ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct, ls.-(Spe-
cial.) From the size Of the football
squad which accompanied Coach
Yost to Columbus today II 10 evident
the coach does not intend to take any
chances, and that he will have enough
subs to fill every position on the team
II necessary on Saturday. Twenty
three football players were taken
along, practically every man on the
squad who is eligible TO play.
Ii is almost foregone conclusion
, that Jimmy Craig will not get into
the game Saturday, as was predicted
yesterday, and II Carpet plays II will
be at the risk of further injuries
With Craig out, Torbet and Hughitt
win probably have the call, with wy
man at third choice. Craig's absence
will make II imperative for the quar-
ierback TO call upon Captain Thomson
often when few yards are needed
TO make the distance, as none of the
otner backfeld men are particularly
noted for strength In the line plung-
ing game.
While Yost has not yet announced
his probable lineup for aSturday u
is probably that Pontius and Barton
Will be at end, Cole and McHale at
tackle, Allmendinger and Quinn at
guard. Paterson at center, Huebel at
quarter. Thomson at fullback, with
two halves selected from the follow
ing men: Torbett, Hughitt, Cohette,
Wyman and Boyle.
Yesterday the coaches gave the
team a long signal drill which lasted
until after dark, as well as some val
liable information as to Ohio States
style Of play This was augmented
tonight by blackboard demonstrations
OF the plays and the best method, OF
meeting the various styles OF attack
which Ohio State may be expected to
spring.
Coach Yost. never communicative
on the eve on the game, was less so
than usual today before the team
took the train for Columbus. He did
venture the assertion that the men
showed better lighting spirit Than
they have been showing, and that he
expected them to fight hard In the
game Saturday.
II il evident that Coach Yost ex-
poets a hard battle, but in spite OF
the fact that the team has no yet be-
gun to run smoothly enough to suit
him, he is not looking for adefeat by
any means. The manner In which
the team rallied I'm the last half of
the farmer game demonstrated the
feet that the men have the stun in
them once their lighting instinct Is
aroused, and any team that can do
comeback stunt such as the Wolver-
Ines pulled OF In the game is not yet
ready for the old peoples home as
Fome sport writer's would have MichE
gau's supporters believe.
OF course the team doesn't suit
Yost. He never had team that did
suit when II comes to the develop
:nent OF a football team, but n any
tody expects Michigan TO trek to
Colnmbus for the purpos Of lying
down and allowing the scarlet and
gray team to walk on her anatomy,
he has another guess coming.
II is true that Ohio Ctate has won
both her games by lopsided scores,
but so has Michigan. and in spite OF
the fact that Craig will not be In the
game II will be vastly different
team which faces o. s. II. than the
team which faced Case two weeks
ago. or even the team which faced
NJ. A. G. week ago. Coach Yost has
drilled lot Of football into the men
the past week. and they will go into
the game prepared 20 fight TO the Iast
ditch.
