MICHIGAN AFTER
THE Penn SCALPS
Has Three Clean Victories to
Credit and Now Looks
Toward the East.

With three clean victories to her
credit. the Michigan football team
looks forward to eastern contests.
From the standpoint of confidence
gained By Victories, Michigan has a
decided advantage over her eastern
opponents. While Yost's men have
met II decisively defeated three able
western teams. each OF her eastern
rivals has been l'cked at least twice.
Cornell has lost three games out Of
four: Syracuse has been downed by
Yale and Princeton 81 and 81 to Q, re-
spectively. while Penn has been de-
fc&tcd by S~Warthmore, 6-3, and Brown
30 TO Z. Yost does not hesitate to say
tina: he expects his team to down S.ra-
Gus" and Cornell. The Quaker game
is always d fierce fight, and is liable
to go either way.
During the last two week Michigan
has been passing through a peculiar
concerned. Iost has on hand some
of the best material that he has ever
had 20 work with, and the presence of
eight M" men from last season would
generally be considered as an encour
aging feature. But in spite of this
fact. the Wolverine coach has ex-
pressed himself as not being entirely
satisfied. Up to date the men have
not worked together. Certain indi-
jviduals nave starred in various de-
partmentS of the game, but there has
not been that unified team work that
must be attained before the Wolver-
ines can successfully combat with her
leastern foes.
