Ann Arbor. Mich, Sept. ga
strenuous workout in place kick
ing, drop kicking, punting and in
KICKOFF practice was what Yost
handed to the Wolverine squad
yesterday morning. In the after
noon he gave them another work
out, this time in blocking, tackling
and defensive playing, topped with
signal practice With all this the
squad was perfectly willing to be
let off from a scrimmage yester-
day afternoon, after an assurance
that that was what they would
get today. Outland. Benson,
Breakey. and Campbell were the
new men out last night, but they
did nothing worthy OF special note
Ohio State.
Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 26-Coach
Wilce stacked his varsity eleven
I'D against the freshman eleven
last night for a stiff driving drill,
which lasted for over an hour.
During that time many substitu-
tions were made. Harley was in
the back field and while in the line
up pulled several long runs, being
stopped once on the 10-yard line
after a 40-yard run. Stinhcomb
ran the team from the pivot posi-
ton and kept them stepping live
". His open field running and
quarterback sneaks lead many to
believe that he will run Harley a
hard race for high honors this
year. Wiiliaman was worked only
a short time, Laylor and Mathney
doing most Of the work at full
back.
Illinois.
Urbana, Ill, Sept 26.-Competi-
ton for jobs with the Him grew
ffercer last night. With II letter
men and some likely former squad
members on hand Zuppke will be
some time in picking a team to
meet Purdue next week. The back
field problem will be solved prob
ably By using two sets of backs as
was done last year, successfully,
but the line selection will be hard
That Larimer's leg injury inca
pacitates him for the season Is
feared. Lariner played end and
halfback in 1915. Several scho-
Iastic deficiencies on the part of
some players are worrying Zupp-
Ike. Interest in the Purdue game
is keen and an effort to have a
special train for rooterS viii be
made.

Madison, Wis. Sept. 26.--Shake-
ups in the Badger lineup are com
ing at a rapid rate in John Rich
ards effort 10 get workable back
fieId combination, and every C2ndl-
date is getting { crack at & variety
OF Jobs so that the coaches can
best get a line on his abilities. Yes
terday's scrimmage saw several
men on the first eleven for the first
time. Collins worked out at half
and Barr, shifted from quarter on
the subs, was given a try at full.
Sundt has been temporarily de-
prived of his old position at full
to make room for jacob and Barr.
and is now being groOned for a
berth at halfback. Matchette, new
" installed quarter on the sec
onds, has not developed confidence
but is showing marked promise.

Bob Sherman, a 250-pound line
man. who has been showing up
fairly well at tackle, was lost TO
the Minnesota team when he turn
ed in his football suit and an

NOtre Dame.
Notre Dame, Ind, Sept. 20
Dutch Bergman, stellar halfback,
tore through the opposing line in
the scrimmage between the varsity
squads yesterday and won the in
dividual honors of the workout.
Bergeman displayed uncanny abil-
ity in picking holes. MOhardt and
Barry. half backs on the oppos-
ing eleven, skirted the ends for
big gains. The work of Cudahy
at tackle featured the performance
of the linenen. George Gipp, half
back and punter, returned today.
He expects to be in shape for
