yesterday when he lined up complete
eleven and sent them down the field

had called his squad together for the
first practive of the season.
I The advent of three of the Wolver-
| ines most seasoned veterans was the
probable cause of the unexpected
move on the part of the wizard coach,

amazement of the camp followers,
who in years past have been taught
to wait at least week before the
first inkling of a possible Yost eleven
made itself apparent. Captain James
Raynsford had charge of this first
eleven and worked at his old tackle
post.

| the veterans to arrive in camp yester-
day while the others to come in were
Burge, a former University of Wash

gan star, was in camp yesterday af-
ternoon and promised to come back
with his brother Tom before the Har-
ward game to help out Yost.
