1.-THE Wolverines, Coach Yost Is not
taking any chances on an eleventh

this week will put his charges
Through q course of training as
strenuous as anything that has pre-.
coded it. The work OF the linemen
on Saturday last indicates that little
improvement is to be expected there,
at least in the line of defensive play,
but on offense the line did not show
as strongly as Coach Yost wished

exceptions, were given rest. The
game Saturday was a strenuous one.

the latter almost secured revenge for
Iall the things the varsity has done to
them this season, scoring q touch
down and a field goal, which is all
the regulars could do.
However, the latter were fortunate
enough to convert their lone touch
down into a goal, and the scrubs
didn't. AT that the scrubs played the
better game. having the varsity In

W. Yost evidently intends to give

He weighs over $50 pounds, and in
