and Captain Paterson will play the
center position. Paterson 10 q center
Of the first order and should prove a
good leader for his teammates. Under
the tutelage of Germany Schulz he
should develop into an even stronger
player than in 1912. Several good men
came up from last years freshman
team who seem to be likely candidates
for varsity line positions. Among
them are Cochran, Benton, Norton,
and Diehl. Lichtner from last years
varsity squad will undoubtedly be
Paterson's substitute at center.
He played in many Of the games
last season while Paterson was injur-
ed and gave an excellent account Of
himself.
In the backneld the coaches plan to
use Hughitt at the quarter instead of
at half. He il a fast and heady play.
er. and with coaching should develop
into an excellent general, before the
season to a close. Craig. the
Wolverines great back. and ono Of
the best western players. will play one
half, while the other will be fought
out between Boyle. one Of the 1912
substitutes, Bently Of the squad. and
Bastian. Gait and Boehm Of the 1915
freshmen. From these men one Of
the strongest backfields Michigan has
ever had should be developed.

BADGER PLAYERS
REACH MADISON
No Practice Till Saturday,
Northwestern Prospects
Are Bettered.

Madison, Wis, Sept. 17.-The first
Of the football candidates Of the 1918
season at the University Of Wisconsin
arrived in Madison today ready to
work.
Practice under regular coaches will
not begin until Saturday, by the con-
ference rulings. but the men may do
as much cavorting around on their
own time as they wan to. The lower
campus and Camp Randell will be the
scene Of this preseason rehearsing.
and there will b. plenty Of the faith
full on the side lines to scrutinize the
early work Of the Badger hopefuls.
The loss Of Bellows and Human by
their failure to return is giving moro
concern to the coaches than was first
thought. Bellows was the best bet for
the quarterback position vacated by
Eddie Gillette, and Human vas cal
culated to fill Van Riper's place at
half back. To this extent the pros
poets for the team are not the bright
est.
William D. Richardson. the new
manager of athletics, sent letters to
eighty football men. and about forty
are expected to be on hand by Satur-
day.

on n team. However. I have made q
few changes that have totally chang
ed the complexion Of my team.
Peckinpaugh is q Star.
Roger Peckinpaugh, my new short
stop. will be the best in the league
next season. He's smart. miss.
es a sign, always hustles and. takes
good care Of himself. A player of
that stripe IL worth big money to a
club. Then he's q hard loser.
ANY time you get a bunch Of hard
losers you'll win games. A player who
smiles after a defeat disgusts me.
II honestly believe that Peckin-
paugh will have no superior in the
American league al the end Of next
reason. I got him or the waiver price
after Cleveland had repeatedly tried
to get him out of the league.
"Zeider is a great player, worth
twice as much to a club as Chase. I'm
glad I made that trade and v
onc regretted 1t, although I tried to
make Chicago pay Zeider's hospital
bill because they turned him over; in
bad physical condition. He's all. right
now. Williams, my. first baseman,
looks promising. So does Cook. They
are all clean livers and hard losers,
and that's why I like the outlook"

New York, Sept 1.-THE Browns

Chance declares. And the Peerless
Leader Of former years further de-
poses that the Yankees next season
will win half their games. He be-
lieves the acquisition of Peckinpaugh,

Chances method of rebuilding is

II paid $4,000 for Maisel because
/ think he's worth ten $1,000 ball

You can't do anything with cheap
talent. You've got to pay them big
salaries to keep them going. I'd rath-
er have five $6.000-a-year men on my

It would not greatly surprise those

versity of Michigan II 1913 proved to
be the last year that the Wolverines
would be seen in action against the
eastern teams. There is a strong sent
iment among many Of the Ann Arbor
adherent 8 to have Michigan go back
into the western conference. Most Of
the objections for which Michigan left
1t have been overcome and the other
conference restrictions are gradually
.loosening up. The main objections
that Michigan has = that the con-
ference regulations do not allow a
training table and that they permit
freshmen to compete on varsity
teams. It is thought that within a
year or two both Of these objections
will be removed. The conference
teams are anxious. TO meet Michigan.
back.
Many Michigan men are of the
opinion that the team could secure
better games and large attendance by
playing in the conference. The east.
ern teams demand large guarantees,
and usually Michigan has to make the
trip east in order to secure the games.
Coach Yost has issued a call for ov-
er thirty-fve candidates to report on
Ferry Field for preliminary practice,
which started September Is. The ma
terial this year Is exceptionally prom

After winning the first heat az tho

Vaster led the field home in the Sec

to the front in the third heat and
after breaking once. the trotter over
