SHIFTING OF PLAYER MAY SPOIL THE '"ALl-STAR" POSITION

That Tad" Wolmann, Michigan's husky tackle, may be cheated out of an "all-American" berth by being shifted to full-back is the belief of Prentiss Douglass, assistant coach at Michigan.
 Welmann is in position this year to demand national recognition. He is big and strong and has developed rapidly under the tutelage of Yost and Pontine He played a stellar game at tackle last fall, reaching the top of his form in the Cornell contest.
 But the lack of back material has forced Yost to consider shifting Welmann to full back. Douglass is of the opinion that this change will have to be made permanent.
 Welmann ought to prove a tower of strength to the full back position. But however much he may do for Michigan there, the fact still re- mains that he would be brought more under Walter Camps eye on the line.

HEINIE ZIMMERMAN LED


 As is generally the case with teams that win championships, no one player on the New York club stands out prominently in driving in runs.
 Heinie Zimmerman was the big gun of the attack for the Giants this year., with a record of eighty eight sent over the plate. The Bronx man, stationed in the clean up berth, naturally would hit in twenty-five or thiry more tallies than any other player on the team.
 Benny Kauff, third in the batting order, and Arthur Fletcher, fifth, rank second to Zim in putting the finishing touches to counters, each with record of sixty. Davy Robert son stands fourth with fifty-eight i; Walter Holke fifth, with forty-nine ; George Burns sixth, with thirty eight, and Charley Herzog seventh, with twenty-nine. Burns record for batting in runs is out of the ordin- ary for man who leads off.
