WHITING Lake, Sept. o.
Coach Yost and his squad OF players
are now settled in the long grind that
is required TO form winning team.
The first few days were spent in get
ting the limbered up and now the
work has begun in earnest. The squad
comprises seventeen men and there
are two or three more scheduled 10
arrive next week But Yost is not
waiting for the tardly ones. He Ism
depending on the possibility OF any
mans playing who Is not with the
squad, but he Is starting out to de-
velop the material at hand. His motto
seems to be to develop the material
at hand"
Perhaps the best thing that came
to vary the routine OF the camp was
the news that Don" Greene Will De
back this year. There have been sew
eral reports that he would not be
back, and he was undecided Tor
while. At present he Is In Detroit,
and ii is not known when he Will re-
port The new game is made for
Greene and Yost will have valuable
addition to his backfield material. Don
Is fast and besides he has weight and
should be able to hit the line unas-
sisted in great style. Harrington.
Junior In the dental department. VIII
be on hand Monday. He comes with
out any varsity experience but made
a great showing on his class team last
year and impressed Yost favorably as
having the foundation for good
guard or tackle.
Only light work was given the boys
during the practice today, but the
largest part OF the time being spent
In running the team through simple
formations without the aid Of signals
All the plays tried were along the new
style of play and are made through
direct pass. Punting and place-k-ick-
ing also received good share OF at
tention from the men Of any ability.
AS yet there is no favorite among the
hooters" Dave Allerdice has this
branch OF the game under his special
direction and Is giving the men some
valuable pointers,
Shorty" Mcmillan was in the back
field and handled himself like veter
an Incidentally he directed the plays
and assumed much the same position
as the quarterback under the old style
Of play. The Detroit boy appears TO
be the real thing and should cinch
place for himself on the varsity.
George Lawton is another Detroiter
who Is coming TO the front. He looks
better than ever. and the coach had
him at center and guard today. He
passed the ball accurately. and has
the earmarks OF good center. Yost
NAV use him at this position as there
Is little possibility OF Smiths return
ing. No word has been received from
him. and the coach has about given
up hope for his return.
Cole who PLAYED guard on the fresh
man eleven last year arrived Thursday
and was out in practice. He is In
the best Of shape and bass az good a
wind as the men that have been out
from the start. There IL wealth OF
line material and the struggle for po-
s'tions will be one OF the features OF
the preliminary season. Edmunds and
Wells are both there strong. and so Is
Benbrook. The big captain is fatter
than ever and weighs about $50. much
