Old man Hooks Wiltse was

The result was that the Giants
shut out the Pittsburgh crew by

The Detroit Baseball and Amuse-

same firm recently completed the

try.
The contract calls for all concrete
work to be set by Dec. 1, which
means of course that the work will
have to be expedited. The plant

the contractor is under bond to get

think II the statistics should be con
suited. II will be found that there are
as many injuries now as under the
old rules. There Is. think, more
danger In open field tackles and In
receiving forward passes with mob
ready TO pounce on you when you are
reaching for the ball with the muscles
about your waist relaxed and your
body unprotected than in old style
plunging into the line.
The real reason why the new
game Is popular is that the ball and
the plays can be watched more easily
While the average eight-year-old kid
knows baseball, very few people who
have not attended college or high
school know football. and game that
can be seen clearly and appreciated
is demanded. The average man car
watch open football with much more
pleasure than he could the close play
of the former style.
II am not satisfied that the present
rules have come TO stay but I think
that there will be reaction and that
the tendency will be to eliminate that
element of luck. which comes through
the forward pass, tending to make the
winning of games so uncertain.
, Besides its extreme susceptibility
to good or bad fortune. the forward
pass Is often uninteresting. after all
for but two out Of five passes, on the
average, are completed Nothing but
annoyance and a little delay Is the
result of most OF them"

Finds II Easy To Demolish Defense
Of Scrubs on Ferry Field--Can't
Use Forward Pass.

ANN ARBOR. Mich. Oct. 3.-Coach
Yost gave HIS football warriors AZ
minutes of strenuous scrimmage work
this afternoon at the close OF q stifi
workout on Ferry Field. and In view
OF the fact that II was the frat scrim-
mage the men showed up very well
indeed. All of them came through
the work In splendid condition and
looked as though they could have
stood another 40 minutes OF 1t with
out losing their wind. AS q matter or
fact. II Is doubtful II Michigan team
In years has been In such splendid
physical condition as this one. and
every man displayed as much pep at
the finish as he did at the start.
In the As minutes the regulars
scored six touchdowns against Bill
Smiths scrubs. and the scrubs were
no mean opponents at that. Lack Of
team-wor prevented them from play
ing a star game. but they tackled
fiercely and blocked well. Yost shift
ed his men about until every one OF
the 19 regulars was given chance.
In the backfield he used Craig and
Picard at quarter, Torbet. Huebel, Car
pei. Harrington. Robes, Meek. Wen.
ner and Thomson. In the line, Pom
titus, Conklin. Paterson. Allmendinger
Boyle. and Quinn were used. and
Wells, Garrels and Barton were tried
at ends. The backheld men were
shifted the most. and all OF them
showed up exceptionally well.
| The scrimmage demonstrated one
I fact and that Is that the Wolverines
have a lot to learn before the forward
! pass Is perfected to Yost's taste. The
men In the backfield all pass well but
the ends are not always on the spot
to receive the ball. and though the
pass was tried a number Of times this
afternoon IL was successfully handled
but few times.

to end runs and plays through the line
