SEASON ON GRID COACHES OPENS AHEAD OF TIME, AS WOLVES BEGIN HOWL.

AS WOLVES BEGIN HOWL.
 Season on football coaches has been declared open earlier than us- ual this year.
 Harry Kipke is on the pan at Michigan.
 Successive defeats by Pittsburg and Northwestern were little toe much for Ohio States Monday morning quarterbacks, and Fran cis Schmidt is getting his first taste of what Sam Willaman and Dr. John Wilce endured before him.
 Proud California speaks of @ big name mentor succeeding Stub Allison, following reverses dealt by Saint Mary's and U. c. L. A.
 Vic Hanson has weathered many a storm at Syracuse, but is right now experiencing the toughest weather since he assumed com- mand six years ago.
 Although his initial campaign at Boston college barely has started, the veteran Gilmour Dobie's ears must be burning as they did dur ing the fag-end of his reign at Cornell.
 More than a few North Carolina State supporters have given up on the idea of Hunk Anderson lead ing the Wolfpack to the leader ship of the tough tobacco triangle.
 The situation at St. Louis uni- versity, where Cecil Muellerleile holds forth, already has reached the petition stage.
 Additional precincts no doubt will be heard from weekly.
 Wolves in Full Cry
 It required the most protracted streak of disaster in Michigan's his tory to bring out dissenters, but, now that they have taken the floor, their indictments are bitter est of all.
 They see considerable talent at Ann Arbor, where the current varsity was bolstered by what the coaches themselves called the sec- ond classiest batch of sophomores that ever wore the Maiaze and Blue. But save for a few mo- ments this season, the Wolverines have been handcuffed on defense the attack practically is non- existent, and the general football sense faulty.
 Many successful Michigan teams had no running attack worthy of the name. But those clubs had something in forward passing.
 They had bunting and stern defensive qualities, and were in- telligently quarterbacked. Of these fundamental Michigan character. istics, the only one to put in an appearance thus far this fsJl is bunting. The 1886 edition has at- tempted preposterous plays.
 Michigan is outcharged, and that is fatal. The line is strong, but is not resourceful. Any direct run ming attack will be stopped, but 8 complex, shifting, tricky attack baffles the forwards.
 Michigan a ks coherence Michigan players work alone, anc the only reason they occasionally do well is because many of then are naturally good players. It goes without saying that Michigan will not again have good team unti the coaching has made Il mer into Q co-ordinated machine. Schmidt's critics trace his losses to two of the best teams in the nation to his failureto pick out g first sring lineup and stick to il to some extent. In the Buckeyes thriller with Notre Dame last autumn, and against Pitt this trip they were beaten by blunders o1 second stringers while vastly more dependable athletes warmed the bench.
 California, under Allison, bowed only to Stanford last fall. Allison who finished out Navy Bill In- grams term the year before, is hurt chiefly because the Bears lwere expected to race Washington
