially in developing the team as it
will give all the men more experience
Most of the men are doing Individual work

college of agriculture next fall, taking the
regular course. The young prince is nine
teen years old and an all-around athlete
He was won great renown at cricket and
has a record as a foot ball player of Indian
kind, which is very promising. The Indian
game is not quite the American, but skill
and strength. both of which the prince pos
sesses, are the prime requisites in both
In the south there is every reason to be-
lieve that the game will make more head
way this year than it did last Vanderbilt
will make another effort to put out a
strong team, and although five men have
been lost from what was one OF the best
elevens of 1905 the coach is confident that
he Will be able to place strong outfit on
the gridiron by the LIST of October
The Virginia elevens all promise well and
surer and more accurate foot ball is likely
TO be played now that the teams have a
better conception Of the new rules and are
Incoming acquainted with the fact that
the style of foot ball has changed greatly
from that which was in vogue two years
ago.
