Yost considerable satisfaction His
chief delight, however, is In the work
of the new men, So.no OF whom are cx-
pected to give the older players a hard
battle for positions.
Yost Is doing this season what he
has long wanted to do-playlng fast,
shifty men in the line There are likely
to be few giants on the Michigan team
this year. although Benbrook. Riley
and Conklin weigh 200 pounds each or
moro. To accomplish his purpose Yost
is using former back field men at tao
klc and even guard. and, whlle the
team this year VIII probably average

Princeton Has the Material.

Looking over tho record made by inc
Princeton eleven to date, one inds IL
difficult to cnthuSe. but tho fact re-
mains that the Tigers have tho ma
terial and the coaches TO turn out
strong eleven. Individually the team Is
very powerful and has fully demon
gtratcd II. but the men do not play To-
gethcr as 1t seems they ought to after
almost a months practice.
This is partly caused by the quarter
back problem Dawson shows good
Judgment in running the team and has
lots OF life. but many times he missed
punts, and when he did get them was
not able to run them back effectively.
The only other available man seems
to be Chrystic. and he IL weak In just
the points in which Dawson Is strong.
and vice versa The choice of ends
has settled down to four men-Welch.
Gil, Meigs and Kine-with the first
two having the call at present All
these men are good. but that is oil that
can be said for them.
The most notable thing about the
rest OF the line Is the fight that Bam-
man and MacF'adyenr are having for
the center position 1t is q contest OF
speed against weight, and an enforced
lay-oft OF MacFadyen has enabled the
lighter man to get into all the games
so far where he has shown up eX-
tremely we'll One guard position
seems assured to Waller, and Woehr is
now occupying the other regularly, but
Buckingham is n strong factor and
does not need TO play much better to
supplant the other man. Captain Sieg-
ling and McCrohan, at tho tackles,
have been opening big holes and play
ing as we'll as anybody on the squad,
but the latter still has lot to learn.
When Read. Hart and Mccormick
have been In the back field together
1 they have formed a combination that
has not yet been stopped, though most
of their gains have been through the
holes made by the strong tackles. Both
