WITH THREE HARD GAMES
COMING, MICHIGAN STILL
HAS GREAT DEAL TO LEARN
Disappointing Feature of Satur-

of Good Place-Kicking.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Oct 30.-Hav-
Ing disposed OF Vanderbilt by an eye
lash, the Wolverines this week will
devote themselves TO preparing for
the remaining games on the schedule.
each OF which, with the possible ex-
ception OF the Syracuse game here
next Saturday, ought to prove hard
contests.
That there are lot of things In
the general play OF the Wolverines
which need correction none who saw
the game with Vanderbilt Saturday
Will deny. IL Is true that Coach Yost
depended upon simple formations TO
win this game. and but for an unfor-
tunate offside play inside the l5-yard
line, would probably have won 1t Uy
a score OF 8 to g.
None OF the trick plays, for which
the Wolverine coach is famous, was
used. and only a few forward passes
were attempted. AS only two OF
these were successful Ii is evident
that the coach will have a Job on his
hands perfecting his men in the dse
Of this highly spectacua. play II he
expects TO use IL to any considerable
extent in the remaining games
On the whole. however, Michigan
played splendid football. and he
score should have been much larger.
The Wolverines had numerous
chances To score, but the only time
they displayed the necessary pep" to
produce points was in the third quar-.
ter after Vanderbilt had scored three
on a drop kick by Curtin, who as
sent into the game for that purpose
n the next few minutes Michigan
played great football, the Wolverine
backs plunging through the line and
dashing around the ends OF big gains.
The disappointing feature OF the
game was Bogle's failures at place
kicking. In practice during the past
week Tom had been bo ting the ball
over ths bar at distances varying
from 80 to 45 yards, and yet In Sat
urday's game when he had several
chances 10 pile up big score for his
team his kicks all fell short Captain
Conklin made one goal from place
ment, but his second attempt, follow
ing the sensational run OF Craig after
he had intercepted a Vanderbilt for
ward pass, was blocked.
Craig demonstrated Saturday that
all OF the nice things have been said
about him are deserved AS matter
az fact. no halfback at Michigan in
recent years has put up such spec
tacular game on Ferry Field as did
Craig Vanderbilt tacklers found him
a hard man 10 down. and his handling
OF punts was we'll nighi perfect. He
missed touchdown by matter or
Yards in the last few minutes of play
when he leaped into the air and cap
tured one OF Vanderbits forward
passed and raced almost the length
of the field before he was downed.
He also played a star game on de-
fense.
That Michigan really played bet
ter game than Vanderbilt in spite OF
the spectacular forward passes which
the visitors uncorked in the last quar-
ter must be admitted. Vanderbilt
was playing her one big game OF the
season, and used everything in her
repertoire TO win. while Michigan at
tempted nothing new. With fettf-haFti-
games yet to be played, Coach Yost
did not dare TO loosen up any, and
was ratisfied TO win by even one
