Yost Finds Drop Kicker In Dunno, Who Boots 'em From
Mdfield--Lighter Line Likely for Syracuse Game
Shakeup Among the
Forwards Already
Started

ANN ARBOR. Oct. 26.--Yost was
enthusiastic over the showing or
one man at least. Monday after
noon. and that man was "Morrie"
Dunno, Michigans star end. who
has been forced from the game for
a week or so because OF bad
ankle. Yesterday afternoon Dunno
returned and celebrated in showing
Yost's ends how TO break through
good interference, and also showed
Yosts kickers how to punt and
drop-kick.
Dunno will start Saturdays game
at one end and he will be called
upon TO do the kicking after what
ever touchdowns Michigan should
happen to make. and he will also at
tempt such field goals as Roehm or
ders. In practice for these duties.
-Morrie" kicked drop kicks for a
halfhour Monday, and seldom miss
ed kicks from 80 and 40 yards. And
so he moved back and kicked four
straight from the middle of the
field. each one going high and many
feet clear OF the bar. Then the
versatile end tried from the 35-yard
line and just missed two by inches.
Yost seemed happy over the show
ing.
Staatz may be in shape to start
against Syracuse. but Yost is doubt
ful. There seems to be something
very badly wrong with Staatz's
ankle. and It is injured much worse
than he at first supposed.
Yost Is contemplating certain 9TH
er changes of surprising nature.
He Is using Nieman now at center
on the FIRST team and has relegated
Norton to the second team. Whalen
has also been changed to the sec
ond team. where he performed at
tackle today. Rehor was moved to
tackle on the varsity.
Cochran and Millard played the
guards. while Watson held down his
tackle. Cochran did not look good
but the general impression
seems to be that he will play three
games now that will bring back his
lost prestige. Roehm and Maui
betsch, who alone kept up the fight
ing element against the Farmers.
Will start again, and 1t looks now
as though big Pat Smith will open
the encounter at full.
The other half Is still undecided.
Bastian viii not start, and probably
Eberwein will also be left out OF
the reckoning. That leaves only Cat
lett and Benton to pick from unless
Yost Is planning big surprise that
he IL keeping quiet.
II would not be a BIT surprising
TO see Michigan's line OF NEXT Satur-

one of last Saturday. Yost declared
