II was the vanguard OF what Michi-
gan men hope is going to be the
greatest football team Michigan has
had since the days OF Heston, and
they were starting for their training
camp, which opens at Whitmore Lake
today. In the bunch we're Capt Conk-
lin, Quinn and Boyle, all m" men,
Torbett, Paterson, Craig, Meek and
Peterson, members OF the famous Ali

Thomson and Harrington are expect

Dennison. McDermott and Hanlon are
expected to report little later.
while there Is still doubt about Koh-
Ier the Lansing giant getting into
the preliminary practice. Coach Yost
arrived this morning and went at
once TO the lake. accompanied by
Trainer Kraenzlein and Coach Andy
Smith of the All-Fresh team. Among
fthe new men OF whom Coach Yost is
expecting great things is Hanlon OF
the University OF Colorado, who was
q famous track-man in the west.

played such a strenuous game last
season. Michigan fans are hoping
that football will come out of the

the Saginaw boy, who showed SO
much promise last season, will be on
hand to take his place, and there are
many good judges OF football who are
Of the opinion that Picard will de-
yelop into greater quarterback than
Mcmillan, although Il IL admitted
that the Detroiter has not yet reach

his grit none who saw him handle
the team during the gruelling contest
on Ferry Field last year, which won
for Michigan the championship of the
west, will raise question OF doubt
Playing throughout almost the entire
game with a broken collar bone, the
youngster was I'm every play, and his
work gave no indication OF the awful
agony he must have suffered during
the fierce scrimmage when the west

Michigan's line. Picard Is more

the game.
The appearance at Whitmore Lake
Of Carpell viii make Coach Yost hap

quoted as saying that Carpell IL the
greatest half since Heston's time. To
have ones name coupled with Heston
ought to be honor enough for any
one, as Heston's great record while
member OF Michigans teams is yet
TO be even remotely approached Ey
any other halfback. Carpell is here
!, and will go to the- lake prepared to
give the other candidates for halfback
"a run for the money. Parental objec-
ton kept him out OF the game last
season, but that objection has been
removed. and his showing on the re-
serve team last season marks him az
real find, one OF the kind which is
uncOrked but once In long time.
