ANN ARBOR, Mich. Oct. 22- (Spe-
cial) )--In spite OF the fact that Syra-
cuse. Michigan's next opponent. has
shown nothing this season to indicate
that the game, Saturday, will be any
thing more than good workout for
the wolverines, Coach Yost is not
taking any chances on an eleventh
hour recovery Of the Methodists. and
this week will put his charges
through course Of training as
strenuous as anything that has pre-
cedsd II. The work OF the linemen
on Saturday last indicates that little
Improvement Is to be expected there,
at least in the line OF defensive play,
but on offense the line did not show
as strongly as Coach Yost wished.
Yesterday the men who played In
the o. 8. u. game, with two or three
exceptions, were given a rest. The
game Saturday was strenuous one.
land there were many sore muscles
when the team reported for the daily
lpraatice. The second string men
were sent agaipst the. scrubs. and
the latter almost secured revenge for
iali lie things the varsity has done to
them this season. scoring touch
down and Aeld goal, which Is all
the regulars could do.
However, the latter were fortunate
enough to convert their lone touch
down into goal. and the scrubs
didn't. At that the scrubs played the
better game. having the varsity in
trouble the greater part OF the time.
and threatening goal the greater part
OF the last quarter.
Glenn Quinn, Cole and McHale were
the only regulars in the varsity line
u. Yost evidently intends to give
Cole and McHale every opportunity
to play the tackle positions as he de-
sires them to be played, as he seldom
misses a chance to give these two
big men plenty OF work. Both show.
ed up well In the o. 8. u. game, show
iTg every indication of developing
into tackles who will be hard to beat.
Tissen, q scrub end who has been
playing a remarkably good game this
season, was promoted to the varsity
squad yesterday, and .he looks az
though he might make some of the
regulars hustle for their jobs. Stone,
another possibility at end, was also
declared eligible, so Yost should not
lack for capable material at the wing
positions.
Tie coaches are rejoicing that the
injury which Bubbles" Paterson re-
ceived In the o. 8. u. game Is cot
serious and is not likely to keep him
o.. the team long. Paterson has filed
the pivot positions so long and so &C.
Iceptable that he would be sadly miss
ed. although there are one or two men
on the squad who ought to develop
into capable substitutes.
Musser. who replaced Paterson,
Saturday, is a big man, and Wright
and Paisley have both shown some
skill at center. Wright Is the former
Minnesota end, but so far Yost has
used him only at guard and center.
He weighs over $50 porHds and In
action looks as though he ought to be
q capable lineman.
All season there have been pre-
dictions that Stone, II he ever got his
studies In shape to- allow him to play,
would make a hard fight for an end
position, and now that he Is eligible
lie Is expected to get into the scrap
for positions now at its height. He
is short, roly-poly youngster, fast
and as hard as nails. When the squad
first reported for practice he was
|tackling In mid-season style, while
other members Of the squad were TAX
ing things easy for fear of injuries.
Coach Yost is still endeavoring TO
conduct secret practice, though his
efforts are not entirely successful.
While the team Is working out on the
gridiron track men are using the Gin
der path, and tennis players the
courts, so that. there Is plenty OF op
Iportunity to spy upon the teams
workouts.
