cial. LII Coach Yost saw anything in
the work OF the ends In yesterdays
scrimmage with the scrubs which en-
abled him to solve the question OF
who will eventually play those posi-
tions on the Wolverine eleven. he saw
more than did the casual observer.
With Barton on the sidelines, Pontius
and Torbet took care of the extrem-
ities, and Young twice went around
Pontius for runs OF 80 and 40 yards.
Torbet's work was not that OF a stel-
lar performer at the end OF the line,
SO II would not be at all surprising II
the coach would make further shirts
before the team lines up on Saturday
against Syracuse.
Yost took along enough men TO
make all kinds Of shifts, as the squad
which left here today was composed
OF but one less man than the squad
which was taken to Columbus last
week. Following are the men who
left for Syracuse this afternoon: Cap
tain Thomson. Carpet. McHale, Peter
son. Clem and Cyril Quinn, Torbet,
Wyman, Barton. Boyle. Bushnell.
Craig, Huebel, Paterson, Allmending.
er. Raynsford, Cole, Musser, Pontius,
Tessin, Hughitt and Collette.
In spite OF the size of the squad 1t
would not be at all surprising IL
every man on 1t with the possible ex-
ception OF Paterson were given
chance 10 play in the Syracuse game.
The fact that the Methodists have
played such poor football this sea-
son makes II seem possible that Yost
will pull his regulars out OF the game
as soon as possible, and replace them
with econd string men. IL Is almost
certainty that Tessin, recently pro-
noted from the scrubs, Will have a
chance at end during some portion OF
the game. This youngster has been
playing a great game against the var
sity, and as soon as he familiarizes
himself with the signals and the var
sity plays he will doubtless be given
chance to show what he can do.
Yesterdays mid-week game be-
tween the varsity and scrubs didanot
develop anything remarkable. But 35
minutes were devoted 10 scrimmage,
and In that time the varsity scored
three touchdowns, although not a
single member OF the regular back
| field was used. Bushnell ran the team
at quarter, Collette replaced Craig at
left half, Boyle was at the other half
and Cyril Quinn gave first-class imi-
4 tation OF Captain Thomson at full
back. In fact the work Of the former
scrub halfback In the fullback posi-
tion was about the only bright spot In
an otherwise dull and uninteresting
battle.
Just how Michigan will line up for
the opening of the game with Syra-
cuse Is question. II Is practically
certain who will play the guards,
/ tackles and center, but the remainder
OF the lineup Is uncertain. Allmend-
niger and Glenn Quinn will be at the
guards, Cole and McHale at the tack
les and Musser at center. Paterson
is still on crutches and will not be
able to get into the game at all.
Musser who has vactllated from
guard to tackle all season, is passing
the ball well. and playing good
game at defensive center. In case
Of injury to him Barton, the man
whom Yost has been trying TO devel-
op into an end, will replace him. In
: high school and during his first year
at Michigan the lanky Kentuckian
played center, and he can still play
the position in a pinch. Just who
will take care OF the ends is some
thing only Yost knows and he won't
tell Barton and Pontius would seem
/ to have the call, but neither Of them
may be In the lineup. In case they
are not used Peterson, Torbet, Tessin
or Wyman will have the call.
/ In the backfield the same certainty
exists. No doubt Craig, Thomson,
Carpet and Huebel will start the
game, but IL It proves TO be the cinch
II ought to be, they will doubtless be
taken out OF the game early to give
some OF their understudies a chance.
In that event. Collette,. Hughitt and
Boyle will be used at the halves, with
Cyril Quinn at fullback and Bushnell
at quarter
