them good 10 be sore on themselves.
They know they were rotten against
Syracuse and will try to make up Tor
it by working this week"
YOst ordered his varsity squad 20
report at Ferry Field for practice at
2:30 O'Clock, and then we all got up
and beat il, the players to their vari
Gus classes, the coach TO the privacy
of his home to think up plays for Use
against Harvard and Germany Schultz
and your correspondent to the billiard
hall.
At $3.50 o'clock the varsity squad
gathered on Ferry Field, and the coach
was kind enough to let me watch the
practice. Or perhaps he was trying TO
freeze me to death, but the practice
was secret, so ! can't tell you much
about il. There may have been a
scrimmage toward the close OF il, bat
by that time your scribe was at the
hotel trying TO get warm.
Assisting Yost in instructing his
| charges were Schultz, Cole. Watkins,
! Harry Hammond and Old Willie Hes
ton, who broke away for the afternoon
from his onerOus duties as assistant
prosecuting attorney at Detroit.
Hughitt was in at quarterback for
the varsity in the signal drill and
! handled the ball well, although his eft
arm appeared stiff. The men lined up
with Raynsford at centre, McHale and
Watson az the guards, Reimann and
Cochran at tackles, Staatz and Benton
at ends, Hughitt at quarter, Lyon
and Maulbetsch at halves ard Splawn
at full. Hughitt was full of pep"
ond instilled a lot Of Il into the others.
One couldn't help sympathizing with
Buzz Catlett, who has been PANIED for
his misdeeds in the Syracuse game.
Buzz took his mistakes to heart. but
he worked like horse in TIE practice.
and Il he gets into the Harvard game
ne can be depended on to fight. Real
izlng this, fOst may use him in part
OF the big battle TO give him a chance
TO square himself. for one hope he
does so. Tor he's nice appearing
young man and probably good to his
folks.
A fellow Journalist informed me AT
the practice that he had Just learned
Of the marriage o. Bushnell. suhsti-
TUE quarterback. This athlete took
unto himself wife n year ago, and
Kept 1t secret until to-day. Hugh
lit is another benedict, so Michigan
terback in the Harvard game. Whether
thls is an unfair advantage or not !
Will not venture 10 state
The varsity squad OF twenty-five
men will leave here OF Wednesday
afternoon. The scrub will follow on
Thursday afternoon in the rootcrs' spe-
cial. The Michigan team will stop at
the Woodland Park Inn. az Auburn
dale, about dozen miles outside of
Hos'on, and will practise in the sta
dunn on Friday afternoon.
II may be stated without fear OF
contradiction that the Wolverines are
in rather poor condition. As has been
printed several times, Yost had only
four veterans when the present season
opened, and of these four Hughitt has
a had arm and may not last the game
! out, Gait is sick in bed with a high
fever, TO say nothing OF a crippled
knee, and Raynsford has a bum leg
and a discolored eye. So lar rs can be
learned, Lyons is all right. There is
no chance OF Cats getting in against
Harvard and - very little Of his ever
playing football again. But Michi-
gan'S men. 20 judge from the way
they went AT their work this afternoon
are going 10 give Harvard all they've
got. and the Syracuse game. as
Schultz suggested, may have done them
good. | am overdue at the training
table.
r. S. Mr.. Fishbeiner was taken back
on the varsity squad to-day. Perhaps
that is unimportant, but ! am trying
TO give you maximum of fact and q
minimum of bunk.
