victory over o. s. U. Saturday was not
by as wide a margin as IL should
have been. Coach YCst found plenty
OF Improvement in the individual play
OF the team to satisfy him. The prip-
cipal feature was the remarkable i'm
provement in "Hackenschmidt' All
nendinger, the big local boy who has
been playing right guard this sea
SON.
Hack" was revelation to the
Michigan rooters who have been
watching his work since the season
opened. and II is evident that the
big fellow has at last found him
self. In the game Saturday he divided
honors with Jimmy" Craig. who
proved to be the Sammy White OF
the contest.
Allmendinger was not only stone
wall on defense, but on offense he
was q bear. Frequently he broke
through and tackled q. 8. U. backs be
fcre they got started, and attempts
to get through his side OF the line
we're futile.
Coach Yost has been predicting fol
two years that Allmendinger would
one day find himself, and when he
did he would be bearcat. II has
oeen known for two seasons that All
mendinger possessed everything
needed to make him star but pep.
and followers OF the team have been
anxicusly awaiting the time when he
would develop a supply OF that neces
sary material II came Saturday, and
If he continues TO improve he will be
one OF the best guards In the country
before the season ends.
Paterson at center has always play
ed a steady game, dependable at all
times, but never a star. Saturday he
was n different man, and put up a
star game. As a matter OF fact the
entire line proved 10 be stonewall In
its defensive work, and showed mark
eo improvement on offense.
rhe game demon strated the fact
that unless Yost discovers someone
able to hurl the forward pass that
play will have 10 be discarded, as none
of the attempts OF Capt. Thomson to
toss the ball were successful. As a
matter OF fact they were amateurish In
the extreme, and made the team look
bad.
~'his week will see secret practice
on Ferry field every afternoon. and he
final prepping for the big games will
bc on In earnest. There are a number
of rough places to be smoothed out
before Michigan meets Pennsy and
Cornell, but there lie every indication
.hst the team viii he In first class
shape by the dates uf the big games
and Michigan should go through the
season without losing contest.
AS a matter OF fact from the show
ing which was made on Saturday by
the three eastern teams which Michi-
gan will meet, none of them should
even score on the Wolverines. Penn
sy. Cornell and Syracuse are all lam
entably weak at this stage OF the
game. and unless they take an unex-
pected brace, Michigan ought TO have
cinch winning from them.
The tackle question evidently Is
near solution. Cole and McHale,
Yost's original selections for the tack
le Jobs. played the entire game Sat
urlay, and put up good game. The
men who are trying 10 oust them from
the lob will have to make remark
able showing in the next week or two
II II Is to be done.
The backfield situation remains the
same. Craig and Thomson OF course
are fixtures. Carpet and Hubel may lose
out. but II does not seem prooaDie
MT this time Hughitt, who replaced
Carpel Saturday. really put up splen-
aid game. but with the added expert
ence Carpet has had he ought to be able
10 hang on. The probability OF Boyle
replacing Hubel at Quarterback grows
DINNER each day. Hubel Is running
the team In fine shape, and II is'hard-
ly likely that Yost will ditch him
this late In the season unless Boylc
shows something remarkable
