Il YOSTNIEN
MAY PLAY THE
METHODISIS
BIG CENTER is STILL
USING THE CRUTCHES


ANN ARBOR. Mich. Oct. 24- (spe
cial.) III Coach Yost saw anything a
the work Of the ends in yesterdays
scrimmage with the scrubs which en-
abled him to solve the question Of
who win eventually play those posi-
tions on the Wolverine eleven, he saw
more than did the casual observer.
With Barton on the sidelines, Pontiu9
and Torbet took care OF the oxtrem-
tiles, and Young twice went around
Pontius for runs OF 80 and 40 yards.
Torbet's work was not that OF q stef
lar performer at the end Of the lire,
so Il would not be at all surprising II
the coach would make further shifts
before the team lines up on Saturday
against Syracuse.
Yost took along enough men 70
make all kinds OF shifts'yks 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, Glenn and Cyril Quinn, Torbet,
Wyman, Barton. Boyle, Bushneli.
Craig, Hnebel. Paterson, Allmendug
er, Raynsford. Cole, Musser. Pontius,
Tessin, Hughitt and Collette.
In spite OF the size Of the squad u
would not be al all surprising Il
every man on II with the possible ex-
ception OF Paterson were given q
chance To play In the Syracuse game
The fact that the Methodists have
played such poor football this sea-
son makes IL seem possible that yoBt
viii pull his regulars out OF the game
as soon az possible, and replace them
with econd string men. II II almost
(, a certainty that Tessin. recently pro
NOTED from the scrubs, viii have q
chance at end during some portion Of
the game. This youngster has been
playing great game against the var
sity. and as soon as he famiiiarixe8
himself with the signals and the var
sity plays he will doubtless be given
10 chance 10 show what he can do.
Just how Michigan will line up for
the opening Of the game with Syria
cuse n a question. II il practically
certain who viii play the guards,
tackles and center, but the remainder
Of the lineup Is uncertain. Ailmend-
niger and Glen Quinn will be at the
guards, Cole and McHale at the tack
les and Musser at center. Paterson
is still on crutches and viii not be
able TO get into the game At al.
Musser, who has vacillated from
guard 10 tackle all season. Ii passing
the ball we'll. and playing q good
game at defensive center. In case
OF Injury to him Barton. the man
whom YOst has been trying 70 devel-
Iop into an end. viii replace him. In
high school and during his nrst year
at Michigan the lanl<y Kentuckian
played center. and he can still play
the position in q pinch. Just who
VIII take care or the ends II 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 I'm the lineup. In case they
are not used Peterson, Torbet. Tessfn
or Wyman will have the. cali
In the backfield the same certainty
exists. No doubt Craig, Thomson,
Carpet and Huebei win start the
game, but II II proves 20 be the cinch
II ought to be, they viii doubtless be
taken ont Of the game early 70 give
some OF their understudies = chance.
In that event. Collette. Hughitt and
Boyle will be used at the halves. with
Cyril Quinn at fullback and bushnell
at quarter.
