YOST JUCCLED
HIS ENDS AND
TACKLES AGAIN
Thinks Pontius is Due for a
Shift to Tackle Po-
siti0n
BURTON TO REMAIN AT
END is PREVALENT IDEA
Several Men Deposed From
'Varsity-Two Are
Advanced

ANN ARBoR, Mich. Oct 2s-
Especial. Wholesale shifts in the
Wolverine football team are expect
cd as the result OF some OF the more
recent moves Of Coach Yost, and
while no one knows just where the
lightning will strike, changes In the
varsity squad OF the past two days
Indicates that II will be at the tackle
and end positions. II has been no
secret that the wizard coach has not
BEEN entirely satisfied with the work
OF his ends and tackles this season,
PARTICULARLY the tackles. In the game
at Columbus Saturday. the tackles
p!ayed a little more to the liking OF
fort. and now IL seems as IL the ends
arc due for shaking up.
While no one can say what Yost
has In mind, IL Is believed that he
oontemplates a shift that will remove
Pont!us from the wing position, pos
sioiy sending him back to his old posi-
tior of tackle, a position he played
during the early part OF last season.
Ponttcs Is not speedy man by any
means, and he would perhaps show
UP better at tackle than end. The
promotion OF Tessin from the scrub
team, where he has been playing sen.
satioIally at end, indicates that the
ynungster Is TO be given a chance TO
make good at one OF the extremities
cn the varsity.
There has been some talk that
Bartcr Is TO lose his place at end. but
this seems hardly probable, unless he
plays much more poorly in the past
than ne has been playing SO far this
season. The tall Kentuckian is
speedy, as nervy as they make them,
and IS really the only man on the
squad who Is at all successful In
grabbing the forward pass out of the
air. Given man to hurl the ball
with any accuracy and Barton will do
the receiving In frst-class shape. On
defense he has shown up well, and
It's safe bet that he will continue to
play end unless somebody shows far
better form than has so far been
shown. At this stage Of the game
there does not seem to be anybody
on tho squad capable OF putting up
better game at end than Barton.
Tho prediction made some time ago
that IL would be impossible 70 keep

Lichtner has been playing a splendid

Yost change his mind. The addition OF

There may be other shifts before

has not yet been settled by any
'means, and In view OF Yost's we'll
known tendency to tear his team to
pieces and reconstruct II on the eve
OF big game. II is safe TO say that
there are several members OF the
team who are hanging 70 their places
by their eyelids.
Events so far this week indicate
that Yost is not expecting any siren
rous opposition from the Syracuse
eleven next Saturday. From informa-
tion which has leaked out from be-
hind the closed gates at Ferry Field
it is learned that no fancy plays or
oaffling tricks have been dished up
so far this week. Evidently Yost ex-
poets the team TO win Saturday by
straight football, such as he has used
all season, although II is believed the
forward pass will be used oftener.
The impression that Captain Thorn
son simply had an OF day Saturday
seems to prevail on the campus, and
u is believed that he will be tossing
the hall In better form next Saturday.
1t is to be hoped that this is the case,
as the exhibition Of passing on Satu--

The psychological effect of the con-

will try TO shoot him. The suggestion
offered in these stories Is powerful
and unless il Is hushed, somebody Is

These stories are having the same
effect upon some weak minds as the
constant agitation about the terrible

have the sam eeffect as nauseating
stories about suicide and murder.
Added to Johnson's danger, Is the

New Rules Help Make the
Point-a-Minute
Teams
.McGUIGAN BEATS YOST'S
WONDERFUL MACHINES
On the Other Side, Syracuse
is Scored on the
Most
By RALPH L. YoNKER.

That old point-a-minute stun Is with
as again this fall.
"A compilation OF the scores or the
foottall teams up to date reveals the
startling information that not only
have the point-a-minute teams OF Yost
been equalled but Dan McGuigan has
rot together bunch that has been
making one and quarter points

comrlished this feat. leads the teams
OF the country in running up big
scores. Vandy has scored 800 points
In four games. The game lasts an
hour OF actual playing time. record
OF eos points in 240 minutes is some
fast work.
Not only has vandy proved to be q
great scoring machine, like Yosts or
sold, but II has proved effective on de-
tense. Not once this season has an
opponent crossed its goal line. Its
only black mark in the record Is a
,iuky field goal scored by Marysville.
The old-time 100 to scores by the
big teams against the smaller ones
rs caused by the new rules, which
have remodeled the style of play
greatly. The four downs four 10 yards
Is the most potent of the changes.
The games OF big scores are nearly
all over now, however, as the elevens
that are more evenly matched are
scheduled to finish the season. Very
few. II any, of the enormously lobsid-
ed counts are due in the future.
Vanderbilt has had no real test az
defensive team as yet, nor has II
had "a stringent test on offense. IL
has proved that 1t Is rapid scoring
machin against paper lines but what
1t VIII do against the stronger teams
Is questionable.
eFollowing Vanderbilt closely for
big score honors Is Carlisle, with 273
points. but In nearly double the mum
ber of games vandy has been In.
Carlisle has participated In seven con-
tests already. They were with strong
er teams, on the average. than Van

Princeton follows Carlisle with 2S4

WAR ON PRINTING TRADES.

Portland Ore.-From information Sc
cured, it is apparent that the Employ
ers association is actively engaged in
an effort to crush the Allied Printing
Trades Council of this city. The asso-
citation is lending every possible assist
ance to the local branch of the United
Typothetae, which comprises nearly all
the master printers in Portland. 1t will
be remembered that recently the press
men of a number Of concerns struck for
higher wages, and then followed lock-
out of the printers. Now there Is a
movement among the unfair printing
house employers to establish the open
shop. but the employers are even going
further than this by giving publicity to
the fact that even though the strikers
desire to come back, they will not be re-
instated inside Of one year. even though
they accept open shop conditions. There
is combination among these hostile
employers which. 1t is stated, will show
that they are operating in violation OF
the Sherman antitrust law, for 1t has
been discovered that bid or estimate
from one printing establishment in the
combination is bid from them all. The
workmen invovled are determined to
stand firm. no matter how long the con
