that he is now the best lineman ever

But the large majority OF the real
football players go into the scrub
team. There. along with the star

under the one-year residence rule,
make up the team which furnishes
the nightly opposition in the scrim-

structor of no mean ability. the scrubs
can certainly tear up the patch some.
Like the varsity. the scrub team has
three stars. George Lawton, OF De-
troit, afreshman, who plays end and
tackle. is admittedly the best football
player on the Michigan campus at
present. Schultz barred His tackling

Several of the other scrubs are

their attendance. They are either put

During all OF Yost's coaching at
Michigan IL has been a noteworthy
fact that he has had but one varsity
player out OF the medical and pharm-
aceutic departments combined. This
condition Is occasioned by the rigor.

these departments. There are, never
