 dicate to me that the western
 teams are not up to their last
 years strength and that the best work Is being done by the eastern elevens- Michigan. Wisconsin and Chi cag0 have not shown the form expected of them in my opinion. The fault lies in the ca1fber of the players more than anything else The coaches and cap ta1ns have done fairly well considering the material on hand.
 In the case of Michigan the line is ef- fective. but the backs are weak. Cap tain Patterson AIlmendingers Trap hagen. A6usser and the rest of them in the line are each and every one able to hold back his opponent for an in definite length of time. The Michigan forwards are big. and their bigness alone 1g M sufficient block to an oppo- nent no matter how hard he may try to slip by. Behind these men the backs are able 10 work with a most satisfying degree of surety that they will be given every Opportunity to get fairly started on their mission of carrying the ball before some troublesome tackler bursts Into view to block progress.
 The backs, however, while fast, are too light Hughitt, Catlett and GaIt get away very quickly and are all right tn a broken field or in end plays. but they are not rugged enough to- batter

 Torbet's speciality is pivoting on two or three toes of one foot, reaching high up in the air and landing -greedily on to the oval as it comes spinning along toward him The Detroiter is a human gyroscope- He never seems to lose his balance. Adeline Genee and her toe dancing proc1ivities have an equal in the Michigan end when he is in ac- tive pursuit of forward pass. and the result is that he is generally successful.
 The showing of Wisconsin against Purdue and of Michigan against the Michigan Agricultural college were not encouraging. and the teams have not improved enough since those contests to warrant chasing them with either Harvard, Princeton or Yale. I do not Believe I am doing any western team an injustice when I say that any of those three eastern teams could defeat any western eleven at this time.
